Asus TUF A15 with R5 4600H + GTX 1650Ti + 144Hz + 512GB SSD was launched for 71k, I think. The display is considered not good for photo/video editing but for its price, it's a good enough display, for 90k+ laptops, it ain't. Try to find that.

Surely, new Legion 5 is a better laptop than A15 but no idea when it will reach India, moreover it doesn't have a 1660Ti model with Ryzen CPUs. I doubt you will get 1660Ti powered laptops for under 80k anytime soon.

Yes. I checked amazon yesterday, it's going to be available on July 14th(amazon says so).

Are you guys not concerned about the thermal solution? Saw some of reviews saying it's not designed well/specifically designed worse.

Display and Poor thermal Performance.

Jarrod Tech has a review of R5 4600H + 1650Ti model, check it. Thermals are fine, not as bad as 1660Ti or 2060 models with R7 4800H.

You can't get better display than what A15 has for 70k (unless some other old laptop gets a huge price cut). Others have 60Hz panel, at least A15 has 144Hz panel with same 60-70% sRGB coverage. I know that 90k+ laptops with 144Hz have that 100% sRGB panel, like Helios 300 or Y540.

Increase budget if it still bothers you. I don't see any 100% sRGB display coming under 80k anytime soon as these are budget gaming laptops. Mid range gaming laptops are 90k+ (big sales are an exception).

Just checked. 4600H + 1650Ti model is back, but it's the Metal Lid version, so 84K.

Edit: Incorrectly typed 1660 instead of 1650

This seems to fit my budget. Will go for it, after a few days as HP Omen is also listed now on Flipkart.

Not much hope from HP, even less from Dell for good pricing (all Dell gaming laptops including Alienware overheat a lot, so waste of money).

If you've made the decision, it's in stock now.

BTW, which HP omen are you talking about? AFAIK, HP Omen would be around 100k, right?

The base variant is priced at around 74K. Maybe after launch, we will know the actual buying price.

Is it, I mean 1650 has been seen in laptops just below 50k(ryzen 4xxxH config but out of stock now on flipkart) so I expect a good price for 1650Ti laptop to be ~60-62k.

Still, the cheapest laptop which went on sale with 1650Ti was A15 at 71k or so. So considering superior build & thermal performance of new HP Omen, 75k is great. Surely once the logistics issues are sorted & more options in market, after a few months we will likely see 1650Ti laptops for ~60k. Nvidia did cut the price of their GPUs, so 1650 costs same as 1050 now & 1650Ti is replacing 1650 in terms of price.

The base variant of HP Omen launched at the price mentioned in Flipkart. Now I am confused between these two:
*www.flipkart.com/hp-omen-ryzen-5-h...ampaign=WBIIUCNM1XNZ_1172704&utm_medium=email
*www.flipkart.com/dell-g5-15-se-ryz...ampaign=WBIIUCNM1XNZ_1173385&utm_medium=email

Both are priced similarly, specs are almost similar, the difference being one has RX5600M and the other has 1650Ti.
Moderators, any suggestions?
