This pandemic (COVID-19) really made a big impact on our daily lives. Until recently, we can classify people in the Philippines into just two (02): they can either be someone Working From Home (WFH) or a student anticipating Studying From Home (SFH) soon.
As a technologist, the common question I receive from family, friends, and readers these days: “What is the best laptop for WFH and/or SFH setup?” And there is no simple answer to that. But let me share with you the best deals that you can find at Shopee if you are currently in search of a WFH and/or SFH device.
ASUS Laptops for WFH and SFH
Some people may call me “brand conscious” but actually, I am not. I write based on personal experiences and believe on brands that are true to their marketing spiels. One of the brands that I trust when it comes to computers and laptops is ASUS. And because we are still under a community quarantine, there is no need for you to go out to the mall to get an ASUS laptop — they have an official online store in Shopee!
The first question I ask people seeking my advice for laptops to purchase is the purpose by which the device will be used. The requirements for someone working from home may be different from someone studying from home, and vice versa. The key for you to determine the right device to acquire is the purpose of its use.
SFH with the ASUS VivoBook X407UA-BV133T
The ASUS VivoBook X407UA-BV133T I3 Gold is one of the best sub-30K laptops that you can get locally. It sports a perfect combination of beauty and performance fit for students attending school from home. Weighing less than 1.5 kgs, this feather-light laptop will surely be a hit to students for their day-to-day use.
The ASUS X407UA-BV133T Gold is a 14-inch laptop packed with an Intel Core i3-7100U processor with 2.4GHz (3M Cache), and a 4GB DDR4 RAM. It has an ample 1TB HDD storage and comes with Windows 10 out of the box. Get it from Shopee and enjoy the perks of having it delivered right in your doorsteps with a laptop bag as a freebie.
With its specifications and features, students will be able to attend their online classes with a breeze.
WFH with the ASUS VivoBook X412FL
If you are part of the workforce in search of a laptop to deliver your day-to-day office tasks, which includes attending online meetings every so often, the ASUS VivoBook X412FL is the device for you.
As a 14-inch laptop, the ASUS VivoBook X412FL is powered by an Intel Core i5 8265U processor paired with at least 4GB of DDR4 RAM. This particular notebook Windows 10 model from ASUS comes with a 512GB PCIE SSD and an NVIDIA GeForce MX250 GPU that will make accessing apps and files faster — no more lag times when joining Zoom calls. Grab this via Shopee and get a free ASUS Nereus carry bag.
Both ASUS VivoBook X407UA and X412FL have built-in webcam, WiFi, Bluetooth, and SD Card slot.
