Hey everyone, I’m planning to buy a new laptop mainly for coding, college, and occasional light gaming. My budget is up to ₹70,000. What I want: • 16 GB RAM (important) • Processor: Intel i5 (H series) or AMD Ryzen 7 (ideally H series) • Good thermals and long-lasting CPU performance • Solid build quality and keyboard for coding • Preferably 512 GB SSD or more I’ll be using it mostly for programming, running IDEs (VS Code, Android Studio, etc.), maybe some containerization/virtual machines in the future. Battery life is a bonus but not deal-breaking. Questions: Which laptops in this price bracket would you recommend? Any models worth waiting for during upcoming sales? Brands with good after-sales service in India? Thanks in advance!

Looking at this HP Victus: Ryzen 7 7445HS, RTX 2050 4GB, 16GB DDR5 (upgradeable), 512GB SSD, 15.6" FHD 144Hz 300 nits IPS. How’s it coding, 1080p gaming, thermals/noise, screen quality, and battery life and overall performance? Is RTX 2050 still okay or too weak now? Would love real user feedback.
