We are starting this list with the 2021 edition of the ROG Strix Scar 15, which comes with Zen 3-based Ryzen 9 5900Hz paired with RTX 3080 with TGP of 115W, which goes up to 130W with the Dynamic Boost.

It covers 100% of sRGB and is compatible with Adaptive Sync.
Furthermore, the laptop goes big on looks as well, with a customizable armor cap, translucent keyboard deck, and optical mechanical keyboard. The cooling setup consists of two fans, four outlet vents, and liquid metal.
Despite all these impressive specs, it is not placed any higher on this list because of its Rs. 411,000 price tag, which feels a lot for 2021 model.

Despite upgrading to a powerful 12th Gen Intel gaming laptop, Acer has not made substantial changes to thermals. It has two 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fans with 89 blades each. Likewise, the thermals are backed by liquid thermal grease and Acer’s self-developed CoolBoost solution.

Seventh on our list of the best gaming laptops in Nepal is the Asus ROG Strix G15 2022. There are a couple of variants of this laptop available in Nepal, but in this list, we will only focus on the high-end G513RM. It brings the Ryzen 9 6900HS + RTX 3060 CPU-GPU combo along with 16GB DDR5 RAM and 1TB NVMe SSD. Asus has even included the MUX switch here, which users can use to avoid the bottleneck caused by the integrated graphics.

6. Dell Alienware x14
This brings us to the Dell Alienware x14 gaming (2022), which can be a great choice for students who want to game on the go. This is because it is among the best ultraportable gaming laptop currently available in Nepal. The chassis is made using CNC-machined aluminum, magnesium alloy, and stainless steel just to make it lighter.
Still, Dell has managed to pack in the Core i7-12700H and RTX 3060 in there. The latter can fetch up to 85W with the Dynamo Boost. This particular variant is even enticing because of the use of Gallium-Silicone for thermal material and CPU vapor chamber with liquid phase.
That said, Dell had some compromises to make up for the size. The RAM on the Alienware x14 is not upgradeable, and there is no LAN port either.

5. Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022)
If you don’t like the limitations placed on the Alienware x14, you can consider the Zephyrus G14. The power-to-performance ratio offered by G14 is hard to match by any laptop. That is why it is usually the first recommendation for anyone looking for a powerful gaming machine that is also portable.
Talking about the 2022 edition, Asus has opted for an all-AMD package. The Ryzen 6900HS is paired with RX6700S which makes it compatible with SmartShift Max — AMD’s answer to Dynamic Boost.
Likewise, this year’s model also gets a MUX switch. Asus has also worked on the cooling system. The vapor chamber heatsink is now 48% larger, and there is liquid metal for both the CPU and GPU. Asus has also upgraded the Arc Flow Fans resulting in 32% more airflow and 2% quieter operation.
