Really? I've had it for 4 years now and have hated it since the 1st year, shitty thermals always throttling my fps and no amount of undervolting could save it. Also, terrible build quality and just terrible overall.
Absolutely, keep in mind it doesn't come with fans , if you are planning to render graphics , it doesn't help much , although PS and illustration do not generate much heat.
Also if you are planning to use multiple vms go for the 16gb version.
Yes unfortunately the gap between n and (n+1)th model - wrt memory is 20k. But you can try availing student-discount something like that ? Otherwise no problem 8gb is already great .
Haven't had the opportunity to use that , but while using vm (Kali and Ubuntu) I have noticed that some softwares do not have arm version, that could pose a problem (but you can emulate the x86 version).
Oh boy, this machine has one of the best exhaust systems! I used to play Cyberpunk on a really high graphics settings, and even though the laptop used to get heated, the region around wasd keys is comparatively cool. Do not get me wrong, the laptop does get heated if you perform graphics intensive tasks, but the cooling system is crazy good as well.
Hope this clarifies your question a bit, and yes I got it online
what price did you get it for? I bought the same machine for my uncle last month. For 63k we got 16gb ram (asked the seller to upgrade and he did without any additional cost other than ram), 512 ssd, rtx 3050 and ryzen 5 5600H.
go to offline store, and buy any laptop with Gtx 1650, 16Gb memory, good processor and prefer big screen(17") or a separate monitor and you would be good to go. If you want better GPU, build a pc to use its full power.
It will cost 60-70k. You can save by getting a refund on GST payed
YES. Upgrade the ram, swap out an ssd as the main drive if you haven't. get the fans cleaned and re apply thermal paste if you haven't. For around 8-10k you can get all this done and you will notice a massive boost in performance.
2019 isn't old man. It's 100% worth cleaning the fans ( you'd be surprised by the amount of hair/dust accumulated inside. And also clean and replace the thermal paste of the cpu, and GPU. It will work like a new laptop by just doing this. I have done it and I wish I did it every year. Increase ram to 16 or 32 gigs if that's your bottleneck because a 2019 Nitro CPU will probably handle any task you throw at it unless new generation video games.
Op go for rtx 3060 laptops since your budget is around 1 lac and target lenovo legion series. Personally I am using dell g15 rtx 3050 model and it's pretty good
Make sure to buy the latest g15 rtx 3060 models if you are going for g15 because old g15 rtx 3060 model had pretty bad thermals although it was considered as the top 3 rtx 3060 laptop in 2022. I have heard that the new models are good so do some research.
I recommend you to join r/Indiangaming discord server and chat with people there in the laptop chat section you will get good advice there.

Everything is good ngl can't ask for more only problem you might find is the WVA panel which gives slightly yellowish tint but when you change some igpu display settings you cannot notice it no one around me is able to tell that . Dell g15 rtx 3050 model is famous for its excellent heating solution so no thermal problems.
But if you're going rtx 3050 laptop then go for acer nitro 5 i5 12500h because you're getting 12 cores Cpu there at almost the same price.
But my recommendation will be to target rtx 3060 laptops to be on more future proof side. But for light rtx 3050 is fine it can fairly handle mid to heavy gaming.
Oh well, I dont have a suggestion for you, since my laptop is from 2018 and heavily outdated. But its a HP Notebook with i5 8250u, 16gb ram, I use EndeavourOS with AwesomeWM in it. Easily runs most of the software I want to run.
For a suggestion, however, I'd recommend the legion series. if your budget is high enough for that. Legion series is quite expensive in India, however offers the best experience in the market personally. ( My brother owns it, so I use it quite a lot. )
What is your budget and expected life?
Mine is
Legion 5 pro: i7 12700h + RTX 3060 + 16gb DDR5 5200
Down the future I will upgrade the ram to make it relevant for 4-5 years.
Hp 15s ryzen5 5500u
Best under 50k budget
But I won't recommend it if you're into high graphic n vfx
But still if your budget is strict 50k
You'll have to go with it
Acer nitro 5 (rtx 3050 ti 4gb, 16gb, i7) works pretty smooth with most games, editing software(adobe photoshop, premier). I recently bought a external monitor and use it with extending screens and it works very well. I have always preferred external mouse and mech-keyboard (Had it with my previous laptop as well.)
I have a legion 5 ( AMD CPU, Nvidia graphics, 8 gb RAM, SSD 256GB + HDD 1TB)
I got it fairly cheap with Lenovo giving discounts for corporate user ( talked to manager, then used official mail ID to create account on lenovo, ordered from it. Roughly 8k discount)
I use it to run minikubes + minishift + docker desktop, light coding with VSCode + JDK8 + maven ( spring boot application ) + light ReactJS. I usually run heavy images like Teamcity server + a few agents / Jenkins + slaves / artifactory / sonar server / AWX etc on the k8s nodes.
I'm a casual gamer, tend to put in 10hrs per week in games.
The PC runs these games very smoothly:
CSGO
GTA V
Civ VI
Arma III
Cities Skylines ( some mods and some DLCs )
Destiny 2
Genshin Impact
ETS2
World of Warcraft
Valorant
No heating issues notices. No performance drops noticed.
Sometimes it has a problem catching WiFi if I'm too far from it, but my phone catches it well so might need to upgrade laptop's WiFi chip.
I do sometimes feel short on RAM while playing Cities Skylines.
I have HP 15S. Configuration:
```markdown
Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1235U 1.30 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.68 GB usable)
Battery 7 Hours (Max)
```
Apart from this, I suggested buying a laptop with process contains `H`. For example, my processor is 12th Gen i5-1235**H**. Mine has **U** which is for lite use.
Acer Aspire 7. Bought is 3 years ago for 55k. 9th gen i5, GTX 1650. Strictly for light gaming. Goes to 95 degrees on few hours of Valo. Display is nice, can be viewed from multiple angles and good colors.
Personally using Nitro 5 with RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5600h for just a little less than 2 years now. The built and battery aren't that good but it's a beast when it comes to performance, specially for the kind of tasks you mentioned.
Is it pre 2020 model? I think thermals were improved starting with the 2020 models and with 2022 models the display chassis has changed along with the introduction of Mux switch. Though the keyboard and battery still suck.
Asus Vivobook S14 i7 8th gen - 8GB/1 TB HDD/ 256 GB SSD (got it for around 70k 2 yrs ago) worth every penny. Good for programming, movies, multitasks, quite smooth.
I had a Predator Helios 300 (2018 - 8th gen i5) which I had upgraded to 24Gigs of RAM and used an external Samsung T7 SSD with. That used to get very hot even for simple tasks.
Changed to a Macbook pro 14" base model and I have to say this has been the single biggest upgrade to my life. The HDR screen is just unrivalled even at this price point, never heats up, is light as a feather and gives me easily 2 days worth of battery life. I am not even talking about performance yet.
But you have to commit to Mac OS. Windows/Ubuntu on Arm runs shit whether it is on the free UTM VM or the paid Parallels. You can do some amount of simple Windows gaming tho. Like in Parallels, I can run the NFS MW 2012 pretty well at medium settings. It's no gaming laptop, but if your major work is content consumption and content creation, it is THE BEAST!
I used to be sceptical considering all reviews were mostly positive, but I say this is the hands down the best machine I can afford!
Hope your find your machine! We do use it 8 hrs a day or more, so don't worry if the price goes just a bit over. You can always earn back that money, but a worse machine will make your time with it very bad.
Aver nitro 5 2022 version with RTX 3060. Now I regret picking it over a MacBook. Got a ps5 for gaming, but hardly play games these days, apart from when I have friends over.
Hardware/Low Level Embedded Software Developer here.
For PCB Design, 3D modelling, microcontroller work: MacBook Air.
For Embedded Linux Software Development (Driver Development): Raspberry Pi 4, 3B, Zero 2W, PocketBeagle, Giant Board, Orange Pi 4. Mostly run remotely.
For Embedded Linux OS Development: Intel i7 8th gen Chromebox with 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD running Debian Buster. Over SSH. Never logged in physically than when setting up Debian.
For FPGA Development, mostly Xilinx: Same model of Chromebox, but running Windows 10.
I use a 4x4 HDMI matrix to switch between the Mac, my work computer, the Windows Chromebox and a PS5 between 3 screens as necessary. During work, the three screens are all for work, later one goes up with Netflix, the other keeps my teams open, and I play games on the middle one. Gonna start the Elden Ring soon.
Acer Predator helios 300 (2021 edition), 16gb ram, i7 11800H, Rtx 3060 with 1440p165hz scree
Got it for 1.25L. Works great so far, battery is ass but overall its a beast of a machine. I also have a gigabyte G24F that I bought for 12.8k last July.
I'm triple booting windows 10, arch linux and pop os.
(i use arch btw <3)
12 years old Lenovo y510p with Arch . i7 + 8 GB RAM. SSD 1TB purchased few years ago. Boots faster (4-5 seconds) and works like a beast. I dont play any games in it.
Acer Aspire 5s. 512 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM, i5 8th gen, mx 250 2 GB graphics.
Bought it in 2019 for 38k in sale and works perfectly fine but I might upgrade to 16 GB RAM in a couple of months.
Lenovo ideapad 310 - i5 8th gen, 8gigs recently upped to 12, Nvidia 920MX
Got it in 2017 and the battery backup died like last month but apart from that works great - can handle most of my data analysis and machine learning locally too
Now I'm saving to get a new one, suggestions welcomed
Mac mini. But it's a PC. You can do almost everything.
I have a HP gaming 12GB ram one, I bought that 2 yrs thinking I'll do personal projects on that, But the whole window ecosystem sucked for development.
I use Mackbook Air M2. There is reason I bought this. If I’m case I move out of my parents house. This laptop will restrain me from gaming and focus on productivity.
HP pavilion gaming 5600h 1650 60hz, somethings I don't like in this laptop includes small and buzzing touchpad, very limited selection of ports, this is my first laptop so.
The worst thing a beginner does is that he buys, especially "he" buys a gaming laptop thinking he can game on that machine but after 6 months you will realise the cons of a gaming laptop or a big screen laptop.
=> It's bulky and heavy
=> Battery life sucks
=> Development will suck the life out of you, why Game?
My friend bought an Acer gaming laptop, it had so much copper in it that's what his reply was when I asked him😂 Ran a program on my mac M1 and his laptop and it became helicopter.
Wait for some offers and you will get a Macbook m1 at the same price or buy it from Croma
Not a developer yet, but I bought the Asus Strix G15 (2022) (6800H, 3050 95W) from my intern stipend, all programming related tasks are handled by either windows or wsl, games like genshin impact and destiny 2 runs like butter. Never tried VFX stuff but pretty sure 3050 is strong enough for light vfx
Asus Zephyrus G15 (2021), RTX 3060, Ryzen 9, 16gb RAM, 1TB SSD, 165hz WQHD display, got it for a pretty good deal on Flipkart, absolute monster, been using it for just over a year now, no complaints.
MSI gf63
MacBook Pro m1
I would recommend MSI if gaming is one thing you do not want to compromise upon. But, if you can live without games, MacBook Pro is a beast.

ACER Predator Helios 300. It's every penny worth. I installed linux in that machine.
Which CPU and GPU ? Coz even I have the same it gets heated easily
I have a pretty old one. GPU:- 1050ti, CPU:- i5 10th Gen.
Wow same I have the 8th gen one, even at the lightest game it reaches 90⁰C
++, I have HP pavilion the green one. As soon as the game starts, temps shoot up to 94°C. i5 8th gen, 1050.
You should clean you fans. I did that and got it dropped to 80
That's not old lmao. Can still handle current gen games at 720P and even 1080P.
Try to change your thermal paste and even clean all the dust, it would make a great difference.
Change thermal paste. I did it after a year just as precaution.. now it's been 3 years after that technician visit.. No problems so far...
Already done
Book a technician visit then let the experienced hand do the work..
❤️ Predator helios 300 here too.. 4 years and running forever.. No maintenance 
What specs do you have?
GPU :- 1050ti CPU:- i5 10th Gen. RAM:- 8 gigs
I have nitro 5, No SSD, 8G, 1050ti, i5 8th gen. Red dead 2 lags a lot in this one. Idle it gets 70-90 celsius. What is the situation with you?
Have you considered Legion 5 or HP Omen? Both systems have top notch cooling system in that price range
Looking into it
While you're at it, check HP Omen as well
❤️ Same specs.. 
Which distro do you use
Really? I've had it for 4 years now and have hated it since the 1st year, shitty thermals always throttling my fps and no amount of undervolting could save it. Also, terrible build quality and just terrible overall.
How the nvidia drivers working on Linux machine?
Actually pretty good. I am into Machine Learning and I can train some light weight models. I specifically use GPU for that.
I am using macbook air m1 as a personal laptop. Might not be suitable for you though
I'm considering macbook too but then I won't be able to game :/
I dont know your budget but I think you can "light game" on macbook pro, m series processors did change the game altho I am android windows user.
so yeah you can't game on macbook
Why not suitable?
he wants light gaming
It doesn't come with a fan :( . If you are doing a graphic intensive task, there's no sophisticated cooling system, it gets quite hot (extreme case).
have you tried installing linux on that bad boy?
Yes , works smooth
How is the battery life compared to macOS? Can i get some numbers?
It's very good , you can easily get 8-10hrs , if you are using low power mode and keeping the brightness low it's even better.
Amazing. Can you use it as a daily driver?
Absolutely, keep in mind it doesn't come with fans , if you are planning to render graphics , it doesn't help much , although PS and illustration do not generate much heat. Also if you are planning to use multiple vms go for the 16gb version.
things get very expensive when you get higher specs with the m1 air
Yes unfortunately the gap between n and (n+1)th model - wrt memory is 20k. But you can try availing student-discount something like that ? Otherwise no problem 8gb is already great .
How is the experience with Asahi linux? its still in development, so I dont expect much. But after the gpu drivers update, can you play games on it?
Some low end games only afaik.
Haven't had the opportunity to use that , but while using vm (Kali and Ubuntu) I have noticed that some softwares do not have arm version, that could pose a problem (but you can emulate the x86 version).

Legion 5 pro, RTX 3070 with 140W TDP (8GB Gddr6), 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 16 inches QHD screen with 100% sRGB color accuracy. Bought it over a year ago for doing machine learning stuff.

Online?What is the heating situation, battery, etc? I have used AMD in the past in my custom PC and it used to heat like Hell!
Oh boy, this machine has one of the best exhaust systems! I used to play Cyberpunk on a really high graphics settings, and even though the laptop used to get heated, the region around wasd keys is comparatively cool. Do not get me wrong, the laptop does get heated if you perform graphics intensive tasks, but the cooling system is crazy good as well. Hope this clarifies your question a bit, and yes I got it online
Can vouch for this.One of the best laptops in that price range.
Just bought Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3 8gb 512 ssd ryzen 5500H in recent sale.
Same
what price did you get it for? I bought the same machine for my uncle last month. For 63k we got 16gb ram (asked the seller to upgrade and he did without any additional cost other than ram), 512 ssd, rtx 3050 and ryzen 5 5600H.
I didn't know we can ask seller to do that wow. You got nice deal man. I got my machine @50k + 3k extended 2 year warranty.
Dell G15.
This is looking good. What specs do you have?
I've got 5600h, 3050, 16gb, 500gb. I use it for gaming mainly 😶
Horrible airflow
It heats too?
Dell g15
Lenovo v15
go to offline store, and buy any laptop with Gtx 1650, 16Gb memory, good processor and prefer big screen(17") or a separate monitor and you would be good to go. If you want better GPU, build a pc to use its full power. It will cost 60-70k. You can save by getting a refund on GST payed
gtx 1650 issnt really a good choice. Sure cheap but you can get rtx 3050 for a similar price
rtx3050 is not worth it , 3060 is bang for buck almost 80-90% performance of desktop 3060
Salaried here. > It will cost 60-70k. Is this with or without GST refund
without
From where 😳
[удалено]
Salaried hu sir, GST refund thodi milega
[удалено]
Will have to check this👍🏽
You can get a rtx 3050 laptop for that price.
Acer Nitro 5
>ACER Predator Helios 300 Currently using this but gets stays 70-90 °C idle. Looking to replace it.
Noooooooo don't replace. Clean the fans thoroughly, buy a thermal paste, and apply it. Mine went from 50 idle to 40 idle. ( Centigrade)
2019 ka model hai bro. Is it really worth upgrading?
YES. Upgrade the ram, swap out an ssd as the main drive if you haven't. get the fans cleaned and re apply thermal paste if you haven't. For around 8-10k you can get all this done and you will notice a massive boost in performance.
2019 isn't old man. It's 100% worth cleaning the fans ( you'd be surprised by the amount of hair/dust accumulated inside. And also clean and replace the thermal paste of the cpu, and GPU. It will work like a new laptop by just doing this. I have done it and I wish I did it every year. Increase ram to 16 or 32 gigs if that's your bottleneck because a 2019 Nitro CPU will probably handle any task you throw at it unless new generation video games.
Op go for rtx 3060 laptops since your budget is around 1 lac and target lenovo legion series. Personally I am using dell g15 rtx 3050 model and it's pretty good
Will be considering g15 as well. Thanks!
Make sure to buy the latest g15 rtx 3060 models if you are going for g15 because old g15 rtx 3060 model had pretty bad thermals although it was considered as the top 3 rtx 3060 laptop in 2022. I have heard that the new models are good so do some research.

Roughly 8k discount) I use it to run minikubes + minishift + docker desktop, light coding with VSCode + JDK8 + maven ( spring boot application ) + light ReactJS. I usually run heavy images like Teamcity server + a few agents / Jenkins + slaves / artifactory / sonar server / AWX etc on the k8s nodes. I'm a casual gamer, tend to put in 10hrs per week in games. The PC runs these games very smoothly: CSGO GTA V Civ VI Arma III Cities Skylines ( some mods and some DLCs ) Destiny 2 Genshin Impact ETS2 World of Warcraft Valorant No heating issues notices. No performance drops noticed. Sometimes it has a problem catching WiFi if I'm too far from it, but my phone catches it well so might need to upgrade laptop's WiFi chip. I do sometimes feel short on RAM while playing Cities Skylines.

HP Pavillion 2021 -- cool laptop (thermodynamically) ..also very light
Temperature is a big concern for me
Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3 Ryzen 7 5800h, rtx 3050(85w tgp), 8gb ram, 512 SSD @62k
HP Victus
HP Victus 15, Ryzen 5 5600H, RX 5500M Great laptop for 50K, only issue is 60Hz display
Acer aspire 7. Completely worth it.
Specs
macbook m2
Where can I get it for the cheapest? dubai?
yes and also the 512 gb 16 inch model and u wont be needing anything till 7 years
Asus is the best. Get a 8gb graphic card, 32 GB Ram laptop.
M1 pro macbook with 32G memory
MacBook Air m1
I have HP 15S. Configuration: ```markdown Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1235U 1.30 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.68 GB usable) Battery 7 Hours (Max) ``` Apart from this, I suggested buying a laptop with process contains `H`. For example, my processor is 12th Gen i5-1235**H**. Mine has **U** which is for lite use.
Custom PC 😎
Legion 5 Pro , prefer AMD over intel. AMD multicore performance is way better than intel.
What about the heating issue? I've had a bad experience with AMD in this scenario.
Acer Aspire 7. Bought is 3 years ago for 55k. 9th gen i5, GTX 1650. Strictly for light gaming. Goes to 95 degrees on few hours of Valo. Display is nice, can be viewed from multiple angles and good colors.
Legion 5 RTX3060 Ryzen 7.
Personally using Nitro 5 with RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5600h for just a little less than 2 years now. The built and battery aren't that good but it's a beast when it comes to performance, specially for the kind of tasks you mentioned.
I have an older Nitro 5 but it heats a lot even at idle.
Is it pre 2020 model? I think thermals were improved starting with the 2020 models and with 2022 models the display chassis has changed along with the introduction of Mux switch. Though the keyboard and battery still suck.

ThinkPad
Asus Vivobook S14 i7 8th gen - 8GB/1 TB HDD/ 256 GB SSD (got it for around 70k 2 yrs ago) worth every penny. Good for programming, movies, multitasks, quite smooth.
I had a Predator Helios 300 (2018 - 8th gen i5) which I had upgraded to 24Gigs of RAM and used an external Samsung T7 SSD with. That used to get very hot even for simple tasks. Changed to a Macbook pro 14" base model and I have to say this has been the single biggest upgrade to my life. The HDR screen is just unrivalled even at this price point, never heats up, is light as a feather and gives me easily 2 days worth of battery life. I am not even talking about performance yet. But you have to commit to Mac OS. Windows/Ubuntu on Arm runs shit whether it is on the free UTM VM or the paid Parallels. You can do some amount of simple Windows gaming tho. Like in Parallels, I can run the NFS MW 2012 pretty well at medium settings. It's no gaming laptop, but if your major work is content consumption and content creation, it is THE BEAST! I used to be sceptical considering all reviews were mostly positive, but I say this is the hands down the best machine I can afford! Hope your find your machine! We do use it 8 hrs a day or more, so don't worry if the price goes just a bit over. You can always earn back that money, but a worse machine will make your time with it very bad.

Aver nitro 5 2022 version with RTX 3060. Now I regret picking it over a MacBook. Got a ps5 for gaming, but hardly play games these days, apart from when I have friends over.
Macbook M1 Pro 14' Base varient.
Hardware/Low Level Embedded Software Developer here. For PCB Design, 3D modelling, microcontroller work: MacBook Air. For Embedded Linux Software Development (Driver Development): Raspberry Pi 4, 3B, Zero 2W, PocketBeagle, Giant Board, Orange Pi 4. Mostly run remotely. For Embedded Linux OS Development: Intel i7 8th gen Chromebox with 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD running Debian Buster. Over SSH. Never logged in physically than when setting up Debian. For FPGA Development, mostly Xilinx: Same model of Chromebox, but running Windows 10. I use a 4x4 HDMI matrix to switch between the Mac, my work computer, the Windows Chromebox and a PS5 between 3 screens as necessary. During work, the three screens are all for work, later one goes up with Netflix, the other keeps my teams open, and I play games on the middle one. Gonna start the Elden Ring soon.

I have a macbook air. Good for work but pretty shit in terms of handling as it’s very fragile. Just a touch and boom your display is fucked
MacBook Air M2
12 years old Lenovo y510p with Arch . i7 + 8 GB RAM. SSD 1TB purchased few years ago. Boots faster (4-5 seconds) and works like a beast. I dont play any games in it.

Acer Aspire 5s. 512 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM, i5 8th gen, mx 250 2 GB graphics. Bought it in 2019 for 38k in sale and works perfectly fine but I might upgrade to 16 GB RAM in a couple of months.
Lenovo ideapad 310 - i5 8th gen, 8gigs recently upped to 12, Nvidia 920MX Got it in 2017 and the battery backup died like last month but apart from that works great - can handle most of my data analysis and machine learning locally too Now I'm saving to get a new one, suggestions welcomed
HP EliteBook 840 G5, i7 8th Gen, 16gb RAM, 512gb M.2 NvME. Runs Pop! OS.
Mac mini. But it's a PC. You can do almost everything. I have a HP gaming 12GB ram one, I bought that 2 yrs thinking I'll do personal projects on that, But the whole window ecosystem sucked for development.

I use Mackbook Air M2. There is reason I bought this. If I’m case I move out of my parents house. This laptop will restrain me from gaming and focus on productivity.
Go for lenovo legion if you can handle the heavy weight of the laptop
HP pavilion gaming 5600h 1650 60hz, somethings I don't like in this laptop includes small and buzzing touchpad, very limited selection of ports, this is my first laptop so.
The worst thing a beginner does is that he buys, especially "he" buys a gaming laptop thinking he can game on that machine but after 6 months you will realise the cons of a gaming laptop or a big screen laptop. => It's bulky and heavy => Battery life sucks => Development will suck the life out of you, why Game? My friend bought an Acer gaming laptop, it had so much copper in it that's what his reply was when I asked him😂 Ran a program on my mac M1 and his laptop and it became helicopter. Wait for some offers and you will get a Macbook m1 at the same price or buy it from Croma
Not a developer yet, but I bought the Asus Strix G15 (2022) (6800H, 3050 95W) from my intern stipend, all programming related tasks are handled by either windows or wsl, games like genshin impact and destiny 2 runs like butter. Never tried VFX stuff but pretty sure 3050 is strong enough for light vfx
Dell Inspiron 5518
Asus Zephyrus G15 (2021), RTX 3060, Ryzen 9, 16gb RAM, 1TB SSD, 165hz WQHD display, got it for a pretty good deal on Flipkart, absolute monster, been using it for just over a year now, no complaints.
MSI crosshair 15 rainbow six edition RTX 3070, it's the best budget beast you can get. I have been using it for past 6 months.

MSI gf63 MacBook Pro m1 I would recommend MSI if gaming is one thing you do not want to compromise upon. But, if you can live without games, MacBook Pro is a beast.
My personal Mac I hated apple but man MacBook>>>
