Computer and Laptop Tech Thread

Dont get fooled by the "lowest bidder" wins. Yes, technically lowest bidder wins but most of the time that lowest bid is higher than the market price.

Govt procurement law is BS. Either it results in overpriced goods/service or poor quality products or worse both.

Kami sa office, we are always asked to put at least 15% mark up sa requested equipment (laptops, printers, etc).

Bakit? Sa haba ng proseso ng pagbabayad due to procurement law and accounting procedures, nagpapatong LAHAT ng suppliers ng interest sa puhunan nila.

SO if you will allot the exact amount for your equipment purchase, most likey a failed bidding will result.

BUT STILL, 700K FOR 4 LAPTOPS IS STILL A LOT EVEN WITH 15% MARK UP OER UNIT.

Yes it is, if they will be supplied with mid specs laptop. But if your thinking about 11th gen core-i7 processors, at least 16Gb RAM, at least 6GB dedicated graphics, 2TB SSD, licensed Windows Pro and Microsoft Office, plus the three years warranty, and coming from brands like DELL, etc, well di na ganun kalayo sa presyo. he he he. But if gagamitin lang for Zoom and spreadsheets, waste of money and hardware

i have yet to see a laptop with the workplace admonition,"for zoom and spreadsheets only".

sabi nga ni boss, "anong zoom and spreadsheets only! ke-mahal-mahal niyan...! sige! i-harabas nyo yan."

heh heh.

Using your high end specs, if bought in the Philiopines, kulang yung 700k for 4 laptops with accessories.

I buy my workstation abroad, mas mura compared sa Philippine market, if ever available locally.

Hybrid laptop at tablet na yan. Hindi na yan lang spreadsheet at zoom lang.

They're obviously for VIPs. Getting a high-end 2-in-1 laptop counts as a perk, regardless of what they plan to use it for. You don't give your boss the same device that his/her rank and file staff uses.

a post-er above mentioned "zoom and spreadsheets", and others assumed yata that that is what the laptop is for.
in truth, the specifications requirements did not mention zoom and spreadsheets at all.

in our workplace,
the laptop with the mostest goes to the person or unit who uses it the most.

IT'S HERE! Everest MAX Keyboard Review - YouTube

I never thought I needed a modular keyboard until I saw this. It's a base TKL keyboard where you can attach the numpad on either side, attach the wrist rest and attach the media control. I wish this will be available in PH.

[dr. d]

i have a TKL 'mechanical' keyboard with tall keys. it clicks and clacks, which is what i want.
the downside is, it is difficult to keep track of whether it's capitalized or not.
the prompter light is covered by the tallness of the key, kasi.

There are low-profile versions of popular switch types Doc. My son has a low-profile red TKL.

You can replace the keycaps with pandak ones. Look for low profile as suggested by JohnM or DSA profile. Meron sa shopee or lazada. Although I don't think you are the type of user that has the patience to pull each keys and replace it. [emoji23]

hmmm...
i'll give it a simmer.

Meron sa lazada and shopee but I bought mine sa yubikey website mismo then shipped it via myshoppingbox. Meron kc promo sa site nila if two or more kukunin. Nakatipid cguro ako mga 1.5k compared if sa shopee/lazada ko binili

Many thanks for this info! Mas prefer ko directly from yubikey site para sure na legit.

Yung myshoppingbox pwede ba direct delivery sa home address or may pickup location sila katulad ng Johnny Air Cargo?
