How's gigabyte in terms of thermals and build quality tho? Is it safe to buy them for at least two years or so?

Gigabyte doesn't make there own laptops it is basically a OEM laptop from some company like clevo or xmg etc, the thermals won't be great and the after sales is also not great, you would have to make sure there is a service centre in your area first. If you only have to use it for a year or two you might be able to get by but I won't call it reliable.

The MSI choice will offer relatively better after sales service I think but the story with thermals wouldn't be much different.

Honestly under 70k you can't really get a good all rounder gaming laptop especially right now when there is no major sale going on, you might be able to find a better deal during a Diwali, Christmas, Independence Day or Black friday sale but even then you will have to compromise on either reliability and service or performance.

I would recommend going with the Lenovo LOQ 4050, even if any problem develops you will still be under warranty for 2 years if you get the extra warranty which isn't much more.

That's what I was considering as well, well other than used laptops. Speaking of pre owned stuff, how is gameloot for buying laptops? I've been eyeing a few models there for a while, is it safe to buy from them?

I get that, but are they safe to buy from? As in, will I get a decent product and not get scammed?

In my opinion, if you know and trust the seller well enough than go for refrub/pre-owned, else for peace of mind I would recommend to buy a new one in your budget and specific requirements. I have noticed even Flopkart can scam and then make excuses for replacement, so it's pretty much dependent on your luck to buy from those as well. I'm not against any invididual or company, this is just my observation and personal view.

Makes sense, I guess I'll stick to the big sites or just go offline and see the product in person before buying it.
