Hey peeps, it&rsquo;s time to get back to the college in an offline mode and I hope that you all are excited and preparing yourself for it.
After going through the comments of my videos, I found there are several students who have not purchased a laptop and they&rsquo;re in search of a good laptop, but confused, because there are tons of options available. Don&rsquo;t worry I got you covered!
In this post, we&rsquo;ll be discussing top laptops for the people whose budget is around 40-70k.
There are certain points that I want to make very clear,
Firstly all the laptops contain RTX 3000 series GPU because this is the latest GPU and it has some mind-boggling features such as DLSS, Reflex, etc., and this series is based on Ampere Architecture.
Secondly, we&rsquo;ve picked some laptops that don&rsquo;t contain the latest Gen processor but believe me the performance of those CPUs is much better than the latest ones.
<h3>1. HP Pavilion Ryzen 5600H, GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop:</h3>

[Updated 2022] Best Laptops To Buy in 2022 - Laptop Buying Guide between 40-70k INR

Hello folks, recently Microsoft rolled out its new Windows 11 on 5 October. If you don&rsquo;t know about the features of Windows 11, then you can check out <a href="../blogpost/windows-11-iso-leaked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this</a> blog. So, this blog is solely for those who want to upgrade to windows 11 and are confused about whether they should update or not?
Despite being the latest version of Windows, I don&rsquo;t think you should upgrade to Windows 11 right now. Windows 11 has been optimized for good productivity and also packs with a Good UI design, but it is too early to migrate. I mean in probably 3-4 months I might upgrade, but not now. Why? Because&nbsp; I personally think there&rsquo;s not much to explore in windows 11 right now. The most hyped feature, the support for android apps in windows, for which I was excited about the most, got delayed, and also, there are reports coming that the final release has some performance issues. I heard some news where a user said:
&ldquo;A Dell XPS 13 just felt slower, despite its 10th-generation Intel processor and 8 gigabytes of RAM. Even when I closed Slack, which was eating RAM like a hungry hippo, the computer still wasn&rsquo;t as peppy as it was on Windows 10. If your older computer is still running smoothly on Windows 10, you might think twice before upgrading!&rdquo;
If you still dare to upgrade to Windows 11, then here&rsquo;s the official method to do so.
&lt;|AD|&gt;
<h2>Steps to install Windows 11 (without losing any data)</h2>
1. Navigate to this site: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows11">https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows11</a>
2. Now click on download installation assistant.
<img src="https://api.codewithharry.com/media/blogFiles/windows-11-update-installation/image6.png" width="901" height="214" />
3. Now open the assistant and click on agree to start the installation.
<img src="https://api.codewithharry.com/media/blogFiles/windows-11-update-installation/image2.png" />
NOTE:&nbsp; YOU MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET SO THE INSTALLER CAN&nbsp;DOWNLOAD THE FILES
4. This is how it will look while downloading
<img src="https://api.codewithharry.com/media/blogFiles/windows-11-update-installation/image1.png" width="902" height="635" />
5. It will take a while, remember if you are on Laptop, make sure to plug in the charger.&nbsp;
&lt;|AD|&gt;
6. Once the files are downloaded and installed it will look like this.
<img src="https://api.codewithharry.com/media/blogFiles/windows-11-update-installation/image3.png" width="327" height="302" />
7. Now your pc will look something like this which means we are almost there,
<img src="https://api.codewithharry.com/media/blogFiles/windows-11-update-installation/image4.png" />
&lt;|AD|&gt;
And once it is done you will be greeted with Windows 11 Lock screen,
<img src="https://api.codewithharry.com/media/blogFiles/windows-11-update-installation/image5.jpg" width="946" height="532" />
&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s all for this tutorial. Hope you will successfully upgrade to Windows 11. If you still have any doubt, then feel free to comment below. Thank you everyone and I&rsquo;ll catch you in the next tutorial.

Should You Upgrade To Windows 11 Just Yet? + Installation of Windows 11

Hello everyone, in this blog, we will build three pc under the budget of 30k rupees.&nbsp;
We are going for custom build this time just because prebuilds are not good and there you don&rsquo;t have the option to choose the components and sometimes the performance of those components are poor. Also, prebuild components don&rsquo;t offer you many upgradability options. In terms of custom builds, we have the independence to choose components and we also have better upgradability options. And we can build the pc at an affordable price.&nbsp;
Here I&rsquo;ve mentioned different builds:
&nbsp;
<h4>20000 INR BUILD</h4>
For the 20k build, we are going with this configuration
Processor - AMD Athlon 3000G
Motherboard - Gigabyte AMD A320
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 1TB&nbsp;
Cabinet - Frontech Semi-Premium Full ATX
Total Price: 19038
&nbsp;
<h4>25000 INR BUILD</h4>
For the 25k build, we are going with this configuration.
Processor - Core i3 10100
Motherboard - MSI H510M-A PRO
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 1TB&nbsp;
Cabinet - Frontech Semi-Premium Full ATX
Total Price: 27750
&nbsp;
<h4>30000 INR BUILD</h4>
For the 30k build, we are going with this configuration.
Processor - Ryzen 3 3200G
Motherboard - ASRock A320M
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 1TB&nbsp;
Cabinet - Frontech Semi-Premium Full ATX
Total Price: 26750
&nbsp;
Due to the high prices of PC components at this time, these are the best I could gather. Maybe the prices will get low in the future, and these builds will become cheaper than they are right now. I have chosen iGPU for the intel build, and APU&rsquo;s for AMD builds as dedicated graphics card prices are much higher. If you plan on gaming somewhere near the future, you can add a graphic card to the build.&nbsp;
I have prepared a google sheet with links, you can access it by using the links given below.

PC Builds for Coders - Budget PCs You Can Build This Festive Season

In this blog, we will be discussing the best laptop models to buy for students. Before buying any laptop you should consider these points first.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Importance of SSD:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
You should always prefer a laptop with SSD. SSDs are 10X faster than mechanical hard drives and are highly recommended these days. SSDs usually have a longer life compared to mechanical drives.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Importance of Recent Processors:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The processor is responsible for processing the data. Better the processor better computations can be performed by it. More threads and cores mean better multitasking(multiprocessing). Higher-generation processors are usually better in terms of performance and pricing.
&lt;|AD|&gt;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How to get Discounts?</li>
</ul>
You can get very good deals during Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale and Amazon&rsquo;s Great Indian Festival Sale.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How much Ram is sufficient?</li>
</ul>
RAM is responsible for storing the programs temporarily in the volatile memory. The higher and faster the RAM, the better the multitasking performance. For an average user I suggest 8 GB of ram is enough.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Do you need a Graphics Card?</li>
</ul>
If you are interested in gaming, video editing, or graphics-intensive software like Blender, Premiere Pro/After-Effects, you will need a good graphic card. Otherwise, graphic cards will not hamper your experience on your machine.
&lt;|AD|&gt;
