thanks buddy. 3 questions :

1. it says - "Memory - 8 GB LPDDR5-5500 MHz RAM (onboard)" means soldered RAM so no upgrade. Also, the description below (Technical Details) says - "Maximum Memory Supported ‎8 GB"

2. anything with intel? might increase the budget if its ok.

3. anything under 20-25000 for just typing work?

1. HP 14 had a soldered RAM & 1 free RAM slot

2. Why buy something inferior? With the budget increase to buy i5, you can get Ryzen 5, which will be my pick

3. Don't recommend anything because of poor build, TN panel & other specs:

This has RAM slots & a 2.5" slot.

thanks buddy. the 3rd question is for someone else who needs a basic cheap laptop for typing work & simple Internet work only which will be kept in office and handled by 5-6 people.
any idea about refurbished / amazon refurbished / dell renewed sold on amazon that has some warranty?

how is this one?
"amazon.in/HP-15-6-inches-Micro-Edge-Anti-Glare-15s-eq2182AU/dp/B0B4N77Y34/

HP 15 has TN panel at 40k, last I checked.

Refurbished is a strict no, better get that cheap Acer laptop under 30k

ThinkPad E14 would be an easy pick for me
