If you have a budget of more than Rs 40,000 then you can get IPS display. Of course, you can’t get an Apple MacBook Air at Rs 40,000. Go for a full HD resolution 1080×1920 and a bigger screen size.

2. More RAM is better

If you want to have a decent experience go for 8 GB RAM. 4 GB is the absolute minimum. If you intend to do  lots of photo and video editing, go for a 16 GB RAM laptop.

3. Weight Matters
