I want to buy laptop confused between 2 acer models with above processor & GPU combo. The one with rtx 3050 is ₹2000 higher than the other. Is it worth spending the extra?

Share the specifications of both laptops and total price

For gaming, 3050 is worth the extra money. I hope both cost 60k or so

4GB graphics is quite low. If you can get 3050 with6Gb or 4050 with 6gb vram then gaming will be better as you will be able to load higher res textures.
Otherwise 3050 is anyday better than 2050.

True

But beyond 60k, VFM is weird until you get 4060 for 80k or lower.
