Game On: Best Gaming Laptops Under ₹60,000

Not too long ago, if you were looking for a gaming laptop that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, unfortunately, you were going to have to make some pretty serious compromises. Laptops that could barely deliver acceptable visuals, screens that simply weren't that impressive, and battery life that simply wouldn't last through a single session of gaming were just the way it was.

However, all of that has changed. AMD has introduced both Ryzen 7000 processors and H-series chips from Intel's 13th and 14th generations, while Nvidia's RTX 20 & 30 series graphics cards have literally opened up the whole price point. We can now find laptops that actually deliver laptops with great performance, great visuals, and great battery life.

After comparing all the specs and getting an overall value for money, we have put together the top 10 gaming laptops that you can get under 60K, right here in India. Each of these 10 gaming laptops has been chosen by us based on how well it will play, how it looks, and how well it will really work in real life.

Price: 58,490 Rupees

Among gaming laptops priced below ₹60,000, the HP Victus 15 ranks the highest in terms of the overall balance between the performance it provides in gaming as well as editing and multitasking. With a Ryzen 5 8645HS CPU and an RTX 2050 GPU, it runs everything smoothly. A combination of 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 144 Hz, 300-nit display driving it provides a smooth visual experience with good detail. Comes with dual M.2 SSD slots, allowing for expansion experience.

Why it’s good:

Infinix GT Book (RTX 3050 6GB) – Best GPU upgrade

The 16-inch display is 100% sRGB, providing company colors for design or video work. The hardware combination with a 70 Wh battery provides up to 8 hours for any light, portable use.

 Lenovo LOQ 15 IAX9 - The Best for Upgradability

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 continues to be one of the best values on the market for under ₹50,000. You get a Ryzen 5 7535HS processor, an RTX 2050 GPU, and 16 GB DDR5 RAM for seamless gaming and multitasking. The system has solid thermals and a quiet cooling system that can make all the difference in a long gaming session. 120 Hz to 144 Hz display refresh rates create smooth frames, although refresh rates can make things a little less smooth sometimes. Battery life is decent for this class of devices, with about 5 to 6 hours of use.

So why's it so great?

• It's got some serious cooling to keep your machine running smoothly, no matter what you throw at it

 Colorful Evol P15 - The Laptop with the Best Display

Price: 56,990 Rupees

The Colorful Evol P15 is currently the only laptop under 60,000 Rupees that comes with a QHD 165Hz display - that's right, 165HZ on a display that's super sharp and detailed.
It's powered by a Core i7-12650H and an RTX 4050 GPU - that's a serious combo for gaming and creative work.
And at just 1.7 kg, it's incredibly light and portable.

Here's why it's a winner:

• That QHD display is just stunning, with a silky smooth 165Hz refresh rate

• The RTX 4050 is more than capable of handling any high-end gaming you throw at it

• It's super light and easy to chuck in your bag

The not-so-great bits:

• Don't expect a lot of support from Colorful in terms of after-sales service in India

• Battery life is a bit of a disappointment - you're looking at around 6 to 7 hours, tops

Perfect for: anyone who's all about display quality and gaming performance and doesn't mind carrying a bit of extra weight for the sake of visual clarity

 Acer Aspire Lite AL15G-52 - The All-Rounder Laptop

Price: 57,490 Rupees

The Acer Aspire Lite is just the ticket for anyone who wants a laptop that's perfect for getting the job done - and having a bit of fun on the side.
It's got a Core i5-12450H processor, 16GB RAM, and an RTX 2050 - that's a seriously capable setup for those times when you need to multitask or do some casual gaming.

So why's it so great?

• They include 16GB RAM by default - how nice is that?

• It's light enough to chuck in your bag and take on the go

• It handles all the tasks you throw at it with ease - and still manages to play some pretty smooth games

Room for improvement:

• That 60Hz display isn't ideal for esports gaming, sadly

• It's made from plastic, which isn't the sturdiest material around

Perfect for: pros and students alike - anyone who needs a laptop that's up to the task, day in and day out

 HP Victus 15-fb3001AX - Best battery life under 60,000 rupees

Price: 59,990 rupees

Think of the HP Victus 15-fb3001AX as the battery-life champion. With a powerful Ryzen 5 7535HS and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 and a battery that packs 70 Wh of power, this thing just keeps going and going.

So why do we love it?

• Easy to get through long study sessions or workdays without needing to recharge

• HP's cooling system is just as reliable as you'd expect from a major brand

• The keyboard's comfy and the build quality's solid - a laptop that feels like it's built to last

But don't get things all rose-tinted just yet:

• That 250-nit display is hardly going to light up the darkest room

• Sadly the keyboard doesn't have any RGB lights to play with

In a nutshell, this laptop's ideal for:

Anyone looking for a gaming laptop that'll just keep going and going without breaking the bank

A good-enough option (just a little over 60,000)

The MSI Katana GF66 – still a long-term choice

Price: 68,441 rupees - we've double-checked to make sure that's the going rate

The MSI Katana GF66 is still a worthwhile investment, even if it's stretching your budget just a little too far. You get a Core i7-12650H, a beefy NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 and a 2-year warranty to put your mind at ease.

What sets it apart:

• A 2-year warranty which just gives us all a sense of security

• Strong performance and some clever cooling tricks up its sleeve

• The build quality's solid , and the thermals are looking good too

So is it for you?

Only if you're willing to stretch your budget a bit - this is a bit pricier than average, but it's well worth it

Quick comparison

Final thoughts

The affordable gaming laptops segment growing on the price point under rupees 60k has developed. Genuine performance, bright display and decent thermals can now be had, without exceeding the budget set to buy a gaming laptop

That said, remember the following before you buy:
1. Take 16GB RAM, 8GB RAM is insufficient. Ideally, you want a dual-channel option.
2. Bright display of at least 120Hz refresh is a necessity.
3. Look for upgradability to extend the life of your purchase for years into the future.

These gaming laptops show that gaming good enough to be playable with the exception of outrageous prices, is finally possible. With all this aside, if you are a student, casual gamer, or a creator, there is a reasonable option to buy with a choice under rupees 60k. You can even leave all of the above aside and just know you will get a decent and good laptop below rupees 60k.
