What to look for in a gaming laptop?

Before you move on to choose your new laptop, have a look at this little buying guide we made for you. It consists of stuff you should be looking out for while choosing a gaming laptop and setting your priorities when it comes to conflicting specs.

• TDP of the GPU

The term TDP  stands for something called “Thermal Design Power”. In simpler terms, it is an indicator of how much power the GPU draws, and often a direct indicator of its performance capabilities, the higher the better. But that performance does come with a price, higher operating temperatures, which can cause long-term damage to the GPU if not aided by proper cooling and taken care of.

• The CPU

In most games, the GPU does most of the heavy lifting and the CPU does not change much whatsoever. But if you want to squeeze the best out of titles like Far Cry 5, Battlefield 5, and the Assassin’s Creed series, we recommend opting for a decent CPU as well. In the sub 70k price bracket, an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or equivalent is often the best choice. However the octa-core ones tend to perform better and cost a little for the upgrade, so if your budget is a little flexible, you can give those a try as well.

• The amount of RAM

AAA titles are getting more and more detailed day by day, a lot of processes, stored game assets, and files have to be accessed in a limited time period to give you the smooth performance every gamer craves. A good amount of RAM is what it takes to make this possible. We recommend going for at least 8GB of RAM to make sure a RAM bottleneck does not limit your gaming endeavors.

Here is a list of our top recommendations for Laptops with Nvidia RTX 3050 under rupees 70k in India.

1. Acer Nitro 5 – AN515-45-R23Z

The Nitro series is Acer’s biggest contribution to the world of budget gaming, and this one is no exception. Apart from the 75W Nvidia RTX 3050, it packs a Ryzen 5 5600H hexacore for all your processing needs. This processor is AMD’s equivalent of Intel’s i5 and its performance is on par with the Intel1 tech. The Acer Nitro laptop comes pre-equipped with 8GB of DDR4-3200Mhz memory but can be upgraded to 32GB if you want to push its power to the extremes.

The most impressive thing about this piece of tech for me would still be the screen. It is a 15.6” FHD with a 144hz refresh rate and a response time of just 3ms, time to say goodbye to choppy frames and ghosting. It also has a 4-zone RGB keyboard, which not just helps you with the keyboard visibility at night but makes your setup look really cool!

2. ASUS TUF Gaming A17 – FA706IC-HX036W

Our second pick is from ASUS, a brand widely known for its gaming products under sub-brands ROG and TUF. This model is their flagship line-up from the TUF series of laptops. The ASUS TUF model comes with an Nvidia RTX 3050 with a base TDP of 80W but is further aided by their Dynamic Boost technology to give it a good 95W of power. The Ryzen 7 4800H from AMD makes sure that the laptop can handle CPU-intensive titles as well.

What truly makes this laptop our favorite is the ease of upgrading. It has a pop-open screw which, when removed, gives you access to a whole new SSD slot and RAM upgrades up to 32GB of DDR4-3200Mhz memory all the way from the base 8GB it comes equipped with. And the most distinctive feature of this laptop is unsurprisingly the huge 17.3” screen, compared to the usual 15.6’’, this display defines a whole new level of immersive gaming experience. I think everyone impressed by this laptop’s screen can agree that size indeed does matter, but it does not come with its own downsides; the major one being the hardships this can cause while fitting into backpacks, but again it’s up to your uses and preferences.

3. Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 – 15ACH6

The Ideapad gaming 3 is a magnificent device, and it’s not just the sturdiness that makes us say so, but also the versatility this laptop offers. 16GB of RAM gives multitasking whole new limits to explore, you can code, game, join a discord call with your friends and stream your game, all at the same time, without worrying a bit about your laptop crashing. It comes power-packed with an Nvidia RTX 3050 and a Ryzen 5 5600H.

The keyboard comes with a white backlight for visibility at night, the webcam has a physical shutter to ensure your privacy and safety from hackers and the battery life is remarkable in this laptop. With this much raw power, you can and should expect this laptop to be fairly future-proof, on top of all the features the laptop comes with, you get excellent customer service from Lenovo as well.

4. DELL G15 – 5515

This laptop from Dell has to be the most stylish among the 5 laptops on this list. It comes with a design scheme similar to Dell’s flagship Alienware series and pretty-looking reddish-yellow backlighting on the keyboard to add to its already impressive aesthetics. That does not mean it lacks behind in other sectors though, along with the pretty design, the G5 – 5515 is a powerhouse of a machine with the 80W Nvidia RTX 3050 and a Ryzen 5 5600H. It comes with 512GB of SSD storage, that’s plenty, and to make it a top player, this thing packs 16GB of DDR4-3200Mhz memory. Overall, it is a really polished laptop, and one of the best picks for the rupees 70k price bracket.

5. ASUS TUF Gaming A15 – FA506ICB-HN075W

Another one from the TUF series by ASUS, this time, one with a 15.6” display. This is for those who prefer a smaller form factor but want to enjoy the power and durability that the TUF series is known for. At 2.3Kgs of weight, it is 300 grams lighter than its 17.3” counterpart, yet manages to have double the memory, equipped with 16GBs of DDR$-3200Mhz RAM.

The GPU is a 60W RTX 3050 which can be boosted up to 75W with their Dynamic Boost technology. This one has the same Ryzen 7 4800H CPU that the 17.3” version comes equipped with. When it comes to finding a balance between performance, style, and price, this is the best choice to go within this price range.

That concludes our list of top picks for laptops with RTX 3050 under 70k. Apart from raw power, there are a lot of things that contribute to a laptop’s performance and longevity, each of these laptops comes with decent cooling and amazing software made specifically for gamers, such as the Armoury Crate in the TUF series laptops and the Alienware Command Centre in the Dell G5. That being said, if you are still confused regarding which one to choose, we suggest looking at websites like www.gpucheck.com for benchmarks that show the performance in exactly the games you are going to play.
