To switch from Mac Air. Need Suggestions

In chrome go to more tools--task manager & see your tabs memory usage. If any tab is using more than 100MB ram then either that site is graphics heavy or your adblocker/site bot protection feature is increasing ram usage. Open that same site in another new tab to see how much ram usage shown for that tab.
Only videos are 100+MB, with actively running one at 300MB.

Well, going with that calculation, 8 GB would suffice.
Any suggestion within 50k?
Mac air is yet in repair shop, trying to sell it.

HP 14 with R5 5500U, it's usually out of stock.
Is this the one:
Take a look at this HP Ryzen 5 Quad Core 3500U - (8 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home) 14s-dk0501AU Thin and Light Laptop on Flipkart
*dl.flipkart.com/s/egTNgeNNNN

Some more options?
 
This is the one:
Amazon.in

Something cheaper & bit more powerful than R5 3500U:
*www.amazon.in/HP-14-inch-Windows-Natural-14s-fq1029AU/dp/B0928SZKL1/

It has a free RAM slot, so add a 2nd RAM.

It seems laptop prices are current on the higher side, like 10% higher compared to Dec last year. With chip shortages, I am not sure if it will come down. But how about waiting for good offer, especially the exchange value for Mac air.

Laptop demand skyrocketed post 2019 lockdown because of WFH & studies from home. So all under 50k laptops are kind of inflated in price. Earlier (pre corona) you could get a decent R3 + SSD + 4GB RAM laptop for ~30k, now its almost impossible even at 35k.
