Best Laptops For MBA

Many a times we come across certain questions on our Facebook group. “Which are the best laptops for MBA?” “Is MacBook important for an MBA?”, “Should I buy an iPhone if I’m going to a B-school?” etcetera etcetera. A few days back, Dhruv Jhalani, 99.31 percentiler in CAT and also a student of iQuanta ran to the office, worried, with the same question. “My interviews for B-schools are done” he said. “Now, all I need is a laptop for MBA to use in my college. What should I buy?”

This is Dhruv Jhalani’s CAT 2021 scorecard. He asked us to blur out his picture but we didn’t because why not?

This question coming from a 99 percentiler intrigued the iQuanta’s research team and they vigorously explored the entire market to find out the best laptops for MBA. The conclusion derived was rather astonishing. Following is the list of Top 50 B-schools in India and the devices that you’re supposed to buy for these colleges. Make sure that you do not take any other device other than the ones mentioned here else your admissions would be cancelled.

Best Laptops For Category 1 B-Schools

These premium B-schools of India require a premium device. So, the best laptops for MBA from these B-Schools is a MacBook. And also make sure that it is a top notch one like the Apple MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max Chip macOS Monterey Laptop. This is going to cost around 3.5 lakh. Only then are you eligible to study in one of these B-schools.

Best Laptops For Category 2 B-Schools

For this category of B-schools, you’ll be needing a less premium device like the Dell New XPS 9310 Intel i5-1135G7. This will cost somewhere between 1.1- 1.4 lakh.

Best Laptops For Category 3 B-Schools

For this third category of B-schools, you can go further down to buying an HP device. The HP ProBook 400 Series would be a very good choice for these B-schools. These will cost you around 80K. Just remember the importance of these devices as without these, the B-school societies won’t accept you.
