Hi everyone, I’m deciding between two second-hand laptops for my Virtual Assistant and general admin work. I’ll be using Google Workspace heavily and need something reliable for daily multitasking.

Which of these is the better buy?
Dell Inspiron 3501 (₱11,500): 11th Gen i5-1135G7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. (Consumer-grade)
HP ProBook 450 G9 (₱17,500): 12th Gen i7-1255U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD. (Business-grade)

Is the ProBook worth the extra ₱6,000, or is the Dell a better value for a starter VA? Any advice would be appreciated!

Is this a good deal for ₱17,500

Hey everyone! I’m looking to buy a laptop mainly for general admin tasks and Virtual Assistant (VA) work. My budget is strict—under 20K.

Since my budget is on the lower side, I’m highly considering buying secondhand to get better specs. Do you have any specific laptop models to recommend?

More importantly, who are your trusted secondhand laptop sellers/shops? I'd love to hear your personal recommendations so I don't get scammed. Thank you! 🙏
