Laptops that you can buy under Php20,000

Nowadays, laptops are one of the most important gadgets in our everyday life as we can use it for work, school, and entertainment. That said, we all need a laptop that can accommodate our needs without breaking the bank. This is where this guide comes along.

Laptops under 20000 (20K) pesos

We listed down laptops that you can buy under Php20,000 that is good for average work and casual entertainment such as watching videos. Don’t expect gaming in these laptops, though. Php20,000 whilst a lot of money is still not yet capable of gaming at a decent performance level (unless your game is candy crush)..

This guide is for those who are on a budget and is looking for a good laptop that can attend to their specific needs without breaking the bank. If you can spend a bit more, go check out our Laptops within Php30,000 for an average casual gaming performance. If you’re planning on buying a PC though we suggest you check out our Php 20,000 AMD PC Build Guide and Php20,000 Intel PC Build guide.

Lenovo 100S-14IBR – Php16,500

The first on our list is the Lenovo 100S-14IBR. It’s powered by an Intel Celeron N3050 and 4GB of RAM, accompanied by a 128GB SSD with a 14″ display and a 2-cell battery.

Specs wise this isn’t the best laptop on the list but it is good enough if you’re someone who frequently uses Microsoft 11 Word all the time – and the cheapest. If you’re someone who’s one a budget and isn’t planning on gaming or any sort of CPU/GPU intensive task, then this laptop is good enough for you. We saw stocks at Gilmore and Dynaquest 18 is currently selling one as well.

Acer Z1402-32G0 – Php19,500

Specifications
Processor	Intel Core i3-5005U
Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 5500
RAM	2GB 1600Mhz
Storage	500GB SATA HDD
Size	14″ (1366×768) Display
Operating System	Windows 10 Home Edition
Battery	4-Cell
Available Colors	Charcoal Black

Moving up the bracket is the Acer Z1402-32G0. This laptop is powered by an Intel Core i3-5005U, 2GB of 1600Mhz RAM, and 500GB of storage space. Unlike the Lenovo 100S-14IBR, the Acer Z1402-32G0 is Php3,000 more expensive but makes up to it by having a faster and more efficient processor, significantly more but slower storage space (an SSD has faster read/write speeds than a HDD), and an expected longer battery life thanks to its 4-Cell battery.

This is a better choice if you’re someone who is still not that intensive when using the PC/Laptop, but is always on the go and has numerous files to store. Still isn’t recommended even if you plan on playing Dota 2 at the lowest settings. This can be bought via order or pickup at DynaquestPC

Lenovo 100-14IBD – Php19,900

Specifications
Processor	Intel Core i3-5005u
Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 5500
RAM	4GB 1600Mhz
Storage	1TB HDD
Size	14″ (1366×768) Display
Operating System	Windows 10 Home Edition
Battery	4-Cell
Available Colors	Black

For an additional Php400 you get twice the storage space and more RAM than the one above. If you could spend more this is a better choice since you can store more files. Thanks to that additional 2GB RAM, the laptop will have more breathing room when transferring/processing data. Once again this laptop is not suitable for gaming. We saw one at PC Edge Gilmore fpr Php19.900, though it is also avaialble with a slightly higher price at Dynaquest.

Asus X540LA-XX002T – Php19,990

Specifications
Processor	Intel Core i3-4005U
Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 4400
RAM	4GB 1600Mhz
Storage	500 GB HDD
Size	15.6″ (1366×768)
Operating System	Windows 10 Home Edition
Battery	6-cell
Available Colors	Black

For an additional Php90, the Asus X540LA-XX002T is a larger laptop with a longer battery life but with the cost of an older generation processor, and half the storage space of the Lenovo 100-14IBD. Performance-wise, you won’t really notice much of a difference between the i3-4005U and the 5005U since they are both entry level ultra low voltage processors. Not to mention that the only advantage of the 5005U to the 4005 U is a 300Mhz increase in speed. PC Edge Gilmore is currently selling them for Php19,990 though DynaquestPC is also selling them but with a higher price of Php20,990.

This laptop is perfect for those who are on a budget and needs a 15.6″ laptop.

Lenovo G4070 – Php18,495

Specifications
Processor	Intel Core i3-4005U
Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 4400
RAM	4GB 1600Mhz
Storage	500GB HDD
Size	14″ (1366×768)
Operating System	DOS
Battery	4-Cell
Available Colors	Black

Same as the one above, the Lenovo G4070 uses the same i3-4005U processor though smaller (14″), has a shorter battery life, and doesn’t come with an OS (a DOS whilst an operating System, isn’t practical for anyone nowadays). This is good for those who doesn’t want Windows pre-installed. Performance-wise, it is on par with the Asus X540LA-XX002T though with a shorter battery life. You can check it out at PCExpress.
