Does playing laptop games such as GTA V, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Need for Speed: Rivals fascinate you? Everyday office laptops are not good for gaming; hence, gaming geeks need the best ones specially manufactured to cater to their needs. You are in the right place if you can also not experience the real thrill of your existing laptop model and are looking for a new one that can enhance your gaming.
Read to find the best gaming laptop under 50000 to play games on a budget. However, if you are looking for the latest features and high specifications, you must extend your budget to around Rs. 80k – Rs. 1 lakh. This is because high-end games require higher specifications which, of course, are available at a higher price range.
Of the ten laptop models shared above, we undoubtedly love the Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G 15.6-inch Laptop. First, the laptop features a full-sized screen with a high resolution and anti-glare LED display. Furthermore, it runs on a powerful processor, has high RAM and storage, and is backed by a high GPU. While all the other models listed above may have some turndowns, this one accommodates almost all the leading specifications required in a gaming laptop.
1. Display
The size, resolution, and refresh rate greatly impact your gaming experience. Getting a clear image and video quality while gaming will give you a good experience hence investing in laptops with amazing quality when it comes to displaying is a must since you want this laptop specifically for gaming purposes.
2. CPU and GPU
Compare part specifications such as core count and clock speed, as well as comparisons, to see how different product lines compare at a glance.
3. Memory and Storage
Recognize the differences between SSDs and HDDs and calculate how much RAM you'll need for your system's intended use. High random read/write speeds are a key benefit of SSDs over HDDs, which means they can easily access data stored in various locations on the drive. They can help reduce device startup times by loading programs and files faster than a comparable-sized HDD.
4. Design
Although lighter laptops may be more portable, powerful hardware may be more important when playing demanding games at home.
5. Ports and Inputs
Prepare for the number of peripherals you'll need, such as external storage and audio. Consider that you need additional versatility, space, or high-speed ports.
If you want to purchase the best gaming laptop under 50000, here are a few main things that you must take care of:
1. Understand the GPU You Need
GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is the chip installed in your graphics card. Most high-end games require GPU over CPU, so it ensures you see a high image on the screen for an enhanced gaming experience. This GPU delivers the images on the screen by processing the data and transferring the signal to the display.
Hence, this stressful process needs a high GPU. If you are into entry-level gaming, you can opt for a GTX 1650 or RX 5500M, but if you are into mainstream gaming, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2060 is the best choice. Many more high graphic cards are available out there, but the budgeting constraints won't allow us to recommend them.
2. Look for a Powerful Processor
As important as a graphics card, a powerful processor ensures your laptop doesn’t lag while you are in action. The available processors can vary per your budget, but you must try to look for the highest possible without compromising on other important specifications. You can get AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i3 - 9th Generation under 50000 to get the fastest clock speed possible at this price point.
3. Don’t Ditch the RAM
Gaming laptops are not only about a GPU or CPU. A high RAM is equally important if you want to play smoothly. You must not consider anything under 8 GB RAM to get the best gaming experience.
4. Pay Equal Attention to the Memory
For laptops under a limited budget, you may come across certain options wherein the storage is compromised to offer the best GPU, CPU, and RAM. Although the ideal choice would be to have 1 TB HDD and 1 TB SSD, it is not possible under Rs. 50k. So, do not settle for anything below 1 TB HDD along with 256 GB SSD storage.
5. Don’t Forget How Important the Keyboard Is
Since gamers equally need the keyboard, specifically the arrow and WASD keys, you must look for an ergonomic keyboard that makes it very comfortable to use. Laser-engraved or raised WASD keys allow you to play more comfortably.
6. Battery Life Matters
Battery life plays a crucial role in determining the shelf life of a laptop, and you need to be extra careful about it when you are looking for a gaming laptop. After all, high-end games drain a lot of battery, and you can’t be running around looking for a charger every time. Averagely, your gaming laptop should have a battery backup of at least six to eight hours.
7. Don’t Underestimate the Screen Size
Although you will equally explore 14-inch screen size options under 50000, don’t settle for anything below 15.6 inches screen if you are into mainstream gaming.
Here are our answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about purchasing a new gaming laptop.
You must buy a gaming laptop if you are tired of lagging and a frozen screen and are looking for a smooth gaming experience. Furthermore, gaming laptops have high speed, better battery backup, and high audio quality.
There is a significant difference between a regular and a gaming laptop as the latter features higher processors, RAM, ROM, battery life, CPUs, and GPUs.
Yes. You can use a gaming laptop as a regular laptop as it has everything that you could need in a regular laptop. You will enjoy using it for every day purposes because of its high speed and performance.
Some of the major disadvantages of gaming laptops are:
· They are more expensive than regular laptops
· They are bulky and heavy.
· One of the biggest disadvantages of gaming laptops is that they do not allow degradation, and you must purchase the latest features and OS to ensure it works well for at least two years.
With their incredible speed and performance, gaming laptops are worth the money.
If you are looking for the best inexpensive gaming laptop under 50000, Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G 15.6-inches Laptop is a good choice.
We hope we helped you find an affordable laptop with a high gaming processor. While purchasing a new laptop, always pay deep attention to the configurations available and compare as much as possible. Read as many verified customer reviews as possible to make an informed decision!
Along with features like graphic card, RAM, memory, and processor, you must ensure that the laptop does not overheat, features an IPS and anti-glare screen, and has an ergonomically designed keyboard with backlighting and multitasks well. Furthermore, we recommend ditching a touch-screen laptop as a touch screen drains a lot of battery.
