The gadgets we will be covering here are – Smartphones, Laptops, Headphones, Gaming Console, Fitness Bands and Tablets.

Before that let me make it clear that none of the products are paid promotion/endorsement/sponsored. Every conclusion is based on our personal experience and response from users using those products.

Not everyone is able to buy flagships or high end devices so we widened our list by choosing the best in every price range i.e. Budget devices, mid-range and Flagships.

Everyone loves their smartphones, so we will start our top list in the smartphone category. We will cover all price ranges like budget phones, mid-range and Flagships in increasing order of their price.

Google Pixel 2XL [Under 45k or $650]

• Display – 6.0 inch QHD

• Storage – 64/128GB
• CPU – SD 835 (10nm)
• GPU – 540
• Camera – 12.2MP (Rear), 8MP (Front)
• Battery – 3520mAh

The camera of Google phones is best in market. Their single lens camera outperforms even dual lens camera phones like Apple, Samsung and everyone!

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ (Under 60000 or $850)

• Display – 5.8 inch QHD

The above specs are of S9 and it is one of the most beautiful looking phone in the market. Its elder sibling carries a little more features. The additional things S9 plus carries are dual 12MP camera, bigger display of 6.2 inches, 6GB RAM and battery capacity of 3500mAh and is only $100 more expensive.

Now you must be wondering why no iPhones in the list? Well our answer is simple if you want a performance packed phone like best in the market then go for iPhone as every year in tests iPhones outperform other smartphones in the market. We even found in tests that their year old devices outperform some top Android phones. Camera king throne is unstable sometimes Samsung sits, the other day iPhone and then comes the single lens Pixel phones which outperforms dual lens setup of iPhone or every phone in the market. Pixel is the king photography in the smartphone market followed by iPhone and Samsung. Now don’t think that iPhone or Samsung is bad but the difference is extremely marginal.

Best laptops to buy in 2019

Now we move to Laptops, they have become integral part of our lives. Whether you are student or employee or even a non-techy guy you need to work or know computers. We will cover best laptops under price of 20k, 30k, 40k, 50k and under 70k.

HP 15q (Under 30000) with dedicated graphic card

We included this laptop because it has dedicated graphic cards as almost all of us love playing Games and some are also into videography or editing, so they need graphic card but lacks intelligent core processor (i processor). But it does not mean that AMD processors underperform. AMD processors only underperform in high end laptops as Intel is more efficient and performs well but in budget segment AMD processors are no less than Intel. So you can always give a try to AMD in budget segment laptops but we don’t recommend this for high end or expensive laptops.

• 4GB DDR4 RAM
• 1TB HDD
• 2GB AMD Radeon 530 Graphic card

• Integrated graphics
• Windows 10 Operating System

HP 15 DS007TX (under 40000)

HP 15-15q-ds0010TU (Under 50000)

This is a truly performance packed laptop and with trust of HP but the sad part is it lacks dedicated graphic card.

• 6 Inch FHD display
• i5 8^th Gen Processor
• 8 GB RAM
• 1TB HDD
• Win 10 Home

HP 15g-br010TX (Under 70000)

• 8GB RAM
• 1TB HDD
• 4GB AMD RADEON 530
• Win 10 Home Operating System

Apple Macbook Air (Under 70000)

When it comes to performance and best user experience it’s tough to beat Apple. This device offers great performance and battery life. It is extremely light weight and thin (That is why Apple calls it Air).

• 13.3 inch HD display
• i5 processor
• 8GB RAM
• 128 GB SSD Hard disk
• Mac OS

This was our top choice in laptops in mentioned price range. We will keep updating this list with upcoming laptops if they offer better package than the above mentioned laptops.

Pro Tip – If you want a great performing laptop then better invest in Solid state drives technology hard disk than going for high end processors. SSD hard disks are expensive but exponentially improve performance of the laptop.

Best headphone under 1000 or $15
