It has similar spec to my current broken laptop. Instead of a i5, it comes with an i7 8550U, 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage. It is a renewed product, by the way. And it goes for around ₹24,000. Honestly, I feel like it is too expensive, considering how there are better spec laptops available.

I don't know how to translate that price to my local currency but it's a nice machine that I'd certainly consider if the deal was good. Around here, maybe 300 USD or a bit more.

Well Rs. 24000 is right about 280 USD, so yes, that's a very good deal, better than the "deals" done in my country, where for a similarly specced (well, with 16GB RAM) T480 they (scalpers, enthusiasts) are asking ~450-550€, while only the i5 models are around 220-300€.
