Need Laptop_Budget 70K

Just saying based on exp with my cousins' laptops, relatives & my father. I have been using 16GB RAM since 2016, now in 2022 jumped to 32GB.
I have been using 8gb ram without issues on my win 8.1 laptop as well as pc until I installed the latest 21H1 version of win 10. Initially I didn't notice this issue & assumed it was due to low ram because of accumulating win 10 processes over weeks(I often run my pc for weeks continuously) but later I started checking task manager memory tab often & noticed this anomaly of 40% physical ram still available yet committed ram(physical ram+page file) usage hitting 95% usage(one would assume that page file usage will never be so much more than physical ram usage under typical circumstances). I have tested different browsers & this issue seems to be specifically related to chromium based browsers on latest win 10 as same chrome browser on my win 8.1 laptop does not have this issue. I think I can resolve this by probably leaving enough free space in my C drive ssd or maybe set page file to around 8-10gb but these are not ideal solutions. Currently I have increased my page file to 4gb to see if it helps. I don't want to buy extra 8gb ram just to solve this issue.

What about this...

Dell Inspiron 3520 Intel Core i5 12th Gen (15.6 inch, 16GB, 512GB, Windows 11, MS Office 2021, Intel UMA Graphics, Full HD Display, Platinum Silver, D560879WIN9S)

&

HP Pavilion 15-EG2035TU Intel Core i5 12th Gen (15.6 inch, 16GB, 512GB, Windows 11, MS Office 2021, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, FHD IPS Display, Fog Blue, 6D4K7PA#ACJ)​

Honestly all 3 of them are overpriced, other two should be overpriced as well. Diwali sale was the best time to buy. My suggestions still are the same, but Aero 13 got a price rise apparently & Lenovo one is out of stock.

Asus Vivobook K15 OLED with R7, 16GB RAM & 512GB SSD was under 65k in Flipkart.

Thanks for the reply...any new year sale will come?

What about Asus...Compare to Dell and HP....After-sales service?

what about this one...

HP 15s- eq2182AU AMD Ryzen 5 (15.6 inch, 16GB, 512GB, Windows 11 Home, MS Office Home and Student 2021, AMD Radeon Graphics, Full HD Display, Natural Silver, 6K7U2PA#ACJ)​

Last I checked, HP 15 was worse than HP 14 because of TN panel (vs IPS) & non-backlit KB (vs white backlit). HP 14 with R5 5500U was 48k, even lower on offer, can add 2nd 8GB RAM stick in it.

One more doubt....Go with Integrated Graphics or Dedicated Graphics...which one is good?
Normal tasks - iGPU is enough

You mean to go for the IPS panel?

Avoid Mi. Really doubt if they can match their ASS upto the level of Dell or Asus ASS. Sticking to mainstream brands would be wiser.

Yes, TN panels have bad colors. Always look for IPS panel on laptops, OLED if you have the budget.

Don't rely too much on Asus after sales support either. An asus laptop purchased from Flipkart was found to have a very small part(connector for installing additional ssd so no impact on laptop's working) broken inside for which they are refusing standard warranty saying it can not be considered as manufacturing defect. Now just think what kind of physical mishandling from Flipkart could break a 6-7mm length part hidden below a thin metal strip inside a fully sealed packed laptop without leaving as much as a single scratch/dent on the outside of laptop body.

That's a manufacturing defect, unless someone broke the part after opening the laptop.

Approach consumer forum and file a chargeback with bank.
Consumer forum is too time consuming so need some thinking but chargeback is out because too much time has passed not to mention Indian banks usually don't consider chargeback for non-fraud expensive items buying scenarios like these.

Overpriced, should've come with 16 GB RAM. Don't get Dell laptops unless your company is buying them on long service contracts.
