Finding a good quality laptop for less than R15,000 is challenging, but there are a few options available to buyers in South Africa.<\/p>\n
For under R15,000, several choices offer good specifications and would be a solid bet if you\u2019re not looking to break the bank.<\/p>\n
We selected four laptops, beginning with\u00a0two machines suited for office work without more powerful graphics cards. This lets them come in cheaper than more multimedia-oriented laptops.<\/p>\n
Our first workhorse is the MSI Modern 14 for R13,999. It has a Core i5 with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD.<\/p>\n
The Modern 14 also only weighs 1.3kg and, with a 14-inch screen, will more than satisfy any work needs.<\/p>\n
For our second work laptop option, we selected the Acer Swift 3 for R13,949.<\/p>\n
Also boasting a Core i5, the Swift 3 has 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD with a 14-inch screen.<\/p>\n
For office work, either one of these two options would be suitable.<\/p>\n
For gaming and multimedia usage, we rounded up two different laptops that sell for R14,999.<\/p>\n
The Asus TUF gaming F15 laptop offers a Core i5-10300H with four cores and eight threads. It also boasts a 15.6-inch full HD display.<\/p>\n
The laptop\u2019s 512GB SSD and 8GB of DDR4 RAM also enhance its gaming capabilities.<\/p>\n
Notably, the F15 has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 4GB graphics card \u2014 a solid card that will perform well with most games.<\/p>\n
Another gaming laptop within the R15,000 price range is the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, which has an AMD Ryzen 5 with six cores and twelve threads, and 8GB of DDR4 RAM.<\/p>\n
However, where the F15 has 512GB of SSD storage, the IdeaPad has only 256GB, though it does come with an additional 1TB Hard Drive.<\/p>\n
Both gaming laptops are a solid choice if you want to game at a medium performance level.<\/p>\n
