Since the original article was written, laptops have undergone a paradigm shift in computing power. Though dual-core laptops were around at that point, they were expensive and out of reach of everyone but well-heeled users and enthusiasts. However since then Intel has introduced two different generations of mobile processors. This has driven the price of dual-core laptops down drastically. Keeping these factors in mind, we decided to check out if on a strict budget of Rs. 40,000, we could find 3 dual-core laptops with good specifications and from good manufacturers. Please note that the 3 laptops we have chosen below are the base models inclusive of all taxes. Their prices can cross Rs. 40,000 if system parts are changed or swapped.
