These days, buying a gaming laptop under 60000 doesn’t mean you’re compromising on a lot, be it the CPU or the GPU. Most good gaming laptops under 60000 nowadays have at least a 4-Core / 8-Thread CPU paired with an Nvidia RTX 1650, which is a great starting GPU capable of running modern titles at 1080p on mid to low settings with ease. Unlike a few years ago, buying a gaming laptop under 60K doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a low powered dual-core CPU paired with either integrated graphics or an Nvidia GT or MX series GPU which just couldn’t handle running AAA games at 60fps without serious compromises like lowering the resolution or dropping settings to the bare minimum. So here is a list of the best gaming laptops under 60000.
The Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 comes equipped with a Ryzen 5 5600H which is a 6-Core / 12-Thread chip based on AMD’s “ZEN 3” architecture paired with a GTX 1650 which is a respectable GPU for 1080p gaming. Its other notable specs include a 512 GB NVMe SSD which is excellent at this price, 8 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz memory which can be expanded up to 32 GB and a Full HD IPS 120 Hz display which even supports FreeSync premium which is great. The overall design of the Ideapad is minimalistic, just clean black all around with a Lenovo logo on the corner of the top lid which is excellent for people who want to use their laptop in a more professional environment. Even the keyboard is understated with a simple white led backlight. If you’re in the market for a laptop that is great at gaming and suitable in a professional work environment, the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 is the top gaming laptop under 60000.
The HP pavilion 15 comes equipped with a Ryzen 5 5600H which is a 6-Core / 12-Thread chip based on AMD’s 7nm+ process node paired with an Nvidia GTX 1650. The Pavillion 15 comes equipped with a Full HD IPS 144 Hz display with really thin bezels, 8 GB of DDR4 memory, 512 GB of NVMe storage and it’s one of the only laptops on this list that comes with Windows 11 pre-installed which is nice. The overall design of the Pavilion 15 is pretty minimalistic with a full black chassis and just some hints of purple on the HP logo and the keyboard. There are large vents on the bottom for intake and exhaust on the back, which when paired with the efficient Ryzen 5 5600H and the low powered GTX 1650, you can expect relatively cool temperatures while using this device. Unlike most other laptops in this category, the Pavilion 15 weighs only 1.98 Kg, making it a great choice for people who are in the market for a light gaming laptop.
The ASUS Vivobook Gaming is a very unique device which is targeted at professional workers who need a machine for work but also need something suitable for gaming in their downtime. Like other professional laptops, the Vivobook has a really clean design with a single ASUS Vivobook logo at the top but when it comes to the specs it’s no slouch. The Vivobook comes packed with an Intel Core i7 10870H which is a 10th Gen 8-Core / 16-Thread chip paired with an Nvidia GTX 1650, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, 1 TB HDD, 256 GB of NVMe storage and a 15.6-inch Full HD 120 Hz display, making it a powerhouse of a laptop at its price. Some of its other features that are more tailored to professional individuals include a Windows precision touchpad, Wi-Fi 6 support and the inclusion of a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello. The Vivobook may not be the best gaming laptop under 60000 but it’s the only laptop that has an 8 core CPU paired with a GTX 1650 in this price segment.
The HP Pavilion 15 comes with a Ryzen 5 4600H which is a 6-Core / 12-Thread CPU based on the AMD “ZEN 2” architecture still manufactured on the 7nm process node paired with the GTX 1650 Ti which is about 5 per cent faster than the GTX 1650. The HP Pavilion 15 is the only gaming laptop under 60000 that comes equipped with the 1650 Ti which is a more powerful GPU for 1080p gaming compared to the GTX 1650. Some other notable specs of this laptop include a Full HD IPS 144 Hz display, 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of NVMe storage. The laptop also comes with dual speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen so they should be more than adequate for media consumption. If you’re in the market for a no-compromises 1080p gaming device, then the HP Pavilion 15 equipped with a 1650 Ti is an excellent pick over other GTX 1650 gaming laptops under 60k.
The Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 comes with a Ryzen 5 4600H based on last-gen “ZEN 2” architecture, which is a respectable 6-Core / 12-Thread CPU with boost clocks of 4.0 GHz. This is paired with an Nvidia GTX 1650, 8 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz memory, 512 GB of NVMe storage and a 1080p IPS 120 Hz display. The overall design of the Ideapad is pretty similar to the Legion lineup from Lenovo; it’s a clean black design all around, with air intake vents on the bottom and exhaust on the back and side. It also comes with a full-size keyboard with a blue backlight. Even though the 4600H is slower than the 5600H, going with this variant means you can use the difference in their price to upgrade the ram to 16 GB which would make this an overall better deal, especially for gaming.
The Acer Aspire 7 is possibly the cheapest gaming laptop in the current market that comes equipped with an Nvidia GTX 1650 paired with an Intel Core i5 10300H which is a 4-Core / 8-Thread chip that is capable of boosting up to 5.0 GHz, which is perfectly adequate for 1080p gaming. Its other notable specs include 512 GB SSD, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a Full HD 60 Hz display. The overall design of the laptop is pretty barebones, just black all around with an Acer logo on the top lid. However, things like a backlit keyboard, USB-C port and fairly thin display bezels do give it a somewhat modern feel. The Aspire 7 is a fairly basic gaming laptop but at its retail price, it’s hard to ask for anything more with its fairly powerful GPU and CPU combination, and it can easily handle most titles at medium to low settings on 1080p with ease.
The MSI GF63 Thin comes with a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 10300H, a 4-Core / 8-Thread CPU, paired with a GTX 1650, 8 GB of Ram, 1 TB HDD, 256 GB SSD and a 1080p IPS 60 Hz display. As its name suggests, it’s a thin and light gaming laptop coming in at 21.7 mm and weighing just 1.86 kg which is rare to see when compared to other similar gaming laptops under 60000. The overall design of the MSI is reminiscent of old gaming laptops, with its red-accented logo on the top lid and red keyboard backlighting. It is certainly not a subtle aesthetic, so do keep that in mind before picking this up. Another great reason to go with MSI over other brands is the fact that unlike other brands in this price segment, they provide a 2-year warranty instead of 1 year, which is great. If you’re looking for a thin and light gaming laptop that screams “gamer!” GF63 is an excellent choice for 1080p gaming.
ASUS TUF is the budget gaming laptop line from ASUS. Powered by an Intel Core i5 10300H which is a quad-core CPU paired with an Nvidia GTX 1650, which is a great combo for 1080p gaming. Its other notable specs include 8 GB of DDR4 memory, 512 GB of SSD storage and a 1080p 144 Hz IPS display which has thin bezels for a more modern feel. The design of the TUF F15 isn’t understated by any means, it has an industrial design with modern aesthetics which stand out. The TUF line is a bit unique because ASUS uses military-grade materials in its chassis so you can expect the build quality to be fairly sturdy. Some other features that aren’t available on other competitive laptops are the inclusion of a 10 Gbps USB 3.2 gen 2 Type-C port capable of displaying output to display port 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 and the F15 also has a single-zone RGB keyboard which is something missing from other gaming laptops under 60000. If you’re looking for a gaming laptop from ASUS in this price range there is no better alternative in this range.
