why laptops are expensive in india

 

Laptops are one of the most expensive items you can buy in India. One might wonder why; it's largely because these smartphones tend to be poorly made, and end up costing a ton for repairs or replacements.

If electronics manufacturers could work together to fix this problem and simplify the warranty process, we could see marked growth in their business and that of other businesses that depend on these devices.

Laptops are also more likely to break than most other devices, making repairs difficult and expensive.

They're also far more likely to have poor build quality, poor design, and very limited upgrade options. There's a lot of potential use-cases that they don't support, which end up costing a lot of money. For example, if you want to use your laptop for Linux or MacOS then you'll be buying a new machine.

The Indian IT industry is in an interesting position; our smartphones tend to be poorly made and unreliable due to their price tags being so low (compared with the rest of the world) but laptops are good enough quality that we stay loyal customers even though they are very expensive.

Laptops are also used for more complex and important tasks, such as creating documents, so a flawed design would be worse for us.

So, I'll try to explain why laptops are expensive in India and offer some ways that can help you save money on them. I'll begin with the pricing structure of smartphones and laptops in India, then move on to the reasons non-technical people might want one.

I'm going to assume that you're reading this because you might want one yourself; if you're buying it for someone else then it's a bit trickier. In that case, consider using this article as a guide for helping your loved ones get the best laptop for their needs.

For the purposes of this article, we'll be considering the price of a sixth-generation iPhone X – which is the most expensive smartphone Apple sells in India. This is obviously offset by operating system differences, but we'll ignore that to simplify things.

Please note that this article will not go into technical details such as processor speeds.

The comparison between iPhones and laptops will be compared to the MacBook Air, which is Apple's most expensive laptop.

This is likely to have a budget of more than $1,000, although it might be $500. More importantly, this will be the price for which you can get a warranty for a laptop with an Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM.

Let's compare this to the iPhone X. It has a starting price of $1,000 in India; it also has an Intel Core i5 processor with 8GB of RAM. This means you can get a warranty for your iPhone X while also buying a laptop.

You might be tempted to skip this part, but let's go through the math so I can explain why it's important.

But before we get there, let's consider why the MacBook Air is $1,000 in India. First of all, it uses a slower processor than most laptops; it has an Intel Core m3 processor with 4GB of RAM. All other laptops use an Intel Core i5 processor that comes with 8GB of RAM by default.
