On the first half of 2015, we gave you a list of gaming laptop that you can buy under Php 30,000. This is an updated list where our top 5 choices are different than before. Some of the major factors that change our selection is, of course, price drops over time and holiday discounts.
Update May 2016 – We have a new updated list of Gaming Laptops for Php30,000
Christmas is coming and probably one of the things listed on your wish list is a gaming laptop. We have listed the best laptops that you can buy for under ₱30,000. You can mostly play your games on these laptops but don’t expect a high-end gaming experience. Mostly, these laptops can do 60FPS max settings on Dota 2 or League of Legends. If you’re looking to play AAA games, these will be either hit or miss at 1366×768 resolution.
NOTICE: These are intended for light gaming, mostly for people who enjoy DOTA2, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Hearthstone and some other reasonably light titles like MMORPGs. If your definition of gaming is a 60FPS 1080p experience, we have another guide for you guys but best be ready with a higher budget.
So here’s our top 5 gaming laptop under ₱30,000:

Hi guys, I am looking for a gaming laptop and I saw a laptop on sale on Lazada for 21k http://www.lazada.com.ph/lenovo-g40-…op-979493.html
It’s not actually the one I really want but I am working on a limited budget here so I don’t have much choice.

I know both are not as good as the ones on your list but my budget is limited, so if you can recommend a laptop under 25 that would be great. I won’t be using it solely for games but I would like to have that option.
Get the Acer one, it’s the better deal of the two. Better CPU, more RAM and larger storage already means a lot. 🙂
please make a guide for budget gaming laptop under 40k pesos also. thanks!
Will do 🙂
sir regarding the link provided on the acer e5-473g. legit and reliable ba yung store na nakalink dun? kasi so far sa naresearch ko, siya lang yun nagpoprovide ng ganun price range sa product na yun.
May nagtanong na rin before about that, asking kung legit and ang advise ni author of this article na since may transaction na sila before is legit naman daw so yeah, they’re legit. I suggest bro call them up to inquire din.
Malalaro ko ba ultra settings dota 2 sa acer 473g D1v
Acer Notebook E5-473G-31DV jan po pala hehe
basta 1366×768 kaya bro pero best performance nasa 720p high siguro jan sa model na yan
There’s this company called kwan corporation on facebook that sells some high end laptops with similar specs to the ones listed here. On a personal level, would you reccommend buying from these people? I don’t think I’ve found any reviews on them yet.
Kwan Corp. huh…. hmmm they seem to be selling on Lazada also. Could be grey imports so be weary of warranty but from what I see they seem to have positive feedback so might be a worthy option.
Horrible list haha
I own acer aspire e5-473-5lc and im loving it. Could play Dota2 on high setting and new games on low-medium sett. 😀
great list btw.
