Laptop recommendation for a cs student under $600 or in India 50,000 INR - eviltoast

Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.

The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.

Things which I do :

  1. Read documents
  2. Watch videos and listen to music
  3. Light coding
  4. Tinker with almost everything
  5. Try new software if i can.

I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.

      Very high spec for the money, old hardware but still far more powerful than many modern laptops that are more expensive

      You’re not going to be running cyberpunk at 4k on it but for all of the things you mentioned it won’t even break a sweat

      Just make sure you pay attention to the specs because there are different builds of them with different amounts of memory, GPU and screen resolution I believe
