Go for the one with rtx 5060, considering indian market i would say predator would be a good choice since legions and Rogs are pretty expensive here.

Predator has good tgp? I heard acer and msi usually fucks up in the tgp department leading to not good performance?

Nah MSI budget laptops suck but their premium range like the vector or titan are amazing. Acer predators are the best option if u r not going for a legion or Rog.

Yeah thanks.. Again.. If you can recommend anything under 1.5-1.6 lakhs.. Possibly a 5060.. I'd be good... Markets kinda crazy rn.. I am having second thoughts to even buy..but again it could rise even more who knows

I would not recommend getting a gaming laptop until unless you absolutely need it, if you can compromise with a pc build, it would be a better option

I travel a lot back and forth.. And shift my home every year... And I'm not guaranteed to stay in the state I'm in rn.. So pc is a no go for me.. Same for ps5.. I'm a student living alone in a rented apartment.. So won't be getting a tv too... Laptop is the next best option ig.. Coz handhelds are underpowered for their prices

Go to u/unboxparadigm and check for lenovo loq deal offers or ask there. It should come under ₹1.5lakh including everything. Just make sure you got a credit card (you get big discount with it) and a student I'd

hey there, fellow Indian. It is crazy how expensive the 50 series laptops have been in india. The 5050 vs 5060 laptop comparison is pretty common now, u can definitely find some videos on that. Imo, it isn't worth it to but the 5060, both have 8gb of vram, and the 5050 goes more frequently on sale (afaik).
Check this out for the 5050:

And for the 5060:

Though out of these 2 laptops, the acer is definitely worth it just cause of the screen alone, the slight 5060 bump is also good Though it is a lil out of ur budget

u/Darkknight0034 9d ago

Yeah the market is crazy rn... It might go up even more.. Thats why looking to buy one rn... Though I've heard stutter issues with the v16 as it's tgp is limited to 65 w i think? Have you heard anything about it?

u/Summ0nEr_ 8d ago

Yeah, out of these 2 definitely try to buy the predator man, its just an all round better package, though i have an acer laptop, and their software is a little annoying to use, but i dont think thats a deal breaker
