Getting a new or replacement laptop might punch a huge hole in your wallet if it’s not planned as part of the budget. It’s not also easy to look for one that will be good enough for your needs and also fit within a certain price range you can actually afford.
Whether the laptop is for your eldest kid who will need it for school, a batch of new employees that will mostly need it for office productivity like MS Word or Excel, or simply for personal use at home like browsing the web, checking emails or streaming, you’d still want a more flexible option available out there.
With a limited budget, you’d still want to stretch it so you’d get the best configuration for the price with the possibility of upgrading the system in the future. At least, down the line, you can add more RAM or storage when the budget permits.
You don’t need to scour around and spend hours searching because we’ve done all the research for you! Here are 5 of the most affordable laptops we found on Villman (via the SM Malls Online App 41), all under Php25,000USD 426INR 36,115EUR 406CNY 3,103, that should help you in finding what fits for your personal needs without breaking the bank.

For all the laptops listed here, you can get them from VillMan which you can access via the SM Malls Online App 84. Prices indicated here are ‘lowest price guaranteed’ by SM Malls Online and they promise you can’t get them any lower compared to other online stores out there.
Take note that, while these models will be available elsewhere and with similar configurations, SM Malls Online offers the “Lowest Price Guarantee”. That means you can’t get these laptops anywhere else at a better price than the SM Malls Online App.
You don’t normally get these kinds of bundles and freebies when you shop from other online stores like Lazada or Shopee. That’s on top of the fact that you’re buying from a single source instead of multiple merchants on other shopping apps. That means you also get all of the items simultaneously (and not on a per-item basis).
You can also get the best deals around by watching out for discounts and vouchers. You’ll never know when you can grab additional freebies, bundles or even get free delivery.
The SM Malls Online app promises competitive pricing with a wide range of selections to choose the best value laptop for your intended use. They also offer two ways to get your item — an in-store pick-up (if you are in a rush) or home delivery (if you live quite far) upon check-out and at your convenience.
The app is available to download from Google Play Store and iTunes App Store 70 (click here to download).

I’ve been searching “laptops” on their app but just keeps loading. Wouldn’t even say if there are none available. SM’s app is trash
