A budget laptop is a value question, not a price-cap question: what is the most laptop you can get per peso for school, office work and everyday use? Our rule stays the same — insist on at least 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Both picks below clear that bar for under ₱26,000, at the same prices as our other laptop guides.
Our scores: every pick below carries our editorial rating out of 10, with star ratings, based on specs, price and value for money in the Philippines — not hands-on lab test scores.
