If you were looking to buy a gaming laptop during this festive season, then you’re in luck. This is the best time to pick up a gaming laptop considering all the deals and discounts available across all ecommerce platforms. To that end, we’ve compiled a list of the best gaming laptop deals under Rs. 60,000 during this festive season. We have tested all of the laptops in this list, and vouch for their performance, and we’ve even thrown in a laptop or two that are below the Rs. 50,000 mark for those who are on an even tighter budget. Without further ado, let’s get to the laptops!
Festival Price: ₹54,990
We start things off with this HP Victus 15, which comes with a Ryzen 5 5600H paired with the AMD Radeon RX6500M. While we would personally suggest you go for the 16GB variant, if you’re on an especially tight budget, you can go for the 8GB variant and grab this laptop for under Rs. 50,000!
This combination of the Ryzen 5 5600H and the AMD Radeon RX6500M has consistently outperformed the NVIDIA GTX 1650 and Intel processor combination during our testing. It’s even on par with and even better than the RTX 2050 in some cases, which makes this a great deal especially for under Rs. 50,000. Other than that, you also get a FHD (1080p) IPS panel panel with a refresh rate of 144Hz.
Festival Price: ₹56,990
The second laptop on our list features an Intel processor and NVIDIA GPU. The MSI GF63 Thin is MSI’s budget gaming laptop lineup, and considering the price this is definitely as budget as it gets, especially for an RTX 3050 gaming laptop. While the RTX 3050 onboard has a fairly low TGP, you should still get good performance on most modern AAA titles in low to medium settings with ease @1080p. Competitive titles like Valorant and CSGO will give you north of 100 FPS when optimised, and even older titles like GTA V can run on Ultra settings. If you’re looking for a budget RTX 3050 laptop, then you can start with this, but if you’ve got a slightly higher budget, consider some of the laptops further below in this list.
Festival Price: ₹57,990
Next, we have another laptop from MSI in the MSI Bravo 15, which has consistently been a top performer in our budget gaming laptop testing. This variant features a Ryzen 7 5800H, which is more powerful than the processor on the HP Victus 15 above. That is paired with the same AMD Radeon RX6500M graphics card. This laptop also comes with a FHD IPS panel with a refresh rate of 144Hz.
We’ve already established that the AMD + AMD combo performs great, especially in the budget category of gaming laptops, and that still holds true with this MSI Bravo 15 as well. You will easily get good frames at low to medium settings on modern AAA titles with this gaming laptop. While this variant is easily in the sub Rs. 60,000 category, there is a sub Rs. 50,000 variant of the MSI Bravo 15 as well, with a weaker RX5500M GPU.
Festival Price: ₹59,990
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is the priciest laptop in our list coming in at Rs. 59,990. For that, you get an 11th gen Intel Core i5-11400H, which is the same as the MSI GF63 Thin above. You also have the same GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050. However, while the specs are the same on paper, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15’s RTX 3050 has a much higher TGP than the MSI GF63 Thin on this list. At almost double the TGP, you will get a lot better performance on this RTX 3050 as compared to the GF63 Thin for approximately Rs. 4,000 more. This does not mean that games will run terribly on the GF63 Thin, just that you will get more FPS on this laptop so if you’re budget constrained you can safely go for the cheaper option.
Festival Price: ₹57,990
The Acer Aspire 7 gaming laptop launched just recently during this festive season, and as such features the latest processor of any laptop in this list. The 12th gen Intel Core i5-12450H is paired with an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU making this the most powerful combination of specs in this list of gaming laptops under Rs. 60,000. What’s interesting is that the Aspire series doesn’t usually come with 144Hz displays, but this laptop does. You also get a Thunderbolt 4 port on this laptop, which is rare in this price range.
