Best Gaming Laptops in Nepal Under Rs. 120,000 (रु 1.2 Lakhs) [2025]

With time, the gaming laptop market has become segmented. You can choose from the budget, mid-range, or flagship categories. Here, we've compiled a list of the best budget midrange gaming laptops under NPR 120000 (1.2 lakh) currently available in Nepal. If you are looking to game on your laptop, a specialized "gaming laptop" will provide you with a much better experience than regular notebooks and ultrabooks. The barrier to entry for most gaming laptops available in Nepal is around the 1 lakh rupee mark. Here, we have curated a list of the best available laptops under 120000.

How to choose a gaming laptop under NPR 120000 in Nepal?

Let's first start with the things that you should consider before buying an entry-level gaming laptop. At this price range, you can't hope to blaze through heavy games, but most titles should be playable without many hiccups. The most readily available GPU for laptops in this segment is going to be an RTX 3050 (6GB) with DLSS support. Or even RTX 4050 with DLSS 3 and Frame Generation support if you're lucky. As for CPU, you can go with either Intel or AMD as long as you are getting the H-series processors (Intel 13/14th Gen or Ryzen 7000/8000 series). The Intel Core i5-13420H and the i5-12450H are currently DOMINANT in this segment, but under the hood, they are pretty much the same chip with slightly different clocks. Instead, pay more attention to RAM and storage. Most gaming laptops under NPR 1.2 lakh in Nepal ship with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD, which is not enough for gaming in the long run. So, upgrade to 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD whenever you can, even if it means going over the budget by a bit. 144Hz refresh rate screens are common, but unless you are into competitive gaming, it should not bother you much, even if the machine is at 120Hz. Most laptops in this price range come with panels with 250 nits of brightness and 45% of NTSC coverage. Things like portable form factor, metal body, MUX switch, and RGB backlighting are rare.

Our number two pick on our list of best gaming laptops in Nepal under NPR 120000 is the Acer Nitro V 15. It's equipped with the powerful 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H — but more importantly — you're getting RTX 4050 graphics here.
