5. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2024)

Okay, starting our list of the best gaming laptops in Nepal is the Acer Helios Neo 16 (2024). It comes with previous-generation hardware from both Intel and NVIDIA, but in terms of gaming, you likely won’t have much to complain about. Especially given its price. 

So the Helios Neo 16 has Intel’s Core i9-14900HX CPU and RTX 4080 GPU. Which is still a deadly combo for 2K or even 4K gaming in 2025. You’ll definitely find newer gaming laptops with Intel’s 15th Gen processor and NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti GPU at a slightly higher price than the Neo, but what you need to know is that RTX 4080 is actually slightly more powerful. 

If you’re tight on budget and don’t mind going with one-year-old hardware, this is genuinely the best option right now. Plus, considering the price-to-performance ratio, the RTX 4080 actually offers better overall value than some newer laptops with the RTX 5070 Ti.

4. Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2025) - RTX 5080

Up next, we have the new 2025 Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. Unlike the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16, here we get the second-best options from both Intel and NVIDIA, featuring the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and the NVIDIA RTX 5080 laptop GPU, which comes with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a 175W TGP. This is a solid combo for both gaming and productivity. The laptop also comes with Lenovo’s Coldfront Vapour system, which includes a large vapour chamber, a triple-fan setup, and liquid metal to help prevent thermal throttling.

For more vibrant and immersive gameplay, it even comes with an OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and a response time under 0.5ms GTG, and that's not all, as it also has 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage, making it perfect for content creation too.

3. Acer Predator Helios 18 AI (2025)

Okay, in third place, we have the all-new Predator Helios 18 AI. It uses the same chips we have seen in the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, but it features a larger 18-inch display, which is great if you want more screen space.

However, the screen used here is a mini LED panel, which, if you look closely, is found on the newer MacBook Pros, delivering brighter colors with no risk of burn-in. And compared to OLED screens, mini LEDs don't achieve the same perfect blacks or infinite contrast, but OLEDs are better for dark rooms and movies.

2. ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 (2025)

In second place is Asus’s ROG Strix Scar 18, a top-of-the-line gaming laptop with the RTX 5090 GPU. It also has a large 18-inch mini LED display, RGB lighting around the edges, and even a Thunderbolt 5 port with 120 Gbps of bandwidth, compared to 40 Gbps on Thunderbolt 4, which no other laptop on this list offers.

It ranks second mainly because of the price. At 7.6 lakh rupees, it is significantly more expensive than the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, which I will talk about in a bit, but the extra cost you pay does not add much value. Still, if you want a laptop that stands out in performance and style, this is a great choice.

1. Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2025) - RTX 5090

At the top of our list is the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, a powerhouse gaming laptop with the RTX 5090 GPU. If you love the smaller 16-inch form factor, this is a perfect pick.

What makes it stand out is the balance of its power, performance, and value. It is approximately NPR 135,000 cheaper than the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18, yet still delivers top-tier performance, with a more compact, easy-to-handle design, making it perfect for gamers who want both portability and high performance.
