It’s already October and if you’re feeling the lockdown blues that won’t go away no matter how much you’ve been waiting for fall weather, you can take joy in the fact that Diwali is fast approaching. That means a lot of good things, including some amazing deals on electronics and gadgets. So if you’re thinking of buying an MSI laptop this holiday season during the MSI Diwali sale, here’s a guide we’ve put together to help you decide just which laptop will suit your needs perfectly.
Enthusiast Gamers
If you are an enthusiast gamer looking for your next gaming laptop, you are probably looking for something that can play pretty much any AAA title under the sun at 4K resolution with good frame rates. Even if you don’t want 4K, as an enthusiast, you obviously want to experience ray tracing in supported games. Well, to get performance that would satisfy an enthusiast gamer, you will need the latest processors, highest-end graphics cards, and a large amount of RAM and storage, right?
The MSI GP65 Leopard is available on Flipkart for ₹1,61,990.
On the other hand, maybe you’re not an enthusiast gamer, but you just like to play the latest games, get good graphics and frame rates, and not end up spending way too much money on your hobby. Maybe you want a laptop that offers a better price to performance ratio, or you simply don’t care about things like ray tracing or DLSS (yet). In that case, you can probably sacrifice a little in the processor and graphics card department to bring both the price down, and get a laptop that’s more of a fit for both work and play.
Finally, if you’re like me and you have to carry your laptop to work/college every day, and you don’t want a heavy back-breaking device to lug around, thin and light gaming laptops are probably your best bet. These laptops offer similar specs as the mid-range offerings in this list, but they focus a lot on being portable. That’s a big reason why these laptops offer GTX 16-series graphics cards instead of an RTX GPU.
As a creative professional, you probably want a laptop that offers high end specs including a capable graphics card. At the same time, you would want a laptop that’s thin and light, and also looks like a work machine, and not a gaming device. Plus, it should be able to handle heavy apps such as Adobe’s creative suite, or high-end graphics editing or AR apps that you might need to work on, or maybe even things like Blender and Maya.
