Configuration matters: Two laptops with the same name can differ significantly in terms of RAM, SSD, and GPU. Always check what you're getting.
-
Upgrade flexibility: Laptops that allow RAM/storage upgrades can be more future-proof.
-
After-sales & service: Better to go with models that have good service centres in your city. Lenovo and Acer both have decent coverage, but get confirmation.
