![A person working on a thin-and-light laptop while sitting on steps - the class of machine this Croma laptop price list for August 2026 covers]()
Croma listed 66 laptops when we read its catalogue on 18 August 2026, from Rs. 46,990 to Rs. 2,78,990, with a median of Rs. 1,08,990. Exactly one of them is under Rs. 50,000.
The badges are a brand fingerprint rather than a guide: every Apple machine is at exactly 7 per cent off, while Windows laptops run to 51. With only 7 of the 66 models carrying a rating, the specification steps - 512GB from Rs. 50,990, 16GB of RAM from Rs. 61,490 - are what you should be shopping on.

The Short Answer: One Laptop Under Rs. 50,000, and a Median of Rs. 1,08,990
Croma listed 66 laptops when we read its catalogue on 18 August 2026, from Rs. 46,990 to Rs. 2,78,990. The median machine costs Rs. 1,08,990, which is the number that tells you what kind of shop this is: exactly one model in the entire read sits under Rs. 50,000, and 46 of the 66 are above Rs. 80,000.
The discount badges split cleanly by brand. All six Apple machines are at exactly 7 per cent off. The Windows laptops' median badge is 23.5 per cent and the deepest is 51, on a Lenovo IdeaPad. And there is almost nothing to check them against: only 7 of the 66 models carry any rating at all.
Where the Catalogue Sits by Price
| Price band | How many | What is there |
|---|
| Under Rs. 50,000 | 1 model | Acer Aspire 3, Ryzen 3, 8GB / 256GB SSD |
| Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 79,999 | 19 models | Entry Core 3 and Ryzen 3/5 thin-and-lights from DELL, ASUS, HP, Acer, Lenovo |
| Rs. 80,000 - Rs. 1,29,999 | about half the catalogue | Core i5 and Ryzen 5/7 machines, the first gaming laptops, MacBook Neo |
| Rs. 1,30,000 and above | the top third | Core i7 and Ultra 7 gaming laptops, MacBook Air and Pro |
The Cheapest Six
| Model | Price | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| Acer Aspire 3, Ryzen 3 5425U, 8GB/256GB | Rs. 46,990 | Rs. 79,999 | 41% |
| DELL DC 15250, Core 3, 8GB/512GB | Rs. 50,990 | Rs. 77,018 | 34% |
| ASUS Vivobook 15, Core 3, 8GB/512GB | Rs. 53,490 | Rs. 84,990 | 37% |
| HP 15-fc0552AU, Ryzen 3, 8GB/512GB | Rs. 57,990 | Rs. 77,989 | 26% |
| ASUS Vivobook 15, Core 3, 16GB/512GB | Rs. 61,490 | Rs. 92,990 | 34% |
| DELL Inspiron 15, Core i5 13th Gen, 8GB | Rs. 65,499 | Rs. 85,990 | 24% |
Note the specification floor rather than the price floor. The Rs. 46,990 Acer is the only machine here with a 256GB SSD; from Rs. 50,990 upward everything carries 512GB, and 16GB of RAM arrives at Rs. 61,490 with the ASUS Vivobook 15. If you are buying at the bottom of this catalogue, those two steps matter more than the badge does.
Every Apple Machine Is Discounted by Exactly 7 Per Cent
| Model | Price | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| MacBook Neo, 13in, A18 Pro, 8GB/512GB | Rs. 83,490 | Rs. 89,900 | 7% |
| MacBook Air, 13.6in, M5, 16GB/512GB | Rs. 1,39,490 | Rs. 1,49,900 | 7% |
| MacBook Air, 13.6in, M5, 16GB/1TB | Rs. 1,72,990 | Rs. 1,85,900 | 7% |
| MacBook Air, 13.6in, M5, 24GB/1TB | Rs. 1,95,490 | Rs. 2,09,900 | 7% |
| MacBook Pro, 14.2in, M5 Pro, 24GB/1TB | Rs. 2,78,990 | Rs. 2,99,900 | 7% |
Six Apple laptops, six identical badges. That is Apple's pricing policy showing through a retailer's page rather than anything Croma decided: the company controls its list prices tightly and permits very little movement, so what you see is a uniform trim off the same MRP at every authorised seller.
It also means the comparison across brands cannot be made on the badge column at all. A MacBook Air at 7 per cent off and a Lenovo IdeaPad at 51 per cent off are not telling you which is better value; they are telling you which company sets a realistic MRP.
The Deepest Badges Are All Lenovo
| Model | Price | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH10, Core i5, 16GB | Rs. 90,990 | Rs. 1,84,990 | 51% |
| Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRU8, Core i3 13th Gen | Rs. 69,990 | Rs. 1,29,490 | 46% |
| Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9, Core i5 13th Gen gaming | Rs. 1,26,990 | Rs. 2,30,290 | 45% |
| Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14ILL10, Core Ultra 5 | Rs. 1,28,990 | Rs. 2,26,690 | 43% |
Read the stated MRP, not the percentage. The 51 per cent badge above is calculated from an MRP of Rs. 1,84,990 on a Core i5 thin-and-light - a figure no comparable machine in this catalogue sells anywhere near. The same laptop at Rs. 90,990 sits among Core i5 machines priced Rs. 85,000 to Rs. 95,000 with badges half the size.
How we read these prices, and what is not in them
All 66 models, prices, stated MRPs, discount percentages and rating counts on this page were read on 18 August 2026 from Croma's own catalogue across two queries - laptop and gaming laptop. Band counts, medians and the brand-level badge comparison are our own arithmetic over those rows.
What is not in these figures: extended warranty, accidental damage cover, Microsoft Office or antivirus bundles, exchange value for an old machine, no-cost EMI arrangements and bank-card discounts, all of which Croma applies at checkout and any of which can move the final price by more than the difference between two models here. We have not switched on, benchmarked or typed on any laptop on this page, so we make no claim about performance, build, thermals, screen quality or battery life; processor, memory, storage and display specifications are quoted from Croma's own product data. Only 7 of the 66 models carry any rating, so there is no usable crowd evidence on this aisle - cross-check a shortlisted model on a marketplace with a larger review base before buying.
What to Buy at Each Budget
- Rs. 46,990: Acer Aspire 3, Ryzen 3. The only laptop under Rs. 50,000 in the catalogue - and the only one with a 256GB SSD, which is the compromise you are making.
- Around Rs. 61,490: ASUS Vivobook 15, Core 3, 16GB. The cheapest 16GB machine here. On a laptop meant to last five years, 16GB of RAM matters more than a processor generation.
- Rs. 65,499: DELL Inspiron 15, Core i5 13th Gen. The cheapest Core i5 in the read, at a 24 per cent badge - shallow, which on this page is a mildly good sign about the MRP.
- Rs. 83,490: Apple MacBook Neo. The cheapest way into macOS here, at the same 7 per cent every Apple machine carries.
- Gaming from Rs. 76,990. Thirty-five of the 66 models are gaming laptops, running to Rs. 1,89,990 - so more than half this catalogue is aimed at a buyer who wants a discrete GPU.
- Price the extras before you commit. Warranty extensions, exchange value and card offers move a laptop bill by tens of thousands, and none of them appear in the prices on this page.
Zoutons Verdict
Croma's laptop shelf is not a budget shelf. One machine is under Rs. 50,000, the median is Rs. 1,08,990, and more than half the catalogue is gaming laptops. If you want a basic Windows machine for study or office work, your choice here is roughly six models between Rs. 46,990 and Rs. 65,499, and the specification steps within that range - 256GB to 512GB, 8GB to 16GB - decide it rather than the badge.
Ignore the discount column when comparing brands. Every Apple laptop here is at exactly 7 per cent and the deepest Windows badge is 51 per cent, calculated from an MRP of Rs. 1,84,990 on a Core i5 thin-and-light. With only 7 of 66 models carrying a rating, the honest advice is to shortlist on specification and price here, then cross-check the model somewhere with a real review base before paying.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest laptop at Croma?
In our read of Croma's catalogue on 18 August 2026, exactly one laptop was priced under Rs. 50,000: an Acer Aspire 3 with an AMD Ryzen 3 5425U, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD at Rs. 46,990, listed at 41 per cent off a stated MRP of Rs. 79,999. The next cheapest were a DELL DC 15250 with a Core 3 processor and 512GB SSD at Rs. 50,990 and an ASUS Vivobook 15 at Rs. 53,490. It is worth being clear about what the Rs. 46,990 machine gives up: it is the only laptop in the entire 66-model read with a 256GB SSD, and 256GB fills quickly once Windows and Office are on it. For about Rs. 4,000 more you move to 512GB, and at Rs. 61,490 you reach 16GB of RAM. On a machine you intend to keep for four or five years, those two steps are the decision, not the discount badge.
Why are Apple laptops only 7 per cent off at Croma?
Because Apple sets its list prices tightly and allows retailers very little room, so the discount you see is a uniform trim rather than a negotiated markdown. In our read, all six Apple machines at Croma - the MacBook Neo at Rs. 83,490, three MacBook Air configurations at Rs. 1,39,490, Rs. 1,72,990 and Rs. 1,95,490, and a MacBook Pro at Rs. 2,78,990 - carried a badge of exactly 7 per cent. By contrast the Windows laptops in the same read had a median badge of 23.5 per cent and a maximum of 51. That does not make the Windows machines better value; it means their manufacturers state higher MRPs. The practical consequence is that on Apple you should shop for the checkout extras - exchange value, card offers, no-cost EMI, student pricing where it applies - because the listed price will be much the same wherever you look.
Is Croma a good place to buy a laptop?
It depends on what you want from the purchase. The catalogue is skewed upmarket: of the 66 models we read on 18 August 2026, one was under Rs. 50,000, nineteen were between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 80,000 and 46 were above Rs. 80,000, with 35 of the total being gaming laptops. So if you want a basic study or office machine, the choice here is narrow. What a physical chain does offer is the ability to see the keyboard and screen before paying, an exchange quote for an old machine, and a service counter you can walk into - none of which shows up in a price comparison. The gap in the listings is evidence: only 7 of 66 models carried any customer rating, so there is nothing on the page to check a model against. We would shortlist on specification here and read reviews elsewhere before buying.
How much RAM and storage should a laptop have in 2026?
Judged against what this catalogue actually stocks: 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is the sensible floor, and Croma's own shelf agrees with that. Only one machine in the 66-model read shipped with a 256GB SSD - the Rs. 46,990 Acer at the very bottom - and everything from Rs. 50,990 upward carried 512GB. Sixteen gigabytes of RAM appears from Rs. 61,490 with an ASUS Vivobook 15, which is roughly Rs. 14,500 above the entry price for a specification that will keep the machine usable considerably longer. Many modern thin-and-light laptops solder their memory to the board, so it cannot be upgraded later, which makes the RAM decision at purchase permanent in a way the storage decision often is not. We have not tested any machine here; this is a reading of the catalogue's own specifications and prices.
Do Croma exchange offers and card discounts work on laptops?
Yes, and on a purchase of this size they matter far more than the listing badge. Croma routinely runs bank-card discounts, exchange bonuses against an old laptop and no-cost EMI on this category, and those apply at checkout rather than to the price on the product page - which is exactly why a MacBook at 7 per cent off can end up a better deal than a Windows laptop at 45 per cent off. We did not test any code, card offer or exchange quote for this page and will not quote a saving. What the read gives you is the baseline to beat: Rs. 46,990 for the cheapest laptop, Rs. 61,490 for the cheapest 16GB machine, Rs. 65,499 for the cheapest Core i5, Rs. 76,990 for the cheapest gaming laptop and Rs. 83,490 for the cheapest MacBook. Price any warranty extension or software bundle separately, because those are sold at the counter and are not in these figures.
Prices & codes last verified: 18 August 2026
Every model, price, stated MRP, discount percentage and rating count on this page was read on 18 August 2026 from Croma's own catalogue across two queries - laptop and gaming laptop - which returned 66 models carrying a price and an MRP. Prices change frequently and without notice, so re-check before you pay. Band counts, medians and the brand-level badge comparison are our own arithmetic over those rows, and this is a sample from two queries rather than an audit of Croma's full range. An MRP is the retailer's stated figure and we have not verified that any laptop here was ever sold at it; the observation that Apple machines all carry a 7 per cent badge while Windows laptops reach 51 is arithmetic over these rows and not a claim about any manufacturer's intent. Listed prices exclude extended warranty, accidental damage cover, software bundles, exchange value for an old machine, no-cost EMI arrangements and bank-card discounts, all of which are applied at the counter or at checkout and can change the amount you pay substantially. Processor, memory, storage, display and graphics specifications are quoted from Croma's own product data and are reported rather than verified; we have not switched on, benchmarked, typed on or measured any laptop on this page and make no claim about performance, thermals, screen quality, keyboard feel or battery life. Only 7 of the 66 models carried any customer rating, so nothing here should be read as crowd-verified. Croma is Tata's own electronics retail chain. Zoutons may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page; it does not change what you pay, and nothing here was reviewed or approved by Croma.
