What about ergonomics, build quality, thermals etc? Are these a good option over Legion/Omen? And are these panels super substandard?

Legion & Omen are a tier above. Cheapest Omen worth buying is last year's model with R5 4600H + 1660Ti for over 80k, but has a poor 60Hz display.

New Ideapad 3 has vents on both sides, so I think they redesigned the fan layout to have one on each side, should be good for 75W RTX 3050. Check the older model's review by Jarrod Tech.

Legion 5 and 5 Pro 3060 come in stock occassionally. Keep a watch.

Legion 5 RTX 3050 is like 105k & 3050Ti at 110k.

Asus tuf a17, r5 4600 was available for 59k and 63k on flipkart. Went out of stock in minutes.

I have a small doubt -
intel 10500h ~ 2.5 ghz to 4.5 ghz
ryzen 5 4600h ~ 3ghz to 4ghz.

WRT “mild”single core tasks, Will there be a slight lag in intel because it starts at 2.5, and ryzen is already at 3ghz.?

I went to a few Asus stores, they don’t have stock of the cheaper 17 inch laptops. Can’t see these on the Asus website too. Also Msi gf75 listed on Amazon, isn’t mentioned on their website.

what could be the reason ? Are these out of production models, and ecom websites have older stock ?

Cheers. What about Nitro 5 with Intel i7-11800H and 3050Ti? If I'm good for it money-wise, does it beat all of the above?

Intel i7-11800H

*www.notebookcheck.net/R7-5800H-vs-i7-11800H_13005_13145.247596.0.html

5800H is still marginally better overall.

Yeah I mean the overall package though. And it's priced <1 lac with 16GB Ram, 4GB 3050Ti etc. - so a comparable option would be Victus. Wonder if this is better? I mean Victus has a slight advantage with the 5800H, but what about other aspects?

Also, thoughts on:

Wondering what the catch is here. Seems great, lack of HDD aside.

Price?? If its under 90k, good. Otherwise Nitro 5 with R5 5600H + 3060 is 100k or just less, far better choice for gamers.

100% avoid

Get Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with R5 5600H + RTX 3050 + 120Hz for under 80k. That HP pavilion has a 100% sRGB display but that alone isn't worth paying about 20k extra.

No it's just sub 100k. Also it's mainly for content creation - video editing/graphic design etc. 1 lac + is over the budget tbh.

Also how about: G15 Ryzen Edition Gaming Laptop | Dell India

 

[sinhead]

I got the Msi gf75 today. Is fine for me and my workloads.

These days Dell's high-performance laptops are an easy skip, even Alienware.

Look for offer on HP Victus with R7 5800H + 3060. Might be a good deal after card discounts, the best one with amazon ICICI CC.

 

[aby geek]

So hp victus with an external drive or a predator helios with 2 drives? I am not really sure if victus would have upgradable drives wthout voiding warranty.
Is the legion 5 non pro available what's the price and what's different from the pro?

My need is 3d content creation is 11800h better than 5800h? And what is the tgp ofc3060 in this panel?
Will the 57/60wh battery run well with qhd?

Treat it as a UPS instead.
