We are already at 2025, and gaming laptops with the latest 14th-gen Intel and AMD Ryzen AI mobile CPUs are already here. The laptop market in Nepal is filled with some amazing gaming laptops that you can buy under NPR 2.5 lakh. And here, I’ll be discussing the best gaming laptops under 2.5 lakhs in Nepal you could buy right now.
Best Gaming Laptops Under 2.5 Lakhs in Nepal [2025 Update]
Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2023)
Kicking off our list of the best gaming laptops under 2.5 Lakhs in Nepal is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2023). The Zephyrus Series from Asus is all about portable yet powerful machines. Which is why you are getting Intel’s Core i7-13620H CPU here paired with RTX 4070 GPU (120W Dynamic Boost) here.

And this has been paired with 16GB DDR4 RAM alongside 512GB of SSD for storage. The Zephyrus G16 also brings a nice-looking display. It’s got a 16″ IPS panel with FHD resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB colors, G-SYNC support, a MUX switch, and Dolby Vision support.
Whereas Asus has also impressed us with the design of this laptop. It looks quite premium. The Zephyrus G16 looks mighty premium, and it even brings that classic “ErgoLift” hinge for better airflow. There’s no RGB lighting anywhere onboard if that’s something you care about, but we would argue that its relatively thin and lightweight form factor more than makes up for that omission.

HP Omen 16 (2024)
Taking the third spot on our best gaming laptops under 2.5 lakhs in Nepal is the HP Omen 16 (2024). This thing is powered by the Intel Core i7-14700HX, which is notably more powerful than that 13th Gen CPU on the Zephyrus G16. And even in terms of GPU, HP went with a higher TGP RTX 4070 here (140W).
And since the Omen 16 also has a beefier chassis with more room for thermal management, it will yield a better gaming experience overall compared to the Zephyrus G16. Or also when you’re running demanding creative applications.

The Omen 16 has a similar 16.1-inch FHD IPS display with a 165Hz refresh rate, 7ms response time, 300 nits brightness, and 100% sRGB color accuracy. And unlike Asus, this gaming beast from Asus also has RGB-backlit keyboards.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2024)
Up next is the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2024). While it does use an older generation 13th Gen CPU compared to the HP Omen 16 with fewer E-cores, we still found it to be a perfectly powerful processor to handle most games. It also has a similar 140W RTX 4070 GPU, so the reason we’re ranking it above the Omen 16 is mostly because of two things:
- a nicer display,
- and a better cooling system.

So, first things first, the Legion Pro 5i has a sharper 1600p (WQXGA) IPS panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. It even boasts 300 nits of brightness, a faster 3ms response time, G-SYNC support, and 100% sRGB colors that has been pre-calibrated and Pantone certified. That means not only is it perfect for gamers, but you can bet on it for stuff like photo/video editing as well.
The Legion Pro 5i also brings a 4-zone RGB backlit keyboard with numpad, an FHD webcam with privacy shutter, and robust port selection (including USB-C with Power Delivery). All adding to its versatility and user appeal.

Display |

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2024)
Finally, our top pick on this list of the best gaming laptops under 2.5 lakhs in Nepal is the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2024). And what makes this guy stand out is its combination of the 14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4070 (140W) GPU. Making it the most powerful gaming laptop in this segment.
You also get a whole terabyte of high-speed PCIe Gen4 SSD here. Which means whether that’s 1080p/1440p gaming, heavy multitasking, or other demanding workloads like video editing or 3D modeling, the Helios Neo 16 can push through them all like a champ.

The display is another major highlight of this laptop. You’re looking at a 16″ QHD IPS panel with a buttery-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, and 100% of the DCI-P3 color space. And just so you know, the DCI-P3 gamut covers a wider range of colors than sRGB, so the Helios Neo 16’s display is pretty much as good as it gets for an IPS panel.
Not only that, but Acer’s AeroBlade fan technology and liquid metal thermal solution also let you enjoy your gaming sessions for long durations without any thermal throttling. The only little thing we’re concerned about here is that you can actually go with the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2023) with a Core i9-13900HX CPU and the same RTX 4070 graphics if you want a better value for money. Since that thing is much more affordable at just NPR 208,999.

Best Gaming Laptops Under 2.5 Lakhs in Nepal: Conclusion
So those were our picks for the best gaming laptops under 2.5 lakhs in Nepal that you can buy right now. Almost every major laptop manufacturer has had a standout offering this year, while Lenovo and Asus have impressed me the most with their powerful, yet low-profile gaming machines. The display has always been an area of concern when it comes to gaming laptops.
But in 2025, our complaints haven’t been as loud since a few brands have really stepped up in this aspect—and I only hope this trend goes mainstream this year.
