Looks ok. Ganyan ata yung kakabili lang ng tito ko na laptop na pinainstallan sakin ng apps. Bitin talaga 2GB these days. Celeron quad core is still no match compared to old i3 processors, pero pwede na for basic use.

My personal experience with a Dell Inspiron 11 (dual core celeron, 4gb ram, sata hdd) running Windows 10, multiple open browsers(Chrome), ok pa naman...pero noticeable na yung lag once i open a few LibreOffice spreadsheets.

Get at least i3 processor, 2gb of memory enough na pang office / home use. Unless pang homework lang ng kids, the celeron will do. lenovo is ok. stay away with asus, manipis ang kaha. So far, sony vaio for me is the best next to apples, strong casing and decent specs for an 5 years old.

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).

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.

Sony sold the VAIO brand sometime in 2014/2015; afaik OK naman reviews. Not sure if the new VAIOs are of the same quality(or available locally for that matter)

Personal experience with 2GB, bitin talaga for Windows; my Dell was unusable out of the box with 2GB. 4GB should be the absolute minimum these days, 8GB preferable.

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

Definitely go with a 4 GB RAM minimum and if possible, 6-8 GB. I get pretty much a desktop PC experience with 8 GB RAM.

My experience says otherwise on all the points raised.

1. You don't need an i3 unless you do processor intensive tasks (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, games, etc. For basic use, a quad-core Celeron is certainly enough even if you have a hundred tabs open. What you need for better multitasking is RAM.

2. 2GB of RAM will run Win 10, but not optimally. You will experience hiccups with just 2GB. Get at least 4GB of RAM for a smoother experience.

3. I've worked with many Vaios and they aren't any more durable than other laptops. Aside from the ThinkPad, most other laptops have the same so-so durability.

Last tip, if you want to make even your low-end rig much snappier, get an SSD. A 256GB SSD is about 4k nowadays, but it will make your computer much snappier. Bootup will take less than 20 seconds. Opening apps will be almost instantaneous. 256GB is enough for the OS and all your programs, but if you need to download lots of movies, you'll probably have to get an external hard drive to dump all your downloads.

agree with #3. sony vaio casings are not that durable, painted plastics that are brittle and easy to cracked

[Jun aka Pekto]

If the TC goes ahead and buys a laptop with just 2 GB RAM, he should confirm if the version of Windows installed is 32-bit or 64-bit. Sometimes, even 4 GB laptops come with 32-bit Windows, making only 3GB (max) usable.

[Walter]

Asus is one of the few that actually make their own laptops ... most of the manufacturers subcontract and rebadge theirs ...

[confused shoes]

Yes. Among laptops I've used, ASUS is the best. While ASUS is dirt cheap, they are very durable.
I've used Thinkpad, Fujitsu, Dell, ACER. They can't beat the ASUS. Dell is the worst.
