Note
I have not wrote much about the keyboards, trackpads, and speaker experience as all of them are good in that areas, if a laptop specially has some problem or is much better than other laptops in its price in terms of keyboard, trackpad speakers or any other area then i have wrote about it.
Also if you want to buy any of the above mentioned laptops, it would be nice of you to use my links as it wont cost you any extra money, but may give me some money.
Conclusion
To Conclude, my best pick’s are ROG Zephyrus G14, HP Omen 15, and MacBook Air, they are the best laptops in India for 2020 and has the highest value for money, especially the MacBook Air it defeats most of the intel powered laptops, and is the undisputed champion in single-threaded workload, and losses to only the Ryzen 4000 chips in Multi-threaded workload.
The ROG Zephyrus G14 and HP Omen 15 are also excellent laptops.
If you look into the lower price segment, then the Acer Swift 3, Lenovo Flex 5 and Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5, are Best laptop in India under ₹60K Segment and has an excellent value for money, and if you can get the HP Envy X360 for a price of Around ₹60K(Usually During Sales), then its the one to go for.
