5 best travel-friendly gaming laptops in India

tech.hindustantimes.com:

Gaming laptops are a great way to enjoy your favourite games without the hassle of building a PC or having it occupy permanent space on a desk. The only trouble with most gaming laptops is that they are not exactly the most portable of machines. They generally tend to be quite chunky when closed and many aren't exactly lightweight. This is a problem if you wish to travel with your gaming laptop, as the size and weight can be uncomfortable to lug around in a backpack or on a plane. There are some exceptions though, which are slim and lightweight without compromising on performance.

To narrow down the best gaming laptops for travel, we've set a threshold for the weight and thickness for what laptop qualifies in this list. We've not limited the display size since smaller screens don't exactly offer the most immersive gaming experience. As long as the laptop is around 20mm slim when closed and the weight is around 2kg (or less), such models are good to travel with. There are plenty of options in India, but here are some of my favourites that I've picked based on personal experience and value for money.

The MSI Stealth A16 AI+ is a new addition to the company's Stealth series and should be going on sale in India soon. The reason for picking this is the excellent combination of high-end components and a portable design. Despite having a 16-inch display, the Stealth A16 AI+ weighs just 2.1kg and is only 19.9mm slim, making it easily portable. I also love the understated look with the all-matte black finish with no RGB lighting anywhere, except for the keyboard.

This laptop is also future-ready as come November, it will be officially getting Copilot+ features in Windows 11. The Stealth A16 AI+ is powered by AMD's top-end Ryzen AI 9 HX370 CPU which has a built-in NPU with 50 TOPS on its own. There's up to 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD (with a second M.2 slot), and a choice between an Nvidia RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 GPU. Gaming on
