All the best laptops under Php20,000 we listed above have at least 4GB of RAM, this is because we believed it is the minimum amount of memory for Windows 10 to run properly. Moreover, none of these laptops are built for gaming purposes.

The links included all point to the official store of Acer, Lenovo, Villman, and Complink in Lazada, which simply means it is safe to buy from any of them.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

If your budget is limited to Php10,000 pesos, we highly suggest that you follow Lenovo Philippines Facebook Page so that you can quickly check when will be the next sale for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 1. Again, it can go as low as  Php8,999, and with that very attractive price tag, we actually bought 1 for ourselves to test it out.

As mentioned earlier, the Lenovo IdeaPad S145 has vast configurations that can easily match almost anyone's budget. Consumers can opt for the basic config, or pick the one with SSD, or the one SSD + dedicated graphics, which is the one we highly recommend.

We also listed down the Lenovo IdeaPad S130, because it also has a dedicated graphics chip, however, it uses slightly older AMD processor and comes with HDD. Nonetheless, it is 1000 pesos more affordable than the S145 highest configuration priced at Php19,995.

The Acer Aspire 3 A314 is the most affordable in the list that has SSD. So, what's SSD? The solid-state drive is a fast storage device, fasted than HDD, which could easily translate to faster boot-up time. The Acer Aspire 3 A315, on the other hand, has a larger display and twice as much HDD storage capacity than the A314.

FINAL WORDS:

The Best Laptops Under Php20K for Students that we listed above are just a simple guide for parents or students that looking for a decent notebook PC that can be used for homeschooling. The list is also applicable for teachers or educators that are looking for budget-friendly, but very much usable laptops for teaching online.
