Budget 51-70k Colorful or Gigabyte for laptop?

Hey everyone,

Hope you guys are all doing well. I was planning on getting a gaming laptop recently and came across two that caught my eye.

Both cost about the same and have the exact same specs on paper. The only difference are that the Colorful one has a 2k screen and 140W TDP for the GPU (1920x1080 and 75W TDP on the Gigabyte). This is approximately a 10-20% performance difference when compared. Both offer 2 years warranties, however, Gigabyte has better service in India (I'm assuming and hoping, please share stories, both good and bad) where as at this point in time I'm not even sure what the warranty process is for Colorful.

So basically it boils down to the fact that Colorful has approx. 15% better gaming performance and a 2k screen, while Gigabyte has a better service process (again, I'm hoping) IF something were to go wrong, on a side note, what issues have you guys faced in laptop please share. Apart from catastrophic motherboard failures and battery wear, everything else should be pretty tame?

Would appreciate any input from you on this, thanks!

1440p panel is a deal breaker for a laptop. A good 1080p panel is more than enough.

Among those 2, Gigabyte would be my pick but better wait for deals on 26th. Maybe something from Lenovo or HP will go on sale. I remember that Omen with 7840HS+4060 was 90k in summer sale.

Got it. So the screen is a non-issue.

Regarding Lenovo and HP, currently any laptop with a 4060, apart from these two are in the 85k-90k range, which is out of my budget. These are available for ~73k which looked like a really good deal.
