I’m using Sony headphones and they sound great (not an audiophile, but my friend with AirPods vouches for it after he used it recently)
A tad hundred over your budget though, but I feel it’s a good unit
You can look at this Asus Vivobook 15
The Hp isn’t bad, it’s 12th gen intel, but 70k is too much to ask for that price. Had this same iGPU laptop been 60k, it would’ve been fine, but 70k is too much
I’m personally continuing to use the calc I used in 12th (yes ISC allows calc) since I don’t require any specific features
If you want proper gaming laptop, I’d suggest the Asus Strix G17 6800H/3060 16/1024 at 143K
You can also see the HP Omen i7-12700H/3070 16/1024 (friend from school has this model but diff config) 175k
Else if you want more focus on battery life, you can check out the MacBook Air M2 16/512 at 148k after student discount
You can also look at M1Pro MacBook Pro 14” 16/512 at 175K (better value than MacBook Air m2 due to miniLED screen and more GPU performance in addition to more ports)
If you want windows ultrabooks,
12th gen are above my budget too, i.e why I was considering this: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09TNXY3QF . I will wait for the price to drop. (Diwali Sale or Flipkart Sale maybe).
Comparing at similar price points just makes a lot more sense, the closest comparison to a m1 would be rtx 20/30 series where it does win in certain native video/audio editors but loses in everything else.

Here's 2022 Zephyrus, costs a bit cheaper than a similarly specced m1 macbook air. Doesn't have a worse built quality or screen and the performance is....well you already know. It's simple, buy macbooks for ecosystem/battery, buy windows for performance. The huge factor for macbooks is huge import taxes which makes the prices absurd, I really wish they start manufacturing/assembling here soon
check this out perhaps . One of the features in Asus TUF series is durability and from personal anecdotes, their laptops are indeed tuf. Don't fret about it being a "gaming laptop", I just feel like a dedicated gpu is necessary for future-proofing
I was in the same situation you were in with the same budget, a week ago. I ended up buying the Asus zephyrus G14.
Currently I’m not planning to buy any laptop but Asus G14 is a good choice if you want windows
77K rn, 8/512 but you can buy another 8GB stick for ₹5K
Frankly the only gaming laptop I’d consider as it is rather portable for the power (just like the MBA13”) and gets better battery life due to ryzen than other intel gaming laptops.
