    Iba na kasi ngayon, there are consumer and enterprise classes of electronics. Even the materials that they use to make the circuit boards are different. And the components are crappier now, all in the name of selling cheaper products -- even the RJ45 jacks these days don't feel as solid as the old AMP jacks(then again these used to cost 40-50 pesos compared to today'
    s 3-5 peso jacks).

    Most electronics today are just better than electronic toys in Toys R Us.

    I'm buying for our company and I insist on AMP USA RJ45 jacks, not those bulk China ones.

    Back to topic, I am currently using an Acer Aspire V5-122 with an AMD 1.0~1.4Ghz Quad-Core processor I bought for about 19k some 2-3 years ago. Monitor is an 11.6" IPS multitouch display and comes with 4GB already so I just upgraded the drive to 500GB SSHD and I can multi-task naman. Right now I have 2 Google windows open with around 60 tabs total. :D

    Again, whatever unit you came away with, next upgrade after the memory (minimum of 4GB) is the drive. Either you look for a 7200rpm drive or go straight to SSD. I did change my laptop hdd to SSD but since it's only 128GB I find it quite limiting. I just made it into a boot (OS) drive for my PC.

    Isa pang facepalm sa dati kong trabaho: for the longest time we used those cheap China made crimping tools. i've told them for years to get the proper AMP/Tyco tools, ayaw makinig. And they wonder why we always have network problems

    Sorry OT na
