Axioo expands its gaming series with the introduction of the Pongo 535, a budget-friendly model equipped with current-generation hardware and flexible storage options, targeting mid-2026 market enthusiasts.
Axioo has expanded its gaming line-up with the Pongo 535, a budget-oriented model that aims to deliver current-generation hardware at a relatively accessible price point for mid-2026. The laptop sits below the Pongo 735 in the range and is positioned as a more affordable option for buyers who want a dedicated gaming machine without moving into the premium segment.
At its core is Intel’s Core i5-13420H, a 45-watt processor with eight cores and 12 threads, paired with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3050 laptop GPU with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory. Axioo’s own product information says the machine uses a 15.6-inch full-HD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, a specification that should help with smoother motion in games and general use. The company also says the notebook ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, plus a 512 GB NVMe SSD.
The storage setup is more flexible than many entry-level gaming laptops. According to Axioo, the Pongo 535 includes a second M.2 slot, allowing users to add another SSD without replacing the main drive. The main slot supports PCIe Gen 4 x4 storage, while the additional bay is limited to PCIe Gen 3 x4. Memory can also be expanded to 64 GB, which gives the system room for heavier multitasking or content work.
Connectivity is standard for the class, with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, while the battery is rated at 54 Wh. Axioo says Windows 11 comes preinstalled and the laptop includes three years of Accidental Damage Protection Extra, a coverage plan that the company says is intended to address mishaps rather than only manufacturing faults. The Pongo 535 is being sold as a sub-15 million rupiah gaming laptop, and Axioo’s comparisons with its other Pongo models underline its role as the entry point in the series rather than the fastest machine in the range.
