How to buy a gaming laptop under Rs. 2 lakhs in Nepal?
When searching for a decent gaming laptop under 2 lakh, you should be looking for one that's capable of running AAA titles smoothly under medium-high graphics settings. Besides this, seeing how we're hunting for a gaming laptop, your choice has to feature a high refresh rate screen as well. At least 120Hz and maybe higher.Manufacturers usually compromise on the color accuracy side of things in terms of affordable gaming laptops, but 100% sRGB should be fine for most cases. To make sure you face no issues when it comes to multitasking, at least 16GB of RAM is a must, and you should shy away from those with just HDD storage. With that out of the way, let's take a look at the best gaming laptops under 2 lakhs in Nepal.
