=8GB ram =500GB hdd =14inch screen
For work -
Look for the one with the latest Intel chip. Then see if you can get a i7 in that range and then make sure it's not a trash U series underpowered one.
Then compare with equivalent from AMD. Prioritise processor>screen>battery.
For gaming- prioritise the graphic card over processor. See if you can get a 4060 or settle with a 3060. Make sure the processor is H or HX and not trash U again.
Don't buy a Dell. Fuck dell
Don't fixate in Ram. Just make sure it isn't soldered. You can very cheaply upgrade it to 16 or 32. Same with SSD.
what happened with Dell ?
If you are from Blr, go Visit Shiva Laptop in Banaswadi or Softbazaar in Marathalli. These guys sell used laptops, and I have seen the conditions and specs. Those were amazing. in this budget you can get laptops from Macbook 2020 to Lenovo X series laptop as well. I found them on OLX and visited their shops to buy used items, those items were as new as I can buy from Amazon.
