Best under budget geming laptops

Laptops built for gaming tend to have certain features that are geared towards improving your gaming experience. However, they also cost a lot so for folks wanting a cheap gaming laptop, certain compromises need to be made. You will most likely not get a high refresh rate panel in a gaming laptop under 50,000, then you'll lost out on additional storage in gaming laptops under the 50,000 and 40,000 price brackets. And you'll be lucky to even spot a decent processor or even a discrete graphics card in gaming laptops under 30,000. So for this lister, we've tried to maximise your gaming experience in under 60,000 with these budget gaming laptops. Most of them are powered by the latest 9th Gen or 10th Gen processors from Intel or the Ryzen 3000 series of processors from AMD. We're yet to see any laptops based on the Ryzen 4000 series of processors so those laptops are absent from this list till we get any. Thankfully, the discrete graphics cards that all of these laptops have will help you get good FPS in games.List Of Best Budget Gaming Laptop

The Acer Aspire 7 laptop isn't exactly built for gaming but from a specification standpoint it has the best graphics card in the price segment (GTX 1650) along with the Intel Core i5-9300H. Moreover, Acer has also included a 512 GB SSD. The only thing missing out happens to be a high-refresh rate panel but given the GPU, that might be asking too much for most games except the few that are optimised for high FPS.
