I don't have much information about the course, other than that she is studying AI. She requires a laptop and not a desktop. I believe a good graphics card is essential.

Budget is around 80k max. Open to buy online. No specific brand preference. Should be reliable and last at least 4 years.

Please suggest.
 
I would sugeest waiting for a few more months atleast till end of 2024, since new CPU-NPU with 40-50 tops are still being released. Also these are new models. They won't be available in India asap and priced heavily. The budget wont be enough, I guess.
 
I think its better to buy computing power in google collab and she will be probably running most of her codes there. Running Ai models in personal pc's is not that practical because either google free tier collab will run it or you need a dedicated work station from the institute.
Else, any Nvidia GPU will do.
 
@?dOuBtFiRe? Thank you. I doubt they will wait till year end. Will have to look for the best of whatever is available right now.

@mantheman and @roadrash99 Thank you. That changes everything. If it is impractical to use a big budget laptop, I'll suggest that she go for a decent lightweight laptop in the 40k-50k range.

Mostly small models only are run locally, good for learning. For the rest, it is cloud/college computers only.

Legion 5 Pro is excellent value in this range.

If you can bump up (a big bump up), Zephyrus G14 (brilliant all-in-one!) or Legion Slim 7 Pro. Lenovo has a very good ASS.
