Our picks for laptops within 50k

Like smartphones, laptops come in the mid-range as well. While these laptops may not be powerhouses for gaming or workstation purposes, they are still great for on-the-go work and entertainment. Mid-range laptops are also perfect for content writing, script writing, graphics designing and anything that does not demand too much from the computer's RAM and graphics. However, finding a good mid-range laptop can be difficult at first. Here are our recommendations for five laptops that just about fit the mid-range budget of Tk. 50,000.

Asus VivoBook 15 X515FA - Core i3, 10th gen, 15.6" FHD

The Asus VivoBook 15 has a hefty processing speed of up to 4.10 GHz, backed by an Intel Core i3-10110U processor. Notably, this device has a slightly tilted keyboard rather than the usual flat-down one, which helps typing feel easier on the hands. The 15.6-inch full HD 1920x1080 screen is excellent for movies. 4 GB RAM, typical for laptops in this price range, is enough to get any light work done. The laptop also comes with the standard 1 TB HDD. Keeping this as a side device for emergencies or remote work can be a good choice.

Dell Inspiron 15 3501 - Core i3, 11th gen, 15.6″ FHD

It's sleek, it's sharp and it's professional - the Dell Inspiron 15 is a sturdy work tool that can handle basic graphics work with ease thanks to its Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor. With up to 4.10 GHz of processing power, this laptop can run Photoshop and Illustrator quite well. It also comes with Xe Graphics, a good-quality graphics card that allows it to run older games like Mortal Kombat 9 and FIFA 19 quite smoothly. As expected from a mid-range laptop, 4 GB RAM goes well considering the price and overall performance. The 15.6-inch 1920x1080 FHD display is backed up by anti-glare technology, which makes viewing the screen easy on the eyes.

HP EliteBook X360 1030 - Core i5, 8th gen, 13.3" FHD

Some might not want a laptop with an Intel Core i5-8250U, 8th gen processor. But then again, a Core i5 processor with 3.5 GHz speed is pretty powerful in the mid-range budget. The HP EliteBook 1030 comes with a small and fast 512 GB SSD, as well as a 13.3-inch FHD all-touch display, which can be paired with a stylus to make graphical work easier. Despite being 8th gen, this device has an ample 8 GB RAM. The screen can be flipped 180 degrees to draw or easily use the touch screen.
