What laptop to buy? not more than 30k

[attyallanlatras]

I was able to sell my Dell mini 12, and I want to buy a regular laptop. What brand should I buy? I want at least dual core or core 2 duo, with at least 2 gig RAM. I'm not after playing games...But I want to have a faster rig than the mini...please help..TIA

sir, consider the laptops of NEO. hindi nga lang ako familiar sa mga units nila. pero they cost a lot cheaper than others. if you can stretch your budget up to 35k, i can recommend acer aspire 4736 sir. this is what i'm using now.

specs:
14" hd led lcd
core 2 duo 2.2ghz
256mb video card
2 gb ram
320gb sata hdd
hdmi out
3 usb ports
bluetooth
fingerprint scanner
wi-fi a/b/g draft n

I suggest looking at Compaq and Acer laptops. Got my mom a laptop for 28k ata, Acer. Last time I checked, Compaq laptops were selling for 27-35k.

Mura nga NEO kaso sobrang cheap ng itsura. No offense to NEO owners here.

If you intend to keep the laptop plugged in most of the time, go for one with a fast hard drive.
