acer laffy ko, 2 1/2 years old na 16 hours araw araw ginagamit
minsan 10 hrs. walang patayan hindi umiinit,pag games lang umiinit
dami na din natapos na PC games ok naman,
walang sakit sa ulo. hindi nga tinatablan ng virus eh :hysterical:
minsan try ko din ibang brand kapag naluma na toh, try ko kung mas maganda
gusto ko try yung Dell or Asus pero hindi toshiba sirain HDD nun.
naniniwala kasi ako na nasa gumagamit lang yan
pag syonge-syonge gumagamit sirain talaga.

Bought a Toshiba in 2008; but the motherboard died within a year. Thankfully, it was covered by warranty and they replaced it in a week. No major problems since then. My only issue is the proprietary wireless LAN software which gives me a headache as it sometimes cannot connect to my router.

Had a Lenovo T series for the office. Pretty heavy and loved the keyboard. But the speakers crapped out after a few months and the screen washes out when unplugged from the wall socket.

I've had an HP for work in 2006 and 2010; hated both of them. Crappy keyboard and trackpad. The 2010 one had a really noisy fan that seemed to be hitting something. Took a few weeks to have it fixed.

Bought a Lenovo G series in 2012. Lovely chiclet keyboard. So-so trackpad. No issues with the hardware. Bought it without an OS and installed my personal copy of Windows 7.

Bought an Apple Retina Macbook Pro last year. Probably the most well-put laptop I've handled. Extremely light, beautiful screen, great keyboard (I still rank Lenovo's T series as the best), wonderful trackpad. My only issue is it's mostly un-upgradeable and repairs will be a pain in the wallet.
