2020 has been a pretty good year for laptop manufacturers. What initially started as a slow first half, turned into an incredibly successful second half. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, working professionals and students alike had to stay inside their living spaces, but their work or education couldn’t come to a grinding halt. The result? Working professionals had to rely on their laptops to get their work done, send progress reports and presentations from home, while students are asked to attend online classes via Zoom and other video conferencing platforms, and had (are having) to rely either on their laptops, or smartphones.
Thus, at a time when all of us have to depend on our electronic devices, unsurprisingly, laptop manufacturers have witnessed a spike in laptop sales. While some of us managed to get our hands on laptops during the Diwali sales, thereby taking advantage of offers and discounts, there are others who are waiting for Christmas, and want to make the most of the discounts that brands, retail outlets and e-commerce platforms offer towards the end of the year.
If you fall into the latter category, and are looking for a sleek, stylish laptop that does not cost a premium, here are a few thin, lightweight laptops you should definitely look into.
