Abstract : This research work presents a granular analysis of the contemporary laptop market, focusing on the intersection of hardware configurations, pricing strategies, and consumer satisfaction. By examining a curated dataset of 48 distinct laptop models, the study investigates how technical specifications including processor architecture, RAM capacity, storage media, and display technology influence market positioning and user perception. The scope of this analysis covers a broad economic spectrum, with unit prices ranging from ₹23,990 to ₹81,990, providing a comprehensive view of both entry-level and mid-to-high-tier segments. Utilizing a combination of data visualization and statistical inference, the paper quantifies the relationship between hardware utility and customer ratings (ranging from 3.5 to 4.7).

Keywords : Data Visualization, Processor Architecture, RAM Capacity, Storage Media, Display Technology, Economic Spectrum, Statistical Inference.
