AB_The Best Gaming Laptops For Every Budget

Gaming laptops come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations. As such, it may be tough to figure out which one provides the most bang-for-the-buck based on a particular budget. Fret not, because we scoured the web on a fiber-fast Internet to give you our picks for the best gaming laptops for every budget category.

Splurge or save on our laptop picks!

Entry-level gaming laptops

For this category, we pegged the price range from PHP 40K to PHP 50K. You’ll typically have a decent gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU, 15-inch full-HD display, and a mid-range processor paired with at least 512GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.

HP Victus 15

From HP Philippines Official Website

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly gaming laptop, the HP Victus 15 might be for you. This device sports an Intel i5-10500H processor and GTX 1650 GPU under the hood, which is decent enough for hours of gameplay. Get the HP Victus 15 on Shopee Mall.

Gigabyte AORUS G5 MF (F2PH333SH)

From Gigabyte Official Website

If you don’t mind spending an additional ten grand for the latest generation of GPU, then the Aorus G5 should be a good bet. This sub-P 50K gaming laptop is equipped with an RTX 4050 paired with an 12th Gen Intel processor. Buy the Gigabyte AORUS G5 MF at Lazmall.

Midrange

We’re going to up the ante a little and bring the budget to the P 70-80K range. The gaming laptops in this price point have the current generation GPU and CPU, or are at least just one generation behind it. A 15-inch full-HD screen is a common sight in this category, but there are a few hidden gems that offer 1440p resolution.

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46-R8H3

Acer Philippines Official Website

One of those gems is this configuration of the Acer Nitro 5. Despite being equipped with an older processor (Ryzen 7 6800H) and GPU (RTX 3070), it’s one of the few sub-PHP 70K gaming laptops that features a 1440p display and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Buy it here.

Lenovo LOQ 15

From Lenovo Philippines Official Website

If older tech is really not your thing, then this configuration of the Lenovo LOQ 15 has you covered. It’s equipped with the latest GPU (RTX 4060) and processor (Ryzen 7 7840HS). It may have a more modest 1080p display, but you can’t go wrong with the rest of its specs! Get it here.

Top of the line

These are some of the best gaming laptops that money can buy. As such, anything less than a flagship 13th Generation Intel Core processor, an RTX 4090, and 17-inch quad-HD display is not going to cut it in this category.
