A Deep dive into some gaming laptops that are a bang for your buck!
Dedicated gaming PCs are everywhere now, with many computer brands and manufacturers creating hardware specifically to run the most immersive and advanced games. Now while many Filipinos may look to upgrade their PCs with the latest graphics cards and processors to run these demanding titles, there is still some merit in getting the good old gaming laptop.
These high-performance notebooks could still do the job when running popular games, with the added bonus of these PCs being portable enough to carry anywhere. Now if you are looking to start gaming on a PC and would want a portable device to play on, you can check out some of these laptop lines that could handle some of your gaming preferences, all without hurting you in the wallet.
PC gamers may have heard of the Giga Byte brand through their motherboards and original PC parts that work well with any desktop components. So it is no surprise that the manufacturer would eventually release their own line of gaming laptops that could compete with the top names. Boasting a wide selection of Intel and AMD lines of gaming laptops and ultrabooks with competent processors and powerful NVIDIA or Ryzen graphics cards, Gigabyte is a great option for gamers who want to deep dive into gaming more than a hobby.
Chuwi is more well-known as a developer of portable devices like tablets and phones, but this doesn’t mean they couldn’t compete in the gaming department. Their Corebook series of high-end laptops are not only thin and portable, but could also run some of the hardcore PC titles, all while keeping their price tag under P30,000. Of course, there’s a caveat – while the Corebook is competitive enough to have Intel i5 processors running (a gaming laptop standard), their laptops only have the dedicated UHD graphics to fall on. This makes Chuwi a good go-to for beginners who just want to play casual games on a very portable device they can bring anywhere with them.
Avid gamers may be surprised to see Acer in a list of affordable gaming laptops, but this flagship brand has made the necessary strides to make their Nitro gaming laptops distinct from the more premium Acer Predator lines. Price-aside, the Acer Nitro laptops are known to be dependable computers on their own right. At around P50,000-P60,000 you can already get a powerful PC that boasts Intel i5-i7/AMD Ryzen 7 processors, RTX-ready/Radeon RX graphics cards, SSD storage, and up to 16GB RAM. The Nitro laptops’ form factor also screams “gaming laptop”, while also coming with necessary programs that let you maximize your gaming potential.
The Lenovo IdeaPad line is well-known as “the business laptop” for professionals. So, adding the Gaming tag on it would also attract gamers who want a versatile laptop that is also distinct from the Lenovo Legion that seasoned gamers often flock into. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming series boasts equally powerful Intel i5-i7 processors, NVIDIA RTX graphics, and SSD storage… all under a simple form factor.
The Asus ROG series is considered one of the best gaming laptop lines for those who are willing to shill the money… but this is a list for affordable gaming laptops, so going for the TUF line is also a viable option. Unlike the previous lines, the ASUS TUF series is designed specifically for gaming. This means having the latest processors, ample RAM, improved NVIDIA graphics cards, SSD storage, and built-in programs that help optimize and run games as smoothly as possible. The lack of HDD support and removal of other PC components to make room for all gaming necessities makes this one for avid gamers who are looking to shop and save on their budget.
Seeing a few of these gaming laptops offers not just options for aspiring gamers to choose from, but a great insight into how well the gaming industry has adapted as one of the biggest forms of entertainment in the world today. These affordable laptop series are all available now online at Lazada Philippines.
