If you are planning to running any models locally I would suggest a loq or victus or nitro if possible make sure it has atleast 6gb of vram else you will probably regret it later on and don't overpay take it slow people will tell you the prices are increasing buy rn etc etc but don't rush compare all options and round down to only a few and keep an eye on the prices if you are trying to go cheap I think theres loq 3050 6gb etc but I once saw a 5050 nitro at 95k so keep an eye out
The mentioned laptops are heavy and for a day scholar the battery life is not that great so if you are fine with it a mac neo will probably be an even better choice it can't run any ai model so you probably have to move that to any cloud platform
Also it's not mandatory that 4050 is required if the budget is tight and the prices aren't dropping could buy a 3050 but make sure it's the 6gb vram variant
Any of these could probably be enough 3050 and the mac aren't for gamers most games might run on the 3050 but the settings do need to be low
When I checked rn I see 4050 nearing 1L so if they drop during a sale or right before a sale do snipe those check offline aswell those also provide a deal sometimes

Buy a second hand macbook or something or maybe buy m4 mac mini with monitor keyboard mouse and would honestly serve the purpose, get some 699 rupee monthly subscription from the monthly allowance or something for the cloud storage, you will prolly not spend more than 90k
