How to choose a laptop under 30,000 rubles?

Even in the absence of any knowledge about the design of a laptop, you can buy an excellent gadget yourself, knowing only a few parameters that are the most important when choosing.

First of all, the design of the device should attract you: working on a laptop that you like in appearance is always a joy.

Speaking of color, the gray case is less likely to show fingerprints than the black case, and the white and colored models look dirty over time.

Well, all other characteristics are already related to the technical content of the laptop.

Screen Features . The size, matrix and resolution are important, as well as the color gamut and type of coating (matte or glossy).
Processor power . The speed and performance of the device depends on this.
Video card . It is better if, in addition to the built-in one, there is also a discrete one.
Amount of RAM . The best option is from 8 GB.
Storage device . SSD is considered a more modern option than HDD.
Cooling system . The better it is, the faster the laptop.
Case material and dimensions . Metal laptops are more reliable than plastic ones, and the mobility and transportability of the device directly depends on the dimensions.

Other parameters are also important, for example, the location and number of connectors and inputs, keyboard backlighting, and touchpad sensitivity.

If you pay attention to these characteristics in the store, the purchase of the device will be successful: the laptop is suitable for any purpose and will not disappoint after purchase.

ASUS X540UB

TOP 3 best gaming laptops under 30,000 rubles

For gamers, processor power and image quality are very important, so many consider only premium laptops priced from 100 thousand rubles. But budget models can also be decent for most games.

Lenovo Ideapad 330 15

An excellent laptop with a Full HD screen, a powerful processor, many useful connectors and a Dolby Audio sound system.

Despite the fact that the case is still made of plastic, the assembly of the model is of high quality: nothing creaks or plays.

On a large 15.6″ screen, it is quite possible to work with both text information and graphics in natural or artificial light.

But the outdated TN matrix still affects viewing angles, although this is not critical for gamers.

With multimedia, for example, high resolution (4K or more) and powerful games, it will be more difficult.

The plastic case is very well assembled and is not subject to deformation. The frame may seem wide compared to its peers, but the screen is still large at 15.6″.

The best laptops at the lowest price

The first selection of laptops in the review are models that you can buy with a very modest budget. The need for such a purchase does not arise very rarely. The reason may be urgency (sudden trip, failure or loss of an existing laptop) or justified expediency - solving simple problems, temporary use when traveling, for studying for a high school student. The presented configurations are minimal, and if desired, their capabilities can be expanded to varying degrees.

Acer ASPIRE ES1-531-C18L

Rating: 4.6

The second budget model in our rating is on average slightly more expensive than the first, but has important differences in configuration and is aimed at a wider range of tasks, except for the most basic ones.

First, about the fundamental differences. This model has a 500GB mechanical HDD with a spindle speed of 5400 rpm. There is also such an “anachronism” as an internal optical drive. Despite the fact that this technology is increasingly becoming a thing of the past every year, there is a fairly wide range of tasks where DVD cannot yet be done without. Finally, unlike the model described above, the screen here is extremely minimalistic - an inexpensive TN matrix with a resolution of 1366x768 and a screen size of 15.6 inches diagonally.

The central processor in this model is Celeron N3050 series on two Braswell cores with a frequency of 1600 MHz. RAM 4GB, type - DDR3L, frequency - 1600 MHz. Video subsystem – integrated Intel GMA HD.

This laptop is noticeably larger and heavier than the previous one due to the use of a mechanical hard drive and optical drive: 381.6x258x26.1 mm, net weight - 2.4 kg. The battery is noticeably weaker than the previous model - lithium-ion with a capacity of 3220 mAh, so the autonomy of this model is not record-breaking, but quite acceptable.

Advantages

the presence of an optical drive (in this case we consider this an advantage);
sufficient performance taking into account the minimum cost;
reliability;
high-quality assembly.

Flaws

No pronounced disadvantages were noted.

HP Notebook 15-rb005ur

The first thing that attracts the Ideapad 330-15IGM model is its appearance, non-standard and not entirely classic. The case is very thin and has a unique light gray “color”.

Price: 29,990 rubles

Asus X540LJ-XX755T offers its owner an Intel Core i3 5005U processor with two cores, each operating at a frequency of 2 GHz. RAM capacity – 4 GB, frequency – 1600 MHz. There are two video cards, the discrete one is GeForce 920M, and the built-in one is Intel HD 5500. The hard drive has a capacity of 500 GB. Screen diagonal – 15.6 inches, resolution – 1366x768.

The Asus X540LJ-XX755T is a completely balanced and good solution for those who do not plan to play powerful games on a laptop. In order to fit the Intel Core i3 5005U processor into it, we had to save on the RAM frequency - only 1600 GHz, but this does not affect the work much. The screen resolution is also a little confusing - the lack of Full HD in a laptop for such a price is a clear minus.
