That looks like a home use laptop than one needed for the purpose mentioned.

Yes

Legion 5 (15 inch) AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H | AAA Title Gaming Laptop | Lenovo India

If you haven't bought already, Legion 5 with 1440p display, 5800H & 3060 is 115k. Easily a better choice than Omen.

They bought this finally but offline at a much lower price than quoted on Amazon - Lenovo Legion 7 10th Gen Intel Core i7 15.6 inch Full HD Gaming Laptop (16GB/1TB SSD/Windows 10/MS Office 2019/144 Hz/NVIDIA RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 Graphics/Slate Grey/2.25Kg), 81YU0029IN

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Just asking, for how much?

Around 1,20,000.

Compared to Omen, you just got a better build & 2GB extra VRAM. If those matter to you great, esp VRAM. CPU performance is inferior, GPU performance is similar & Omen has better battery life. So older laptops are usually not a great deal as it might seem.

I did suggest Omen but they were hesitant to buy HP due to bad servicing/reliability experience in the past.

Ah, if they have such bias, then better leave them, not much point.
