Where laptops are cheaper: GearVN, Phong Vũ or MemoryZone
How much the same laptop, monitor or headset differs across three big Vietnamese electronics shops. Cá Buồm data for 15 Sep 2026: 4% on average, up to 60%, and no shop is cheapest every time.
Published 15 September 2026
The ASUS Gaming V16 V3607VJ-TK189W is one model, one configuration, one code assigned by the maker. On 15 September it sold for 25,700,000₫ at MemoryZone, 26,490,000₫ at Phong Vũ and 27,090,000₫ at GearVN. A 1.39 million gap on the same machine, depending on which page you opened first.
Matched by model code
Electronics carry no barcode on the shop page, but they carry something better: the maker’s model code sits right in the product name. “83JE01AGVN” is one specific Lenovo LOQ, “XL2586X” one specific BenQ monitor. Cá Buồm extracts that code from the name, pairs it with the brand, and three shop pages become one product with three prices.
Component codes such as “i7-13620H” or “RTX 5050” are ignored for matching; otherwise every laptop with the same chip would stick together.
The numbers on 15 Sep 2026
Electronics overlap less than groceries: shops stock different lines, and a model code sometimes exists in one place only. Out of 675 products, 23 models are sold by two or more shops. For those:
- the average gap between the cheapest and the dearest shop is 4.4%;
- almost 3 out of 10 models differ by 5% or more;
- cheapest: GearVN 10 times, Phong Vũ 8, MemoryZone 7. Practically a draw.
On a 30–50 million laptop, 4% is more than a million đồng, the price of a good mouse.

What the price does not say
A price on Cá Buồm is the public list price on the shop page, read every night. Bundled gifts, 0% instalments, extended warranty and in-store promotions are not in it. For a purchase worth tens of millions, open all three links and read the gift section before deciding; the shop that is 500 thousand dearer sometimes throws in a bag and a mouse.
Choose Electronics on the home page, switch on 2+ shops, and the page sorts the models by how much you save. Every product page carries the full specification table taken from the shop and a day-by-day price history.
