Millions of Indians are currently working from home due to the COVID-19 caused country-wide lockdown. And considering the speed of transmission of the novel-coronavirus disease, it is seemingly far more unlikely for most of us to even think about going to the office.
A lot of employers have understood that this issue will prevail for a long time and have requested their employees to purchase a good laptop or PC so that they can work from home without any issues. This cost can be offset by the cost of travel and daily food and tea bills, which is now non-existent.
Here is a look at the top five laptops under Rs 40,000 that you can get to not hit any sort of snags while working from home.

What are the best laptops for working from home? With the coronavirus pandemic, we've all been stuck working from home to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This means that all of us also require a lot of new infrastructure to get work done. For many of us, this also means it's time to update our laptops. Xiaomi is launching its Mi Notebook in India very soon, but in the meanwhile many of us can't really wait to buy a new laptop in order to improve our efficiency while working from home.
While some companies have started tagging some of their models as the best suited ones for people working from home, there aren't any specific features that enable a productive work from home environment. All you need is an efficient hardware with a battery life that can help you survive even in a power cut situation. That said, with a focus on work, you can leave aside entry level laptops that are often a good choice for students, performance focused (and barely portable) gaming laptops, and also, the top end, ultra-portable ultra books. With this in mind, we've put together a list of laptops that are a good fit for professionals who will spend a lot of time using productivity tools, have good connectivity options, and good battery life so you can easily move around different locations in the house rather than causing a RSI by sitting in a single posture the whole day.
We are highlighting the popular professional options that are available through major online and offline channels. Here are our favourite laptops for working from home, in no particular order:
1. Acer Swift 3
The Acer Swift 3 features a 14-inch full-HD (1920x1080 pixels) IPS display and comes with an AMD Ryzen 4000 series processor, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD storage. The notebook also has stereo speakers and runs Windows 10 Home out-of-the-box. Further, you'll get most of the important connectivity options including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.0, a USB Type-C port with DC in, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port with power-off charging support, and an HDMI port. The laptop also packs a 48Wh battery that is touted to deliver up to 11 hours of usage on a single charge. Acer has provided a fast charging technology that is claimed to take 30 minutes to provide four hours of battery life. The laptop weighs 1.2 kilograms, which is fair enough for the given hardware.
