The Best Laptops for Home Use in Pakistan
25 Apr 2023
If you just need a basic laptop for home use and don't need the high-end models demanded by graphic artists or die-hard gamers, then you have come to the right place.
Based on the operating system that there are generally three basic types of laptops: Chromebooks, Macs, and Windows machines.
Windows offers the widest range of laptop alternatives. MacBooks come with MacOS preinstalled. These have a high beginning price but are excellent quality models that are extremely well liked by graphic artists. If you're new to computers or searching for the finest low-cost laptops, ChromeOS is a wonderful place to start since it's a more straightforward operating system.
From all the big brands, we've ranked some of the most recent and best examples of each of them below that fit in home use category. Prices for laptops vary on features like screen size, CPU, memory, and storage, therefore we've selected a model in each instance that we believe provides the ideal balance for daily use.
While buying a laptop for home use Lenovo is usually a solid starting point. You can get Lenovo laptops running the newest version of Windows at a reasonable price.
The Yoga Slim 7 Pro laptop from Lenovo, however, is more expensive. What you get is a really thin and competent Windows computer with a fantastic blend of mobility and power, with fast CPUs and a gorgeously crisp OLED screen.
A full-sized USB connector is still there for attaching devices, and the enormous built-in trackpad allows for accurate control when mobile.
It's lightning-quick, as you would expect: it stars up in nine seconds after being turned off, wakes up almost instantly from sleep mode, and provides outstanding image quality in video playback. The camera also works well in low light. MS Word loads in about two seconds.
An excellent choice if you're seeking for an everyday home use machine.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 160,000 to Rs. 260,000
Google’s ChromeBook operating system is light and easy to use. The downside to ChromeOS is that it’s slightly trickier to use it for work tasks, but the upside is it’s very fast and you can achieve most tasks from entertainment to video calls without installing apps.
This Chromebook includes a large Full HD screen and built-in Harman Kardon speakers, so it’s perfect for home entertainment.
It’s also extremely fast, launching the web app of Microsoft Word near-instantly, and turning on in less than two seconds. From sleep mode, it instantly springs to life, and offers sterling picture and sound quality on video calls and streamed video.
Picture quality is excellent on the large 15.6-inch screen, and the supplied pen to write on screen means this is as good for creative tasks as it is for unwinding with a video in tablet mode.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 200,000 to Rs. 225,000
If you're searching for a Windows computer that can be used for both work and pleasure while you are home, Samsung's Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 is a slim and stylish option.
As a "two in one" device, it may be folded over to use as a tablet for enjoyment while simultaneously providing enough power for work. For sketching on the screen, a quick and responsive S Pen is included.
It operates as quickly and energetically in usage as you would anticipate from its sleek design, waking up from sleep in just four seconds and loading MS Word in just two seconds.
The built-in camera and microphone perform well while playing back video, albeit they are not the sharpest under test. The fact that this Samsung device is ideal for both work and pleasure is highlighted by extras like a fingerprint scanner that speed up login.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 266,000 to Rs. 563,000
Its pricing is comparable to that of most general-purpose laptops, but it also has a graphics card that can play games, making it an excellent compromise option for certain families.
Although you won't get the kind of performance you'd expect from a high-end gaming machine at this budget, the Nvidia graphics card is strong enough to run the newest games.
It excels at connections, so if, for instance, you want to play a laptop movie on your home TV using an HDMI-out cable, this offers three older-style USB ports as well.
Given the size of the device, you won't want to be moving it about much. There is also an Ethernet connector for a wired connection that makes this laptop ideal for home usage.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 214,000 to Rs. 282,000
Apple laptops are stylish, small, and appealing, and they are surprisingly simple to operate despite running a different operating system than Windows. If you're searching for a laptop that can serve many different purposes, choose this MacBook Air model.
With a sleek, metallic finish, a large trackpad (ideal for precise control if you're doing anything artistic), and a fan-free design, it is very stunning to hold. Thanks to Apple's potent new M1 CPU, it also has a lot more computational power than prior Apple models and can be used with ease for jobs that are somewhat difficult.
The battery life is also quite amazing, allowing you to use the device for up to 18 hours before needing to plug it in.
Only two USB-C ports are available for connecting devices, but Mac users have learned to deal with this drawback. A pricey laptop that is quite beautiful.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 380,000 to Rs. 750,000
The Surface Go 3 won’t appeal to everyone because of its 12.5-inch screen, but it is remarkably light, portable, and powerful. It has a quick Core i5 CPU and a built-in 128Gb SSD for storage.
Importantly, the battery can function for up to 13 hours on one charge, which makes this an excellent option for anyone who will be active all day. The optional plastic keyboard is not for everyone since it only has one USB-C connector and the one we tried had a fuzzy feel, which is clearly an acquired taste.
The Surface Go 3 is shockingly quick, running Word in less than three seconds and Windows in only eight. The Zoom and Netflix calls look fantastic, and the camera is surprisingly excellent.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 85,000 to Rs. 225,000
The Swift line from Acer delivers excellent value with a tiny form factor, strong performance, and (relatively) affordable costs.
The fact that these Acer models include connectors like two USB ports and an HDMI-out adds additional points for their excellent performance at a reasonable price.
Choosing a slimmed-down model often results in the loss of all the necessary connections, making it impossible to attach accessories like mice without upgrading.
This Acer laptop works as expected, starting up almost instantaneously from sleep, starting MS Word in under a second, and starting up after being turned off in six seconds. Pictures taken on zoom calls are clear, however the camera does (slightly) less well in dim light.
These laptops are a fantastic option if space is limited or you often travel for business since they offer a 30-minute rapid charge that enables speedy recharging.
Price Range in Pakistan: Rs. 72,000 to Rs. 196,000
