the best amongst the "cheaper" laptops

[badkuk]

alin po kaya nag the best among ecs, neo, blue, twinhead?

[arieslhon]

isama mo s choices ang Asus......oks po yan...

[architect]

The forthcoming asus eee 701PC. It is actually a sub-notebook with 7" LCD. (Some sites are reporting a 10" version.) Projected prices range from $200 to $300. If it comes equipped with the announced specs, it should suffice for most usage - surfing, email, spreadsheet, word processing, IM, movies via USB-DVD or flash drives.

kung laptop lang as much as possible treat yourself with a branded one na. para kasi ang generic ng dating ng mga taiwan laptops

WALA.

Lahat yan may negative comment lagi. Iba ibang probs. Tska kuripot din yang mga yan, ung friend ko may billboard nyan di man lang nagbigay ng laptop (di ko na sabihin ung brand, basta nasa EDSA ung billboard hehehe)

[oldblue]

alen axis global hehehe

[Lucius]

Hehehe basta isa sa mga choices ng threadstarter

[mhelskie]

among the choices of the threadstarter, i'd go with twinhead laptops...had first hand experience with it and it performs like any branded laptops. We're still using our twinhead laptop which was bought 3 years ago. Ang diprensya lang ngayon is nawala sa alignment ung internal DVD drive kaya hirap magbasa ng DVDs/CDs, pero aside from that, it still works perfectly

among the choices, i'd go with twinhead too

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A-215 for $900

Bloatware I don't care for

Not a bad system at all. It takes around 2-2.5 hours average to convert a DVD movie .vob to a 700mb Xvid avi via AutoGK. Then, it takes around 30 min average to convert that Xvid file (via Videora for iPod) to an iPod mp4 for use on my PSP. No lag issues even with a 4200rpm hard drive.

Gaming performance is better than the GMA950 but not as good as the X3100. Games like Dawn of War and Rome: Total War ran just fine. OpenGL is slow though. So, no Doom3/Quake4 and other 3d-intensive FPS. That's ok. I didn't really intend to game with it.

It handled Vista Home Premium on par with RC1 on my X2 4200+ which is quite well. No driver issues. Video driver is the full-blown ATI Catalyst, not the lame MS one. All the software issues I had with RC1 are gone with the retail version of Vista.
