Best Gaming Laptops Under Rs. 250,000

6. MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI (2025)

The MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI is one of the best gaming laptops you can get in this price range. It packs a powerful CPU–GPU combo featuring the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX paired with an RTX 5060, which is more than capable for day-to-day tasks to even mid-to high-level gaming. We also get a standard 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage, which is well-balanced for the price.

The main reason this laptop sits last on our list is that it’s the only model here with an IPS panel, while the other laptops feature OLED displays. However, it does come with a QHD display and a fast 240 Hz refresh rate, which is actually higher than the 165 Hz OLED panels found later on the list. This is really a good choice if you are into competitive and esports gaming, where smoothness and responsiveness matter more than contrast. Plus, you get 100% DCI-P3 color too, which is perfect for a color grading task or watching content.

Also, MSI offers a 2-year warranty, which adds extra peace of mind.

At number five on our list is the Legion Pro 5i, a laptop many of you already love. We’ll be talking about more Legion Pro 5i models later, but this specific variant comes with the same CPU and GPU combo as the previous MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI.
Where it really stands out is the display. Instead of an IPS panel, you get a WQXGA OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, which looks noticeably better for watching content or doing creative work. The only downside is that here we get a 165 Hz refresh rate, which is lower than the 240 Hz found on the MSI. So, here you are basically trading a bit of smoothness for better colors and contrast.

4. Acer predator Helios Neo 16 (2025)

At fourth spot, we have the  Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2025).It comes with the same specifications that we have seen on the Legion Pro 5i above, featuring the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor and a RTX 5060 GPU.

But.. the main highlight in the show is its display. The laptop comes with a fast 240 Hz WQXGA OLED display, which is a clear winner over the 165 Hz OLED or 240 Hz IPS displays that we usually see in this range. This display is also perfect for esports gaming, and for binge-watching content, as it has even got 100% DCI-P3 color coverage.

Overall, this makes it one of the best value-for-money options in its price range.

3. Acer Predator Helios Neo16S AI (2025)

The all-new Acer Helios Neo 16S AI secures third place on our list. It is powered by Intel’s second most powerful Arrow Lake processor, the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, paired with an RTX 5060 GPU. The processor on this is comparatively faster in both single and multi-core compared to the Helios Neo 16 above. Plus, the laptop comes in a thin form factor without much compromising on build quality or port selection. In terms of memory, we also get 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage, and of course both of these are expandable.

Similar to the Helios Neo 16 above, here we also get a 240 Hz OLED panel with a WQXGA (2560×1600) resolution. On top of that, the 100% DCI-P3 color coverage makes content consumption and media viewing far more immersive and enjoyable.

2. Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (2025)

Securing the second spot is the 2025 Legion Pro 5 (AMD). Here, we get a slightly more powerful processor compared to the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX which we have seen on the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, paired with an RTX 5060. The CPU and GPU combination of this laptop is perfect for gaming, and as we know, AMD is known for its efficiency, so we also get better battery life compared to other laptops in this price range. We also get a storage option of 2TB along with 16GB of RAM, which is quite nice for the price. The display is the same as the other Legion Pro models that I mentioned above.

1.Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2025)

Securing the first spot is not other than the Legion Pro 5i. Inside this beast, we get the Intel Core Ultra 255HX paired with an RTX 5070. This is the only laptop on the list that features such a powerful RTX 5070 GPU. The CPU is also highly capable, which can easily handle day-to-day tasks as well as solid mid-to-high-level gaming. For memory, we get 32GB of DDR5 RAM, which is more than enough for the price. In terms of storage, it comes with a 1TB SSD. Apart from this, it features the same display as the previous Legion Pro 5.
Overall, for the price it offers, the Legion Pro 5i delivers one of the best values in its segment.
