Best Intel Core i9 Laptop in India

At the top of the food chain is the MSI Raider GE67 HX. It comes equipped with the very powerful Intel Core i9-12900HX processor, capable of delivering ultra-smooth performance in all applications, sometimes even surpassing desktop variant i9s. The laptop is paired with an equally powerful Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti that has 16GB GDDR6 VRAM and 175W TGP. To top it all off, the laptop also features 32GB DDR5 memory running in quad-channel mode and a 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The amalgamation of all these specs results in a laptop capable of delivering blistering performance. To showcase the same, the laptop also comes with a gorgeous Quad HD 240Hz IPS LCD panel, so the users can enjoy their games at higher resolutions and frame rates.

Like the MSI Raider GE67 HX, the Lenovo Legion 7i also comes with the powerful 12th gen Intel Core i9-12900HX, an NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 2TB of NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. You also get a WQXGA (2560x1600) display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz and peak brightness of 500 nits. As you can see, the first two laptops are almost identical when it comes to specifications, however, in terms of performance, the MSI Raider did outperform the Legion 7i in our benchmarks. That being said, the Lenovo Legion 7i is still an incredibly powerful machine and the second best option on this list if you’re considering a machine that features the Intel Core i9.

The MSI Raider GE66 is almost as powerful as its bigger cousin. With a 15.6-inch 4k display supporting up to 120Hz maximum refresh rate support, the MSI Raider GE66 is gorgeous to look at. Powering the laptop is up to an Intel Core i9-12900HK, which is slightly weaker than the HX variant, and an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti with 16GB GDDR6 VRAM. The machine also comes equipped with 32GB DDR5 RAM running in quad-channel mode and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The Core i9 laptop price in India is pretty high but considering its specifications, the high cost seems justifiable.

Alienware makes some of the best-designed laptops on the market. It’s something the brand has become famous for in recent years as they released one hit product after another in the past two years. The Alienware X17 R2 is also a product cut from the same cloth. The laptop features the proprietary Element 31 thermal solution, which is gallium-silicon thermal paste and a set of extensively designed heat pipes. The Alienware X17 gaming laptop is powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900HK processor and an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti GPU with 16GB GDDR6 VRAM. The laptop does feature 32GB memory running in dual channel mode but it's LPDDR5 instead of the regular DDR5 standard. This means, the memory is soldered to the board and not user-upgradable. The laptop also features a 1TB SSD which should be enough to store most applications and games. Lastly, this Core i9 laptop has a massive 17.3-inch QHD display with 165Hz maximum refresh rate support and Nvidia Advanced Optimus enabled.

Just like the laptops mentioned above, the MSI Stealth GS66 is another meticulously designed laptop on our list. It comes with a fairly slim-form factor and stays true to its name by offering a very “Stealthy” look. In terms of specifications, the MSI Stealth GS66 features an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU alongside the brand new Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU equipped with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. The laptop also comes with 32GB DDR5 RAM in a quad-channel setup and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. In a 16:9 aspect ratio, the laptop features a QHD IPS-level display with up to 240Hz maximum refresh rate support. The Core i9 laptop’s display also supports 100% DCI-P3 coverage making it well suited for viewing HDR content.

The Acer Predator Helios 500 is unlike the rest of the laptops on this list. It features an Intel 11th Gen Core i9-11980HK processor instead. It is an 8-core, 16-thread processor, paired with an Nvidia RTX 3080 with 16GB GDDR6 VRAM. However, the laptop’s display is one of its biggest highlights. It features a 4K 120Hz display that can support up to 1000 nits of maximum brightness in HDR mode. The display also has 100% DCI-P3 colour spectrum coverage and an integrated Mini-LED setup as well. In terms of memory and storage, the Core i9 laptop features 64GB DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode and a combination of a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD and a 1TB 2.5-inch HDD running in RAID mode.

The Acer Predator Helios 300 saw an upgrade later in the year and comes powered with a 12th Intel Core i9-12900H. It also features an Nvidia RTX 3060 equipped with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM. The screen on the Acer Predator Helios is an QHD IPS display with 165 Hz refresh rate support and a maximum brightness of 300 nits. For storage purposes, the laptop also features a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD, which is plenty fast. Handling all tasks related to memory is 16GB DDR5 RAM that can handle plenty of Chrome tabs with ease.
