Top-notch gaming laptops within INR 60,000 budget
Ready to discover the top gaming laptops for under ₹60k? Here's our expert rundown, jam-packed with affordable options for versatile gaming, whether you're a student, creative professional or hardcore gamer!
Infinix GT Book - ₹62,990
Infinix's GT Book offers RTX 4050 graphics at a mind-bending price point below 70 grand. It tips the scales at under 2 kg, perfect for those craving the heft of a bigger screen in a more portable package. This 16-inch laptop boasts an 120 Hz IPS display, delivering smooth triple-digit frames in Rainbow Six Siege, all while exporting a vibrant 100% sRGB palette for your Lightroom edits. The Ice-Storm cooling system, complete with three heat-pipes and rear exhausts, lets the laptop sustain 45 W CPU power consumption, with package temperatures hovering in the mid-80°C, keeping clock speeds steady. Plus, the 70 Wh battery keeps the party going, dishing out just over six hours of mixed browsing and video, an impressive feat for a 90 W GPU. You'll find HDMI 2.1, 2.5 GbE, and a USB-C port (supports DisplayPort and 100 W charging for your café escapades) tucked away in the rear I/O bar. Crafted to look dramatic yet built like a tank, the mech-inspired chassis minimizes flex under the keyboard deck. Just remember there's no spare SO-DIMM, so the 16 GB LPDDR5 has to last a lifetime!
HP Victus 15 - ₹62,990
HP's Victus 15 combines an aesthetic matured for business with essential gaming chops, making it the ideal multi-tasking laptop. Under the hood sits the Ryzen 5 5600H, teamed with an RTX 3050 (80 W boost) delivering 70 fps in Hogwarts Legacy at Medium settings, featuring fan noise rarely becoming a nuisance. The bright 15.6-inch 144 Hz IPS panel offers respectable contrast, albeit with only 60% sRGB coverage, making it a less-than-ideal choice for color-critical tasks. HP starts with 16 GB DDR4 dual-channel RAM, a rare P.C., and both slots remain upgradeable for 32 GB. The 70 Wh battery holds up for just under six hours of web work, larger than typical 52 Wh cells. The Victus 15 boasts a keyboard with 1.5 mm travel and a gentle white backlight, easy on the eyes during late-night gaming sessions. At 2.37 kg, this laptop strikes a fair balance of portability and performance. However, its plastic palm rest can show smudges after extended use.
Acer Nitro 5 - ₹57,990
Acer's Nitro 5 remains a safe bet for gamers prioritizing thermal headroom. With dual 90 mm fans and quad vents dissipating heat aggressively, temperature tops the WASD cluster at 40°C during a 20-round CS:GO session. The 12th-gen i5-12450H powers the 85 W RTX 3050 to reach 75 fps in Forza Horizon 5 on High and over 100 fps with DLSS Quality enabled. The 15.6-inch 144 Hz IPS panel is brighter than older Nitro generations at 320 nits, yet colors are somewhat muted with 65% sRGB coverage. Both the 512 GB PCIe 4.0 drive and a second M.2 slot await your storage upgrades. Battery life is sacrificed for cooling prowess, with the 57.5 Wh cell offering roughly 4.5 hours of web browsing. At 2.5 kg and equipped with a durable hinge and metal lid, the Nitro 5 is a capable travel companion suitable for extended gaming sessions.
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 - ₹62,990
The IdeaPad Gaming 3 boasts an 85 W RTX 3050, outmuscling most 60 W implementations. Its cooling solution employs a larger 110 mm intake and quad-heat-pipe layout from the previous Legion 5, ensuring hotspots stay below 42°C. Weighing only 2.32 kg and 24.9 mm thick, the IdeaPad offers a full-size RJ-45 for wired LAN (essential for dorm LAN-parties) and boasts a 15.6-inch panel covering 45% NTSC, offering fair brightness at 300 nits. Although the IdeaPad Gaming 3's screen struggles with color reproduction for creative work, it's perfect for students seeking upgrade flexibility, wired LAN, and an 85 W RTX 3050 for an excellent balance of performance and price.
These laptops, with their collection of cutting-edge technology, offer more than just gaming capabilities. The Infinix GT Book, priced at ₹62,990, seamlessly blends gaming performance, powered by RTX 4050 graphics, with versatile features like a 120 Hz IPS display and a 90 W GPU, making it a promising choice for gadget enthusiasts. On the other hand, HP's Victus 15, also priced at ₹62,990, combines the elegance of business aesthetics with gaming prowess, featuring an RTX 3050 GPU and a 144 Hz IPS panel, appealing to those seeking a device for both work and play.
