Best Gaming Laptops in Nepal Under Rs. 200,000 (रु 2 Lakhs)

Starting this list is the MSI Katana 15 (2023). The Katana Series from MSI is a high-end model from the Taiwanese laptop maker. This guy boasts a Core i7-13620H processor CPU with 10 cores and 16 threads and a boost frequency of 4.9GHz. Handling the gaming section is the NVIDIA’s RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM which can hit a 105W power with dynamic boost. Pair that with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD.

Opening the lid takes you to the 15.6-inch IPS FHD panel, boasting a 144Hz refresh rate. Fueling the machine is a 53.5Wh cell with 200W charging. Filling the gaming vibe is a 4-zone RGB gaming keyboard.

Next, we have the Omen 16 from HP’s flagship gaming lineup. The 2023 model opts for Intel’s Core i7-13620H processor, paired with RTX 4060 graphics. The latter has an 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. Moreover, the laptop has 16GB of DDR5 RAM, upgradeable up to 32GB. Likewise, you get 1TB of SSD to store all your favorite games. The display here measures 16.1 inches and boasts a 165Hz refresh rate.

It can get as bright as 300 nits for indoor usage and supports 100% sRGB gamut. For gamers, it comes with a 4-one RGB keyboard with 26-key rollover and anti-ghosting technology. Further enhancing the gaming experience are the stereo speakers with DTS:X Ultra. The laptop is fueled by an 83Wh Li-ion battery with 230W AC charging.

The Nitro V (2023) is the latest addition to the popular Nitro series. For around 2 lakh rupees, you can get a number of CPU / GPU configurations in this series. Your first and more balanced option would be to go with an i7 + RTX 4060 model just like the Omen we talked about earlier. On the other hand, you can also opt for an i9-13900H CPU with a weaker RTX 4050 card as well. Both cards will have DLSS 3.5 support with Frame Gen capabilities but do keep in mind that you aren’t getting the full performance because of the limited TDP in Nitro V 15 laptops.

Opening the lid gets you to the 15.6-inch IPS panel with a 165Hz refresh rate and FHD resolution. Unfortunately, the display might not be up to the mark for creative folks as it can only display 45% of the NTSC colors. Fueling this 2.6kg laptop is a 57Wh 4-cell Li-ion battery with 135W charging.

There’s always going to be a Victus when we are talking about gaming laptops and that is the case here too. This 16″ model from 2023 brings an AMD Ryzen 7 processor paired with a full-power 4060 card. So performance-wise the Ryzen 7840HS and RTX card are pretty bang for the buck. But the Victus 16 has something else up its sleeve too. Its 16.1″ screen is not only bright (300 nits) and colorful (100%sRGB), but it also has the highest refresh rate of any gaming laptop in this price bracket. A crisp QHD display with a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 3ms response time is perfect for 1440p gaming or playing competitive titles at super high frame rates.

The rest of the specs include a 70Wh battery, a USB-Type C port, and WiFi 6 support. You get a white backlit full-sized keyboard with a decently large trackpad and a Full HD webcam. All that for just around 1.8 lakh.

At number 5 is the Lenovo Legion Slim gaming laptop. You get the same Ryzen 7 7840HS processor as in the Victus but the graphics card is configured at a higher TGP and you get better build and portability with the Slim.

Talking of the graphics, you get the RTX 4060 GPU with 140W TGP on the Legion Slim 5i. There’s 16GB of RAM alongside a 512GB SSD. It is powered by a 60Wh cell that supports 230W charging. The screen is a 16-inch IPS with FHD+ resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate.

Asus TUF Dash Gaming (2023) is the only gaming machine on this list to be powered by a Ryzen 9 7940HS processor. This 8-core 12 Threads CPU boasts a max boost frequency of 5.2GHz. On the graphics side, you get an RTX 4060 laptop GPU with a 140W dynamic boost. The 2023 model of the TUF Dash also brings MUX Switch, allowing users to cut off the bottleneck caused by the integrated GPU in the visual pipeline. Likewise, it ships with 16GB of upgradeable DDR5 RAM and 1TB of SSD storage.

The 15.6-inch screen refreshes at 144Hz and brings support for Adaptive-Sync. Like most TUF Gaming series, this one also has military-grade durability certifications and features like Dolby Atmos.

Ranking in the third spot is the 2024 iteration of the LOQ 15 with the latest Core i7-14700HX processor. This beast of a CPU features 20 total Cores with 28 threads and a boost clock of 5.5 GHz. That’s paired with an RTX 4060 at 105 watts.

You are getting a pretty typical FHD display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 300 nits of brightness. Colors are accurate with a 100% sRGB coverage and you don’t have to worry about reflections thanks to a matte coating. The ports, battery, and connectivity options are also pretty similar to other offerings in this segment.

Next up, we have the latest Acer Helios Neo 16 as the second-best gaming laptop, around 2 lahks in Nepal. It features the Core i7-13700HX CPU with 16 Cores and 24 Threads. This is paired with RTX 4060, which is again the most powerful GPU you can get in this price range. In addition to its raw performance, RTX 4060, like the rest of the 40 series, boasts DLSS 3.5 with Frame Gen support.

As with all new Helios models, the Neo 16 also has a MUX Switch to enable dGPU mode for better performance. Elevating the gaming experience is the RGB keyboard, which also complements the Abyss Black chassis. There is nothing to complain about the build as well. Here, you get a metal lid and a plastic body.

Inside, there are two RAM slots that you can configure up to 64GB. By default, it ships with just 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Likewise, it has 1TB of storage to store all your favorite games. You can enjoy your games on a big 16-inch screen that refreshes at 165Hz. You can even use it for content creation, as it has sharp WQXGA resolution and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage.

Grabbing the gold as the best overall gaming laptop for 2 lakh in Nepal is the Legion Pro 5i from Lenovo. Not only does it pack a punch when it comes to raw performance, but the other aspects of the machine like the build, and the display, and the keyboard are all top-notch as well. As such, if you were looking for an allrounder, this is the one to pick.

The CPU is the Core i7-13700HX which boasts 16 cores and 24 threads along with a 5.0GHz Turbo frequency. This is paired with a beefed-up GeForce RTX 4060 from NVIDIA configured at 140W TGP. Likewise, you get 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of NVMe SSD.

Opening the lid, you are greeted with a 16” QHD screen with 165Hz refresh rate, 300 nits of brightness, 3ms response time, and even a 100% sRGB gamut. Also, the Legion TrueStrike feels better than keyboards on other gaming laptops.
