Lenovo LOQ — i5 12450HX, RTX 2050 4GB, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD
- This is what I personally use (bought offline from Lenovo Store in March 2025).
- Gaming, coding, Video editing, it can handle all
- Battery life ~ 2 hrs while performing normal tasks
That said do your own research based on your branch and budget before committing to a laptop
Alpino Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunchy
I like the crunchy texture that's why I prefer this.
NOTE:
Just hide it from your friends or you'll also have to say goodbye to this peanut butter in 5-6 days.
Nivia Basketball
Best budget basketball out there.
But this one lasts only about 6 months of regular use and then you have to buy a new one.
Not the most durable option but gets the job done.
Nivia Engraver Basketball
If you want something that lasts 2–3 years and you're serious about the game, go with this.
NOTE:
I haven't bought it personally, but several players I've played with swear by it.
Samsung Wired Earphones — EHS64
Worth every rupee.
Buy from an offline store if you can counterfeits are common online.
Expect about 1 – 1.5 years of lifespan. Excellent sound for the price.
OnePlus Pad Lite
Bought it for my siblings, for their online lectures and a bit of YouTube.
In college won't be much use for this tablet, but if you want a budget tablet for your online classes, then just go for it.
NOTE:
Currently using it for the last 1 month [June 2026].
Asian Sports Shoes
I'm using it for running purpose only. My only reason apart from running to buy this shoe was for its affordable price.
Bought mine in January 2026 and they're still going strong.
Campus Sports Running Shoes
Another solid option for general use and running.
I bought these alongside the Asian shoes. Works well for regular campus wear too, not just sports. A reliable pair to alternate with.
boAt BassHeads 100 — Wired Earphones
If Samsung isn't your preference, this is the next best budget wired option.
I've used both personally both are great for their price. Try to buy offline to avoid fakes.
Nothing Ear (Buds) Pro 2 — Wireless
One of the best wireless earbuds I've personally used.
Great ANC, clean design, and solid battery life. A step up when you're ready to invest in wireless audio.
Yogabar 26g High Protein Oats — Dark Chocolate
Currenlty I'm using this chocolate oats for the last 3 months and I find it quite satisfying. If you consume like 40gm/1 scoop everyday the it will last for almost a month.
TIP: Buy 500m milk from Amul Canteen/Shopping complex and you are good to go!
Wipro Garnet Table Lamp
Bought it in the month of January 2026.
- Wired, no battery needed
- Range of adjustable brightness
- Can be used both as desk and bedside lamp.
Nike Basketball Shoes
Another solid option want to spend a bit more.
- It will last for almost 3-4 years
- And ofcourse it has excellent grip and support
NOTE:
Do not use these for running; they should only be worn on the court.
