I've been given 70K to buy a new work laptop but I can buy any laptop of my choice, so why not a gaming one? I've been a console player for years now so I don't know what to look for.

I'll play over HDMI, so I'd like the graphics to be decent on a 55" 4K TV - currently, I have an XSX and a PS4 Pro. It should last me for about 4-5 years and come with a standard 15" screen, backlit keyboard with numpad, HD camera/mic, etc. for office work and have good support (Bangalore).

I am guessing that's pretty much it, you can let me know if I am missing anything. Please note I can only buy a laptop and cannot use this money for a desktop. Also, should I wait for a sale, or is now a good time as any? TIA.
 
What kind of games do you like to play? If you're going to play over HDMI, will you still be using a controller, or a mouse and keyboard?
 
See: if you're going to play with a controller and already have an Xbox Series X, you will probably find many of the games on that platform already. You have the opportunity to really optimize for your work on your laptop - prioritizing weight and battery life, especially if you run to a bunch of meetings.

The trouble is, finding a good discrete graphics at your price range is hard. The options I'm finding are in the range of RTX 3050, which is only ok.
 
Got it. Let me try to simplify... I have a ton of free games on EGS and my brother has games on Steam, so we share. He has Alan Wake 2 on Steam which I want to play. I am okay with 1440/60 or even 1440/30 with Series S quality graphics I guess, preferrable with HDR. My work is not intensive but 70K is the budget I've been given.
 
You can consider used ones as well.

Regarding the gaming laptops, this is my trusted ranked list:
1. Lenovo Legion
2. Dell G- series

And then all others follows such as ACER, ASUS, HP and so on. Alienware is not affordable, hence out of list.

Avoid MSI, you will not get any parts for replacement, even a charger.
 
There are pretty much no deals out there right now and most of the laptops are out of stock you should wait till the end of the year or at least till Diwali to get lower prices. You should go for at least a 4060 laptop from either Lenovo, Dell, Acer or Asus as you will be able to play at 1440p with DLSS and Frame Gen and get good frame rates and it will look better on a 55 inch TV as well as there wont be that much upscaling in comparison to 1080p. This is a good laptop:

I like MSI as they offer IPS display but curious if budget can be stretched to 90k-95k between Lenovo and Dell which would be the best option? I like Dell design but not really liking the specs, a bit overpriced imo. Sub 1lac for Dell has only 3050 just like their cheapest model. Not even 3060 or 4050.

Lenovo, they offer excellent build quality and specs (a 4060) and have better cooling. At the 90-95k budget this is a good option, it has a better and more efficient cpu:
Lenovo LOQ AI Powered AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS 15.6" (39.6cm) FHD IPS 144Hz 350Nits Gaming Laptop (16GB/512GB SSD/Win 11/NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB/Office 2021/3 Month Game Pass/Storm Grey/2.4Kg), 82XT009CIN https://amzn.in/d/0bIrMWgn

Somehow, I never had a problem with Legion so far, So I vote for legion.
Someone is selling a legion in the forum now, see if that would be helpful to you.
