Best brand of laptop

[spidey1211]

my acer laptop for 1.5 years is now dead, motherboard daw ang sira atleast 10 hours a day sya nakaopen... as in tortured sakin, may bakat na nga yung kamay ko lolz.

nagtry ako paayos sa greenhills, 10 to 15k ang motherboard , sabi ko hmotna lang, then offer nila sakin pwede daw nila bilhin for 10k... 40k ko binili ito last year.

now im using MSI, msi din kasi ang motherboard nito... hopefully magtagal... its a core 2 duo with 2gb of ram , compared sa celeron 1.5 ko before with 700+ ram

mine is asus a6va 2.5 yrs na, now the DVDRW DL is having trouble burning DVDs and CDs, successful burned DVDs are unreadable, might be the OEM drive is crap TSST

and the HDD bay is very hotie HDtemp reach 55 to 56 degrees pag walang cooler during extensive DL, kailangan pa lagyan ng cooler sa ilalim

Battery mode last 2.5hours internet usage sa airport

For me, "Toshiba Satellite" series is so good! We've been using this since the 90's pa, mainly for fieldworks where my dear laptop will be exposed to a very humid and warm environments. I can still remember AutoCad10 or 14 pa yata yung nuon, up until now...Autocad 2007/Solidworks 2007 na gamit ko.

add ka konti mag hp or asus ka na lang na may Vista na, may post ako dito asus vs hp. i think both brands are ok, but have no experience with them pa. kung di ok yung toshi na titingnan ko bukas(2nd hand) i'll get one of those 2. 37.5k with OS na, brand new

tingnan mo yung maganda ang airflow, mine is very hotie, if you can find another heatpipe for VGA much better yung bang seaparate ang labasan ng init ng VGA and CPU... not integrated

I agree with Hanren, dami kang dapat i consider, i am now using a Dell inspiron 6400 (core duo), been using this for 1 and half year and walang problema.

my personal experience:

my acer P2 (yup, that's a pentium 2) laptop which i bought in 1994 is still working. ginagamit pa din ito ng secretary ko. pinalitan ko lang ng harddisk at nagpa-repack ng batteries. okay na okay. nalubog na ito sa tubig baha dati (as in lunod). pinabayaan ko lang matuyo sa init ng metro manila for 1 week, tapos pagpindot ko sa on switch, umandar uli. patok.

my sony vaio na P3 madalas mahulog (from a 3-ft height -- tumalbog na nga sa sahig at nasalo ko uli) pero okay na okay pa din. ang pinalitan ko pa lang so far ay ang CDROM drive (nasira dahil sa madalas mahulog) at nagpa-repack ng batteries. ginagamit pa din hanggang ngayon ng isang secretary.

my wife's macbook is okay. (i'm not a big fan of apple.) although parang masyadong delicate. nakakatakot mahulog.

recently, i bought a new laptop. i decided on vaio uli (dahil sa ganda ng experience ko sa P3 ko na vaio). core 2 duo. 2gb ram. dvd writer. very happy with this. ang ayaw ko lang ay vista siya. (parang mas happy ako sa xp e.)

so, ang suggestion ko: sony vaio or acer. sa experience ko, subok nang matatag. (wag na macbook, IMHO its pure design but less of the functionality.)

ive had my dell since december 2005, and this summer lang officially dead na yung battery nya, as in ni 1 sec of battery life wala na. Im thinking the problem might lie in the battery's power management circuit, kasi before masira ito, i could still manage to squeeze around 40 mins of battery life out of them.

san ka nagpaparepack ng battery? nasusunod ba nila yung specs ng output voltage at current? Yun lang kasi ang kinakatakot ko sa repacking eh.


also im also contemplating in getting a new laptop, and ive noticed parang naging mas affordable na ang mga macbooks ngayon, kaya im thinking of trying them out for a change, provided na pwede siya magamitan ng autocad. From what ive read, walang mac version ang autocad, so i have to use ung parallels ng Mac to be able to run it, question to macbook owners is, paano yung performance ng parallels (im not even sure if this is what you call this)? axad is medyo cpu/ram intensive especially if you do rendering, pero in my case, simple 2d drawings lang kaya di masyado ang strain sa resources.

Ever since HP na gamit ko. So far, naluluma nalang pero hindi pa naman nagkakaroon ng major problem. Now, I'm using HP Pavilion6189, madali lang mag low batt kaya balak ko upgrade sa 12cell.

Sir, as a Mac user, I find Parallels quite inadequate/unstable in handling resource intensive programs like Autocad. Try running Windows+Autocad on its native environment via bootcamp to decapitalize on Mac OS X virtualization. I just don't know how VM Fussions can handle Autocad? There are a lot of Mac techies here that can best address your concerns.

By the way, I have HP and Macbook Pro (Both having Intel Core 2 Duo Processors). No probems on neither one of them so far. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses as a portable computer.
