Best Gaming Laptops Under 60000 In India (May 2023)

Asus is one of the most trusted brands amongst gamers from around the world, and they are known for providing exceptional products at a budget price range. The TUF Gaming F15 laptop by Asus is currently the best laptop under Rs. 60,000 in the country if gaming is your primary requirement. One of the main USPs of the Gaming F15 laptop is the presence of the higher 144 Hz refresh rate screen, which is not offered by a lot of laptops in this segment. The higher refresh rate screen helps in smoothing the gameplay which enhances the overall gaming experience.

The laptop is powered by a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 H-series processor alongside a 4GB DDR6 Nvidia GeForce 1650 graphics unit which is capable of running high-end games without breaking a sweat. But if you managed to get 2000 Rs Diwali from your relative, then you can also go with the 1650Ti variant of this laptop. There you get approx 10% higher GPU performance and it definitely worth it.

The laptop uses a 15.6-inch FHD display with two different refresh rate options: a lower-end variant with a regular 60Hz refresh rate, and a higher-end display with a 144 Hz refresh rate. If you are someone who loves connecting your laptop to an external monitor, you can connect it to twin monitors at the same time using the USB Type-C, and HDMI 2.0b ports. Asus claims that they have optimized the keyboard to satisfy the needs of gamers, and the Aura RGB lighting looks good.

To provide seamless connectivity during your online gaming sessions, the TUF Gaming F15 laptop supports Wi-Fi 6 technology that provides unparalleled wireless internet speeds and helps in reducing ping issues. Audio is one of the most important aspects of gaming, as it is essential in enhancing the overall experience, and the laptop uses a 7.1 channel surround sound gaming system for those theatre-like acoustic sound experiences. Asus is also offering a one-month free subscription to the Xbox Game Pass using which you can get access to over 100 high-quality PC games for a month.

The Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 is our second choice on the list of best gaming laptops under 60000 Rs. When we are talking about budget laptops, it is almost impossible to not include a Lenovo product on the list, as the company has made a name for itself in the budget laptops section. The IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop is another offering by the Chinese giant that stands true to its ideology, and it offers exceptional specifications in this segment.

The IdeaPad Gaming 3 is powered by the Ryzen 5 Hexa Core 4600H processor, and there is another variant with the 10th-Gen Intel Core i5 processor. Regardless of the processor, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 houses a 4GB Nvidia GeForce 1650 graphics card, for that buttery smooth gaming performance. Now, there are three variants to choose from. If you can spend a bit extra, you can opt for the higher 120Hz refresh rate screen. Additionally, you can also choose between an HDD or an SSD drive as per your needs. It is worth noting that there are extra slots available in case you want to upgrade your laptop in the future.

Running games on the laptop is an easy affair and you can constantly get about 50 to 60 fps even when playing the most demanding games. The heat dissipation of the laptop is decent, as the laptop does get a bit warm when playing games even for a short duration. It is recommended that you use a cooling pad when using this laptop to play games. The display is quite good, and the bezels are less which increases the overall viewing area. The maximum brightness of the display is about 250 nits which are adequately bright.

The laptop uses dual 1.5W speakers with support for Dolby Atmos sound. Thanks to this, you can enjoy the gameplay even when you are not wearing any headphones. The laptop also has dual-array microphones that capture the audio quite well for your in-game chats with your teammates.

The HP Victus 16 is an affordable and powerful gaming laptop positioned below the HP Omen series. The solid build quality, minimalist design aesthetic, comfortable keyboard and decent display quality are the main prime points of this HP gaming laptop. These unique specialities make them suitable for work as well as play.

The HP Victus 16 is an all-plastic laptop, which feels sturdy enough to use without any give on the keyboard. The V logo in the centre of the lid makes this gaming machine look aesthetically pleasing.

Coming to display, the display isn’t outstanding, though it’s not bad for the price. The display bezels are very thin and the FHD IPS panel also produce good colour production. The only complaint about the display is that we don’t have the option of a high refresh rate display.

The HP Victus 16 comes equipped with the fifth generation AMD Ryzen 5 – 5600H Hexa-core chipset with a base clock speed of 3.3GHz and its turbo boost up to 4.2GHz.

For processing support, there is an 8GB DDR4 RAM and 512GB SSD onboard. But if you require more power you can easily upgrade ram up to 32GB and SSD.

In the graphics department, there is a 4GB DDR6 Nvidia GeForce 1650 GPU alongside the CPU that offers you a smooth gaming experience. You also have Radeon RX 5500M GPU option. The Radeon RX 5500M is a really powerful GPU, but still, I prefer 1650, because of optimized driver support.

Along with that you also have the advantage of a full-sized single LED-backlit keyboard on the deck that offers tactile feedback and you can work effectively in dark environments. The webcam is also decent and offers good quality when sitting in a room that has sufficient lighting conditions.

The HP Victus 16 is powered by a 70Wh lithium battery rated to last for approximately 4-5 hours with normal to medium use. You will also have a 150W power adapter that will recharge the battery levels from 0 to100% in 2 to 2:30 hours.

I already told you that this is just not a gaming machine, it is also perfect for video editing and other productive tasks.

The Acer Aspire 7 is our fourth choice on the list of best gaming laptops under 60000 Rs. This gaming laptop looks like a regular laptop initially because it has got none of those flashy RGB lights or prints that can indicate that it’s a gaming laptop. But don’t let the looks fool you as the Aspire 7 by Acer is a beast when it comes to gaming, and it offers exceptional performance in this budget.

At the core of the Acer Aspire 7 is the Ryzen 5 Hexa Core 5500U processor which is one of the most powerful offerings by AMD in its Ryzen 5 series. The processor is supplemented well by the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, and you can guess the performance levels for yourself. If you do not want the Ryzen variant, you can opt for the variant that runs on the Intel Core 10th-Gen i5 processor. The processor is complemented with 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 512 gigs of ultrafast SSD storage with empty slots available, in case you need to upgrade them in the future.

The 15.6-inch FHD LED Backlit keyboard with a screen-to-body ratio of over 81% is a treat to watch. The colours look sharp, and the visuals are clean, and extremely detailed. The Aspire 7 is a great machine even for your regular usage, and if you are a professional who needs to edit videos, or runs demanding applications. The Aspire 7 features dual-band Wi-Fi 6 connectivity which is much faster than the regular Wi-Fi 5. The laptop also features dual USB Type-A SuperSpeed ports which can be used for data transfer rates of up to 5 GBPS.

If you want a minimalistic laptop with a powerful performance, you can opt for the Acer Aspire 7 without any issues.

HP is by far one of the most popular laptop brands in the world and their Pavilion series of laptops are made especially for gamers. The Pavilion gaming laptop is powered by a Ryzen 5 Hexa Core 4600H CPU that boots alongside the 4GB Nvidia GeForce 1650 graphics unit. It goes without saying that this combination is a powerful one, and it would be good enough even if you want to play demanding games like Battlefield V, PubG, GTA V, and more. 

The heat management of the Pavilion gaming laptop is one of the best in the segment, and the laptop would not heat up significantly even when you have been gaming for a while now. However, the fans would start revving at high rates, and there might be a lot of noise. Apart from gaming, the laptop is adequately powerful to run other demanding applications like Adobe After Effect, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. 

However, Pavilion Gaming does not offer a higher refresh rate which is a bit disappointing, given the competition offers the same. It is definitely not a deal-breaker, a higher refresh rate screen would have been cherry on top. Although HP disappointed a bit with the regular refresh rate screen, it makes up for it in the audio department. This laptop features a dual speaker system by Bang and Olufsen which is said to be one of the best audio companies in the world. The audio quality is exceptional, and it is loud as well. Even if you are not using external headphones or speakers, you will be more than satisfied with the laptop’s audio, and it would definitely help in enhancing your overall gaming experience. 

Overall, if you want superior audio quality, and you can compromise on the regular refresh rate screen, the HP Pavilion Gaming laptop is the one for you.

MSI is primarily a gaming laptop brand and it offers some amazing products at an affordable price range. The MSI GF63 is undoubtedly the best laptop in terms of looks, as the laptop looks pretty sleek, sharp, and the dragon logo in the centre of the laptop’s lid adds to the beauty of this laptop. But for the slim and compact look, you have to compromise a little bit in the graphics card department. The MSI GF63 comes with Nvidia GTX 1650 Max Q, which is the downgrade version of 1650 and is specially made for compact and slim gaming laptops. It takes low power and generates low heat compared to GTX 1650, but at the same time, there is performance compromise.

Talking about gaming performance, you can run games like Apex Legends, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and much more at an average of 50 to 60 FPS. The GF63 uses the Cooler Boost 5 technology to ensure that the laptop’s temperatures remain in check even when it’s pushing its limits.

The only complaint we have from the GF63 is its regular display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It’s not a major con in anyways, we expected MSI to provide a higher refresh rate screen on the GF63. If you are really looking for a higher refresh rate screen, and you can spend some extra bucks, you can opt for the MSI GF75 that has a 144Hz display.

Overall if you want a good looking gaming laptop, and you can adjust with that 60 Hz screen, you can go ahead with the MSI GF63 without any issues.

The Mi Notebook Horizon is our last choice on the list of best gaming laptops under 60000 Rs. Until now, we have only discussed laptops with powerful dedicated graphics units that suit the needs of professional gamers the most. But what if you are a casual gamer, and you just need a machine for playing light games occasionally. If you find yourself in a similar situation, the Mi Notebook Horizon Edition might just be the best laptop for you. Let’s have a look at why we are saying the same. 

First things first, the Mi Notebook Horizon Edition is probably the only laptop in this budget segment that offers an Intel Core i7 processor in addition to a dedicated graphics card. The Notebook Horizon Edition laptop runs on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor alongside a 2GB MX 350 graphics card which is recommended for casual and light gaming. If you love playing FIFA or other casual games, then the Notebook Horizon Edition would not disappoint you, and you can easily run these games at medium to high graphics settings with decent average FPS. The processor and the graphics card is complimented well by the 8GB RAM onboard which would be really useful when you are multitasking.

Additionally, the Mi Notebook Horizon Edition is the only laptop that weighs under 1.8 kilograms, 1.35kg exactly. One of the major benefits of buying the Notebook Horizon Edition is the fact that it is from Xiaomi, a major electronics brand in the country. There are more than 450 dedicated service centres across the country, and you can even avail of Home Service if something goes wrong in the future. 

If you are not a fan of larger displays, the 14-inch FHD Anti-Glare display on this laptop can be a great choice for you. The bezels are super thin which increases the viewing area. The entire body is made of metal that provides it with that premium look. The stereo speakers system on the laptop supports DTS Audio Processing that would certainly enhance the overall audio experience. One of the best parts of this laptop is that you can get up to 10 hours of battery life on regular use. Now, the battery life would certainly be less when you are gaming, but you would still get an above-average battery life when compared to other laptops. 

Overall, if you are looking for a premium-looking laptop for your casual gaming needs, then the Notebook Horizon Edition can be a great choice for you.
