How to choose a gaming laptop under NPR 150000 in Nepal?

Let's first start with the things that you should consider before buying a mid-range gaming laptop. At this price range, you should not settle for GTX graphics like 1650. You can even get laptops with the latest RTX 40-series GPU with hardware-based Ray Tracing, DLSS AI super-sampling, and DLSS Frame Generation.As for CPU, you can go with either Intel or AMD as long as you are getting the H-series processors (Intel 12th/13th Gen or Ryzen 6000/7000 series). Instead, pay more attention to RAM and storage. Most gaming laptops under Rs. 1.5 lakh in Nepal ship with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD, which is not enough for gaming in the long run. So, upgrade to 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD whenever you can, even if it means going over the budget by a bit.120Hz screens are common, but unless you are into competitive gaming, higher refresh rates should not bother you much.
