ASUS ROG Flow Z13 2025 Review
In order to play on-the-go, one must have a laptop that has specs beefy enough to be able to render the games you want to play.
Although these portable computers are usually expensive, one doesn’t necessarily have to spend all their savings as there are some that aren’t that heavy on the pocket. Here are some of the best gaming laptops you can buy here in the Philippines without exceeding the Php35K mark.
Update: We revamped the list to a total of 5 laptops that could handle light to medium gaming and set the NVIDIA GeForce 940m as the starting parameter. Thank you all for the feedback.

Curious, but aren’t those laptops for “light” to “medium” (?) gaming at best? How about the Asus K401?
(Just based on my months-long research, my at-the-least choice will be the Asus K501LX. I’m waiting for the Dell Inspiron 15-7559, which Dell will offer sometime this month, before I finally decide.)
Shanghai says:
I’m waiting for that one too, where did you get the info na dell will release it this month?
Easy E says:
Interestingly, no Lenovo is listed.
Paul says:
I wonder what criteria the author used to pick these three laptops.
Strictly specs-wise you can find laptops with up to Nvidia 940m graphics also for less than 35k.
kinoiskino2nokinoks says:
yung bayad most likely, ok lang sana kaso misleading info tong mga to, possibly makakasira pa ng laptop.
Doc Bradley Loo says:
Paul could you list some down for reference?

Meron ring mas mura na laptop na may 920M na nasa 18k.

Paul says:
Sure. You can check these at Villman website, or at PCHub/PCworx/dynaquest’s tipidpc pages (search for ‘gf940m’).

Marc says:
None of these are gaming laptops. They are at best multimedia laptops. What distinguishes gaming laptops from multimedia laptops are the presence of a mid to high end mobile gpu (like the Nvidia 950m) and most importantly the presence of a custom built cooling system that keeps all this hardware cool. As I found out the hard way if you have awesome specs but terrible cooling your PC will stutter at high Temps.
Itchad says:
Under 35k price range? You can’t really find a laptop like that. Not counting the Toshiba listed, the other two can actually perform decently with games released before 2014.
hello says:
950m is not something you can find in a laptop under 35K – unless it’s secondhand, maybe
natz says:
i agree.
Mond says:
I’m expecting ASUS K455L to be in the list. Only at 30K, almost same specs with ASUS X55LJ-XX035H only with 14 inch display and 500GB HDD.
Drugs Pa More! says:

Ronaldq says:
But sir Kevin, those are not gaming laptops!
K555L vs X55LJ says:
Whats the difference between the two other than K is on Windows10 and X is on Windows8?
K is 37k on Lazada while X as stated is 33k
