Gaming laptops are becoming more affordable. Now, with just around 15 - 20 million VND, college students can easily choose a powerful machine that meets their study and entertainment needs for many years to come.
With robust specifications, gaming laptops can cater to a variety of needs across different fields of study. From technical disciplines like engineering, programming, data science, economics to architecture. Even design and multimedia students who may not have enough budget for laptops with high-quality screens can still use them to learn tools and techniques initially. After learning parts that require more color accuracy, they can simply purchase an external monitor.

Below are some suggestions for college students looking for a laptop to serve their study and entertainment needs.
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7 tops the list of laptops under 20 million VND. With the latest version equipped with AMD Ryzen 6000 series CPU (and a 15IAH7 version with Intel Gen 12), everything has been completely transformed, making it a gaming laptop under 20 million VND worth buying.

The design of IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7/15IAH7 inherits from the renowned Legion series. Even the cooling system of the machine has inherited many factors from its predecessors. In my opinion, this is one of the laptops with the best cooling system and overall experience in the under 20 million VND segment at the moment.

In terms of specifications, IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7 is equipped with AMD Ryzen 5 6600H CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage, and RTX 3050 GPU - a powerful configuration in its price range, capable of handling AAA games at Full HD resolution with graphics quality ranging from medium to high. There is also an option with Intel Core i5-12500H CPU, 16GB RAM at a higher price point of about 2 million VND.

HP Victus 16
This is a gaming laptop under 20 million VND that has garnered a lot of attention since its release due to its reasonable price, large screen, good cooling, and decent performance. Specifically, the Victus 16 is equipped with a 16.1-inch display, significantly larger than other gaming laptops in the same price range, along with a 144Hz refresh rate for an excellent gaming experience.

However, the trade-off for the large screen is that the hinge is not very sturdy. If you use it in front of a fan, you may experience some discomfort. But under normal usage, without sitting in the airflow, the screen remains stable because the bottom part of the machine is very solid. Even if you type vigorously, it doesn't affect the screen.

In terms of specifications, for around 19.5 million VND, you'll get a Victus 16 equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage, and an RTX 3050 GPU, similar to the IdeaPad Gaming 3. I also highly rate the cooling system of the Victus 16 version with an AMD CPU, which handles gaming and heavy tasks well for extended periods. Additionally, there are other configuration options as well as an Intel version for you to choose from.

ASUS TUF DASH Gaming F15
Equipped with an Intel Core i5-12450H CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage, and RTX 3050 GPU, the ASUS TUF DASH Gaming F15 doesn't stand out in terms of specifications for its price range. The most notable feature of this laptop is its relatively light weight of only 2kg and eye-catching design. Overall, it's still a gaming laptop under 20 million VND worth considering.

This is definitely a great advantage for those who frequently need to carry it to school. Despite the weight reduction, the laptop's cooling system is still quite good, and users can easily customize the fan and performance settings through software.

MSI GF63 Thin 11SC
Priced at only 15 million VND, the MSI GF63 Thin 11SC is the top choice for gaming laptops under 20 million VND, easily accessible to most students. In terms of specifications, the machine is equipped with an Intel Core i5-11400H CPU for excellent performance paired with a GTX 1650 GPU, capable of handling most current games at Full HD resolution with suitable graphics settings and performing well in eSports titles.

Moreover, the laptop is even lighter than the ASUS model above, weighing only 1.86kg. This weight is slightly heavier than typical 15-inch office laptops in the same price range. Of course, the cooling ability of the machine may be somewhat limited, but with this configuration, you don't need to worry too much.
