Best Budget Gaming laptops under 1 Lakh in Nepal 2021

Are you thinking of getting a gaming laptop in Nepal, but confused on which one to get. Don’t Worry! We came across some amazing gaming laptops, especially in the budget segments. Gaming laptops are no longer remain exclusive for only those capable of paying a huge price. In fact, even at a reasonable cost, you can get a decent setup. So, what more, let’s look at the best gaming laptops you can currently buy in Nepal under the price tag of one Lakh.

In this list of a best budget gaming laptop, you should at least expect a Full HD display with a 60Hz refresh rate. Although, the panel might not produce accurate colors and is not ideal for professional graphic designers and colorists. In addition, under 1 lakh, you should be able to get enough horsepower to run the latest AAA games in medium settings at around 50-60fps. Here, you should be able to get either an 8th or 9th generation i5 H-series processor from Intel with 45W TDP. Similarly, on the graphics front, you should either get the GTX 1050, 1050Ti, or 1650 GPU. Since Nvidia GTX 1650 is the newer version, it is marginally faster than the other two.

7. HP Pavilion 15 Power

The cheapest budget gaming laptop on our list is the HP Pavilion 15 Power. It is a perfect combo of style and power, and that too at just the right price of just Rs. 85,000. Yup! That’s what best sums up this laptop. Hands down it is one of the best gaming laptops under 1 lakh in Nepal. And with its “Acid Green” accent, the HP Pavilion 15 Power is one of the coolest looking ones as well.

It is a great choice for those who want a good gaming setup without completing their pockets completely. It has a 15.6” IPS FullHD display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and GTX 1050 Ti graphics. The only concern here is the mediocre Ryzen 5 mobile chipset, which isn’t as good as its Intel counterpart.

In terms of core gaming performance itself, this laptop can run most graphics-intensive games in medium settings at playable fps. However, you’ll have to minimize or disable certain aspects of the games to achieve that besides graphics settings itself. Another impressive set of features on the HP Pavilion 15 Power is the front-firing dual stereo speakers; tuned by Bang & Olufsen.

6. Lenovo Gaming L340

Lenovo L340 is another entry-level gaming laptop and is priced just below 1 lakh in Nepal. Unlike the HP Pavilion 15, you get an Intel i5 9th gen CPU, which is more powerful than the 3rd gen Ryzen 5. Similarly, you also get a much power NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU as well. Hence, you are going to get a better fps per price with the L340.

In terms of design, unlike other laptops in this list, it doesn’t give the gaming vibe. Hence, you can take this with you in your business meetings or lectures. The display quality is better as well, with 65% of sRGB coverage. With privacy in mind, Lenovo has also added a physical shutter for the webcam, which you can turn on/off anytime. However, one thing that’s disappointing is how the Lenovo Gaming L340 has a single RAM slot; thus effectively denying dual-channel memory configuration.

Similarly, you get a 15.6-inch 1080P display with 93% sRGB color gamut, which is fairly color accurate given the price-tag.

With this level of color-accurate display, the Lenovo Legion Y540 could also be a good option for an intermediate level of photo and video editing. And while the display is pretty clean all-around, it does have a massive bezel on the bottom with the “Legion” branding. The laptop ships with 1TB of HDD, and you can also upgrade the system by installing an SSD into the M.2 PCIe slot available.

MSI is a brand that is synonymous with gaming laptops. And why wouldn’t it be? After all, it has manufactured countless high-end gaming laptops over the years and MSI GF63 is no different. Even though it is a budget gaming laptop, this one tries to deliver the maximum performance. With a 9th Gen Intel i5-9300 processor, 8GB RAM, and Nvidia GTX 1050Ti graphics as a part of its setup, this device can run most of the modern titles.

The MSI GF63 is also a good option to those who want a thin-and-light gaming laptop. Weighing just 1.86kg, this is the lightest laptop on this list. Yet, the lighter chassis also comes at a compromise of thermal performance. It has three heat pipes and a single fan, which may cause some heating issues. Because of this, you may have to use the device in an underclocked setting to avoid any thermal throttling. This one also has a vacant RAM slot, on top of a 2.5-inch HDD bay for memory upgrades.

The Acer Nitro 5 has once again pipped a product with a similar spot for the best budget gaming laptop.
