#FathersDayTreat from Shopee : ASUS Laptops that are worth the investment

In these trying times when an invisible enemy is possibly lurking in anyone or in any place at any given time, it is still best to stay home and be safe. Even our knights during this pandemic, our pillars of strength, the head of our household, the man we call "FATHER," needs to stay at home most of the time, if staying at home all day every day is not possible.

No matter how strong and courageous our fathers may be, their safety should be prioritized for the welfare and security of the whole household. This is why a lot of our beloved woking Dads has shifted and has been shifting to work from home jobs to continuously provide for the family while securing themselves from the harm of the virus.

But work from home jobs don't only require a stable internet connection but a great laptop, as well. Why a laptop and not a desktop? A laptop is a must for home-based professionals for emergency purposes such as power interruptions and internet connection problems. You can take your laptop anywhere which makes you utilize your time more efficiently and makes it easier for you to multitask.

Buying a new laptop for your work-from-home set-up? Make sure to consider the following and note of the recommendations :


1. CPU Core Processor

A laptop with at least an Intel Core-i5 is recommended, but for someone who is just starting to land in a work-from-home job Core-i3 is is not that bad. Take a look at ASUS X407UF-BV051T I3 MX130 Grey.

This Asus laptop weighs around 1.5kgs, it's a bit heavy but our Dads can definitely lift any load for the sake of his family; the weight, therefore, is not a problem as this one is really affordable at Php28,995. It has an Intel® Core™ i3 8130U (4 M Cache, up to 3.4 GHz) processor, Windows 10 Operating System, home memory of 4GB DDR4 2400MHz SDRAM, and a storage hard drive of 1TB 5400 rpm SATA HDD.

2. RAM (Memory)

RAM ensures that a laptop will run smoothly. Go for a unit with a lot of RAM so you can multitask without difficulty. The minimum recommendation nowadays is 4GB, but an 8GB RAM is a lot better especially if you run multiple tasks on your laptop. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G GA502DU-AL031T Black is a perfect laptop that runs with a huge RAM of 8GB. It's ultra-slim and has 15.6 display. For the price of Php84,995; it's not actually for beginners but definitely worth the investment, because working from home is doing a profitable business.

3. Storage

Free cloud software or apps are a practical way of storing your files, but don't just rely on it because you can only access it when you're connected to the internet. Therefore, your laptop should have a storage drive capacity of at least 1 terabyte HDD so you can still be productive offline.

Asus X560UD-BQ503T Black Intel Core I5 8250U/4GB DDR4/1tb hdd+256GB ssd/nvidia geforce GTX 1050 (4GB) is a great laptop for the price of Php42,995. It's now on sale at 14% off, it was around Php50,000 before. Apart from the 1 terabyte HDD is has 256 GB SSD (solid-state drive) which can speed up and maximize your productivity at the comfort of your home.

4. Video Card

Most of the recent units have built-in video cards of 1GB or 2GB. If your work is graphics and video intensive, then you should invest in something with higher specs. 

ASUS ROG STRIX G531GW-ES191T HERO III BLACK is worth your every peso. With an Intel® Core™ i7 9750H processor, 8 GB, 2 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion, total up to 32 GB SDRAM, Dual-channel memory; NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 , with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM graphic; hard drive of 1TB 5400 rpm SATA HDD (FireCuda) and solid-state drive of 512GB PCIe® SSD, you can be sure this unit won't lag, won't hang, won't heat fast, and will definitely give you a very professional experience. 

This unit is a bit pricey at Php144,995 but this is an all-in-one laptop as this is not only for work but for entertainment and gaming,too. Dads deserve sometime off anyway, for their hardwork and this unit is the best choice so they won't even feel bored at home. They can work while playing and play while working.
