Conclusion
Few things to keep in mind in this segment. The GPU used in laptops in this price range are not very powerful but you can take advantage of DLSS (only in RTX) and AMD FSSR which are becoming more mainstream.
All the laptops in this category do come with the ability to upgrade RAM and you can spend around ₹2500 to upgrade RAM and gain performance boosts and more stable performance.
If you are looking for a laptop which can do Ray Tracing, don’t. RTX 3050 is not meant for Ray Tracing. Even though it supports Ray Tracing, you will sacrifice too much performance for an insignificant visual upgrade.
The overall price-to-performance ratio (value) is more important in this category. Choose the laptop which satisfies your requirements. All the laptops in this list are good options and provide the best value relative to their price.
If you are not sure which laptop to choose, you cannot go wrong with HP Pavilion RTX 3050 or the Dell G15. If you want a more budget-oriented laptop, the MSI Bravo RX 5500M is a great option which many buyers overlook in the market.
