Best Laptop under 40k

So what do you guys suggest, the MI (41k model) one or the Asus one?
My suggestion would be Asus because Xiaomi surely would lack in after-sales department. Even though they have been making laptops for some years now, this is the first time they are bringing laptops to India. The Mi laptop seems to have a better build for sure.

Guy's one final question to you all.

- Need good looking, light weight and slim piece with back lit keyboard.

- pls suggest one with numpad and one without it.

May be Ryzen 5 series with 512gb SSD would do, if it has an option to increase the ssd, that would be superb.

Around 40k.

Please.

First things first, thin & light don't go together with gaming(don't know what light gaming exactly means as I am not a gamer) & possibly numpad. Also do not buy any laptop nowadays without ssd unless you want to get frustrated seeing your old win 7/8.1 laptop run faster than your new laptop running win 10.

Can we expand the Hard Drive in this. Like putting another 512gb SSD?

From above flipkart link:
The storage in this system is fabulous. It comes with a 512GB nvme m.2 ssd out of which 477 gb is usable and 450gb after installing windows what we get. It is really fast and apps opens just with a click. Everything runs really smooth. Their is an option for installation another 2.5inch drive.

So what exactly is this option?

Can we install another SSD drive or HHD?
You can rest assured that every laptop mobo comes with at least 1 sata port so if a laptop has NVMe ssd then 99% chance that it will support an extra sata hdd/ssd unless laptop design is too slim to fit it(hence the 99% chance).

Don't take me wrong, can we get a 100% confirmation from anywhere?

It would be a deal breaker for me!

ASUS VivoBook 15 X512DA | Laptops | ASUS Global

It states that it supports PCIe 3.0 x2 SSD which is only possible in M.2 slot, not SATA slot used by 2.5" drive bays. It is mentioned that it supports HDD as well. Worst case scenario, they don't include the cable to connect 2.5" HDD to the slot in motherboard of the laptop.

Absolutely not, in last year Oct sale this same model used to sell for just under 40k.

Then please suggest one -

- Need good looking, light weight and slim piece with back lit keyboard.

- Pls suggest one with numpad and one without it.

May be Ryzen 5 series with 512gb SSD would do, if it has an option to increase the SSD, that would be superb

First of all you will have to decide whether you want numpad or not because if you do then no 14"(or smaller screen size) option for you.

If it is not urgent then I suggest to wait at least till Oct sale.

Or may be this -
