We know you’re looking for the best laptop or phone for your son or daughter who is off to go to senior high school or college. We also know that you’re probably looking for one for yourself. We got you covered!
When it comes to choosing the perfect device for school, it’s important to consider your budget and the features you need. ASUS has a range of laptops and mobile devices that cater to different budgets and requirements. In this article, we have listed down ASUS devices that are arranged in the level of “school-ness”, because we know that it’s cool to be at school especially with the right… “tool”.
ROG Phone 6 12/256 Black – PhP43,995
For students who need a powerful mobile device that can handle gaming and multimedia tasks, the ASUS ROG Phone 6 is an excellent option. It has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and a 165Hz refresh rate display, making it ideal for mobile gaming and streaming.
The ROG Phone 6 is still pretty much a very capable gaming device. It has all the bells and whistles needed to keep both productivity and gaming activities highly efficient. Yes, it is advertised as a gaming phone, but it’s more than just one. It’s fast, powerful, and a whopping 6000mAh battery!
Now, this gaming phone usually sells for PhP47,995. During ASUS Promo, it’s only being sold for PhP43,995, which is totally a bonkers price for a gaming phone, plus you’re getting a free ROG Cetra II Core earphones.
TUF Gaming F15 with RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 (FX506HM-HN222W) – PhP65,995
If you’re a college student or a high school senior who needs a powerful device for gaming and multimedia editing, the ASUS TUF Gaming FX506HM-HN222W is an excellent choice. With an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card and a 144Hz refresh rate display, this device can handle any task you throw at it. It also has a durable design that can withstand accidental bumps and drops.
Now, to manage the price of the TUF Gaming F15, they still have this particular SKU on stock which rocks an i5-11400H processor. ASUS is also selling another variant, priced at PhP74,995, with a 12th Gen processor but with a lower RTX 30-series GPU.
Regardless, the TUF Gaming F15 is a budget gaming option that you can definitely put under your radar. When you buy one during the promo period, you’ll get PhP1,000 Steam Credits, which you can redeem so you can buy games!
TUF Dash F15 with RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 (FX517ZM-HQ061W) – PhP84,995
For students who need a more portable device that still packs a punch, the ASUS TUF Dash F15 is an excellent option. It’s thin and light, making it easy to carry around campus. The device features a 12th Gen Intel i5-12450H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card and a 165Hz refresh rate display, making it ideal for gaming and multimedia editing.
This is clearly a step up from the TUF Gaming F15, and this one can surely pack a punch. Buying one during the sale will net you extra freebies like ROG Cetra True Wireless and PhP1,000 Steam Credits.
ROG Flow Z13 with RTX 3050 4GDDR6 (GZ301ZC-LD055W) – PhP109,995
For students who prefer a more unconventional device that combines the power of a laptop with the convenience of a tablet, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is an excellent choice. It features an Intel i7-12700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card and a 120Hz refresh rate display. You can detach the screen from the keyboard and use it as a tablet, making it easy to take notes and work on-the-go.
I personally recommend this tablet/laptop as I own one, which I lovingly share with my youngest son (who is a far better player than I am on Valorant). Its smaller build and gaming tablet aesthetics look very cool and appealing; plus you’re getting a device that is clearly fit for various purposes. Now, what’s even more interesting with this device is its flexibility to be upgraded, thanks to its XG Mobile interface. When paired with ASUS ROG’s XG Mobile, you can easily turn this tablet into a workstation that can sometimes dwarf the performance of other desktop PCs. I own an RTX 3080 Mobile GPU with XG Mobile interface, which pairs very well with the Flow Z13. If budget is not an issue, you can get an RTX 4090 with XG Mobile interface also from ASUS ROG. Stay tuned though as this specific XG Mobile model has not yet arrived in the Philippines. So get your eyes peeled on ASUS ROG’s and our pages for updates!
During the promo, you can buy the ROG Flow Z13 for as low as PhP84,995. If you get the one featured in this article (with RTX 3050), you’ll get a free hoodie and an ROG Strix Arion S500 Portable SSD for free. That’s PhP10,029 value of freebies for you!
Strix Scar 15 with RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 (G533ZM-LN022WS) – PhP139,995
Suppose you’re a student who needs a device that can handle heavy-duty tasks such as 3D modeling, video editing, and machine learning. In that case, the ASUS Strix Scar 15 is an excellent choice. It has a 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card and a 240Hz refresh rate display, making it ideal for professionals and those who need to multitask. Those who are studying graphics design and programming can also be benefitted by this gaming laptop.
Buying a Strix Scar 15 with RTX 3060 GPU will also give you 2 freebies: an ROG Delta S Wireless Headphones and a hoodie, which are equal to PhP13,049!
ASUS has a range of devices that cater to different budgets and requirements. Whether you’re a college student who needs a powerful device for gaming and multimedia editing or a high school senior who needs a more portable device for taking notes, doing projects, and play some games during your weekend or holiday break, there’s definitely an ASUS device that’s right for you.
When you purchase an ASUS product, you get a 2-year international warranty. This means that ASUS will take care of any issues with your device within that period, no matter where you are in the world. For the first year, ASUS offers Platinum Protection warranty, giving you even more coverage.
If you want to go the extra mile and extend your warranty, ASUS has got you covered with their Premium Care service. (I have actually tried this myself on my Flow Z13 and X13.) ASUS cares about your device’s performance and wants to keep it in the best possible shape. That’s why they’ve designed an exclusive nine-steps preventive maintenance program. This program ensures that your device receives regular check-ups and necessary maintenance to keep it running smoothly.
