Like most laptops on this list, it comes with a Core i5 (5th Gen) processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, a 14-inch display, and a long-lasting battery.

Price-wise, the HP Elitebook 840 G2 retails for KES. 19,000 and KES. 18,000 if you buy two or more.

To this point, this is the cheapest laptop on our list and a performer in the same measure.

4. HP EliteBook 840 G2, Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD

For only KES. 19,000, you can get this machine wholesale and/or buy it in retail for KES. 20,000 only.

Other than the standard 8GB RAM that most laptops now come with, you will get 256GB SSD storage, a 14-inch display, and an Intel Core i5 processor.

These specifications make the HP EliteBook 840 G2 easily a high-performance machine that can serve students, creatives, and business people better than other machines in its price range.

5. HP EliteBook 820 G2, Core i5 Processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD.

The few machines that we have sold with these specifications have been to photo editors, university students, and budding coders.

This means it is one of the performance laptops in this price range. And you can easily use it for heavy tasks.

It retails for KES. 18,000, and you can still get it for KES. 16,000 if you go the wholesale route.

Either way, you will get it for under KES. 20K regardless of purchasing in bulk or just buying one.

This is another budget-friendly laptop in the HP family that not only offers good speed for the Celeron processor but also reliability for multitaskers.

It comes with 4GB of RAM, 128GB of SSD, and an 11.6-inch display.

For KES. 17,000 only, you will get it in retail and KES. 15,000 if you are buying more.

8. Lenovo Yoga 11e (7th Gen) i3, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD

 

And if you don’t fancy HP laptops, here’s a cheaper Lenovo for you. The Lenovo Yoga 11e (7th Gen).

With a core i3 processor, it provides decent performance for everyday tasks like web browsing, word processing, and lightweight multitasking.

It also rotates all the way, making it as much a tablet as it is a laptop.

Not forgetting that it comes with a 128GB SSD but can easily be upgraded to your preferred storage limit.

If you buy today, you will get this Laptop at KES. 15,000 only. The current retail price is KES. 18,000, but other dealers are selling them for as much as KES. 19,999.

9. Lenovo Yoga 11e (Pentium) 4 GB RAM, 128GB SSD

Though the Pentium version is less powerful than the core i3 version, the Yoga 11e (Pentium) is just as good. And if you are hell-bent on saving as much as KES. 500, then you should just get it.

Its wholesale price is KES. 15,000, and it retails for KES. 17,000.

Like its core i3 counterpart, it comes with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD.

Not forgetting that it’s both lightweight and fast for laptops in its class.

10. Lenovo Yoga 11e 7th Gen, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD

This one retails for KES. 19,000, and it is just as fast as it is lightweight.

The Lenovo Yoga 11e can be used for light creative work, but it can also handle heavier workloads than the Pentium model.

11. Lenovo  ThinkPad x240 (Core i5, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD)

An alternative to the Yoga 11e 7th Gen is the Lenovo ThinkPad x240. It comes with 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard disk.

Unlike the Yoga 11e, the Lenovo ThinkPad x240 is powered by the Intel Core i5 processor. This processor allows it to handle multiple tasks such as document editing, browsing, and streaming simultaneously.

With a KES. 20K and below for a laptop, I’d recommend the x240 any day.

You can get it for KES. 19,000 only from our store in Kisumu. Garissa Lodge, Glass Box Building-shop G14.

12. Lenovo ThinkPad x240 (Core i3, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD)

 

This and the latter are just the same laptops. The only difference is, it is powered by a core i3 processor, and it retails for a much lower price.

Get it for KES. 17,000 only at our store.

13. DELL Latitude 7280 (Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 6th GEN)

And if you fancy neither the Lenovo brand nor the HP brand, then my next recommendation is, you try Dell.

With only KES. 19,500, you can get the Dell Latitude 7280 laptop.

Some of the specifications on this laptop that make it a reliable machine for everyday tasks are:

• It is powered by a Core i5 (6th Gen) processor

14. DELL Latitude 5440 (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD + HDD)

This laptop has two different variations. One with a protruded back and another that’s flat and presentable.

If you fancy aesthetics over size, then the sleek one would suffice. Otherwise, they are the same.

Both of them have a core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 SSD. HDD expandable.

The Dell Latitude 5440 retails for KES. 18,500 only.

15. DELL 3190, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD

This, we recommend for students and professionals who do presentations all the time. It is an x360 laptop that’s both tough and sleek.

It is a touch screen and it comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage

It’s currently retailing for KES. 18,000 only.

16. DELL 3300, Core i3, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD And 13.6 Display
