71-90K Need a laptop for casual gaming and college

[SagnikPradhan]

Looking for a laptop for my sister, she's been using a beat-down Athlon laptop. She wants to play games like Call of duty warzone, but she also would probably play other big titles. She is also looking to keep it for a long while. In terms of battery as long as it lasts for 6 hours or so with light usage, she is okay with it. She also doesn't care about how the laptop looks or how heavy it would be.

IMHO, 16 GB RAM and anything more than 4 (P) cores is the minimum right?

Gaming laptops will not have great battery life. And, they will be heavy which in your case is no problem.

Have a look at the Lenovo Legion series, Asus Strix series, and HP Victus series. Acer Nitro is lower in terms of quality, that's the general perception & experience.

Thinking something among these

Legion 5 (3060 Edition)
Lenovo LOQ (4060 Edition)

There's also the option of Asus TUF, but I have not heard anything good about them from friends. There's also Gigabyte from Flipkart and Acer Nitro with 4070TI on Amazon, but I am not sure about their qualities either.

Might physically go to a shop tomorrow and see for myself.

Legion 5 is good VFM.

Asus TUF is the lower range of the Asus gaming range. Drop Acer, has QC issues.

Just in case this might help, not hijacking your topic.
I am as well looking for laptop in approximately same range and usage.

Are you sure she wants all this? It feels like the brother himself is trying to score a spec'd out gaming laptop.
JK.

Ended up getting the Legion 5 (5800H + 3060) Got it for like 89K INR at one of the Lenovo Exclusive stores nearby. Funny deal is how they had a similar model with different model number, that was priced 10K more, IDK how but after a few calls, got the same model for the price I saw online. Paid another 3K for additional 2 years of warranty (accidental damages included!)
