We understand that not everyone has a high budget when it comes to purchasing a laptop, yet you still need to complete your assignment as it is your lifeline. Hence, you will still need to get a new one if your current laptop is too slow or worst, out-of-commission.
To us, a budget laptop means having sufficient computing power to handle the required tasks on hand (such as using Creative Cloud Suite of products or even gaming on low-mid settings). Most importantly, packed with as many freebies as possible too!
As such, our recommendation here are all our best sellers trusted by students who bought from us, yet with a budget not more than RM2,500. What's more, they all come bundled with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019 edition, so that's RM529 saved!
