1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
50k INR
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?
I will be running Ubuntu. Watching movies or listening to music in one of the players or in Netflix/Youtube. Gaming is not a requirement, but if some light gaming can be done occasionally within this budget, why not?
5) Any typical configuration in your mind you're eying for ?
Ryzen 5 laptops seem to be suitable in this budget. But since I think there will only be two RAM slots, can I get a laptop with 12GB instead of swapping one 4GB stick for an 8GB one later? I probably would be using this for 5 or 6 years and I don't want to be hunting for RAM when its no longer available.
Also I don't intend to run Windows on this, so can I get a laptop not bundled with Windows and shave some price off it?
4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: Any brands known for good service and long term reliability.
b. Dislike:
6) Anything else you would like to say?
50k INR
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
- Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen

- Screen resolution ( 1080p (Full HD) )
- Battery back up ( normal (3-4hrs) )
- Purchase place ( Online (eg - flipkart, infibeam) / Local ) Are there any local places open now and offering the same price as online stores? I am in Kerala, btw.
