Any specific models in mind, bro ? Frankly I'm a noob when it comes to laptops. :rofl01:

And what freebies should I expect ? Sa SM ko lang kasi balak bumili.

Hmm. Ok will keep that in mind, GH. Thanks.

Um. Any specific Lenovo models that will suit my preferences ? TIA.

Ok sana Mac but di kasya sa budget and it's not for me actually. Hehehe. Kung akin yan, internet and **** lang yung priority. lol.

Example of ASUS... Asus K43SA-VX085R, Intel Core i5-2430M CPU, 2GB DDR3, 750GB HDD, AMD Radeon HD6730 2GB VRAM w/ Win7 O.S. | VillMan Computers
meron budget to upgrade memory for a total of 4gb

Example of LENOVO ... Lenovo ideapad Y460p (5906-3677) Smarter and Faster with 2nd Gen Core i7! | VillMan Computers
but it exceeds your budget slightly... but you get an Intel i7

My current laptop is an Acer Aspire S3 because my priority was portability (including weight).

Perfect! May Villman sa SM. Thanks!

The Apple MacBook Pro 13" sells for around 58K and the Sony S series 13" sells for 54K. Both have almost the same specs. But which would you prefer?

I bought an IBM X60 Thinkpad 6 years ago and is still working great. Ibinigay ko sa pamangkin, nahulog, basag ang corner edge, gumagana pa rin.

I bought a Fujitsu L Series 3 years ago and now it's dead. I haven't check why.

I bought an Asus (forgot the model) for my wife two years ago, an Asus software installed in it made some 3rd party software incompatible. I removed it. Still working though.

I got a new Dell Inspiron (N4050) about a year ago. Still working great and never let me down, so far.


I think, any cheaper model would be fine kung hindi naman gagamitin pang games, CAD, or other design softwares.

is acer still a good brand? looking for a new laptop 30k range din, would want a dedicated gpu

but my 5 year old asus still works fine though

sa specs i think hindi magkakalayo yung mga brands, it all boils down to hardware reliability, warranty and aesthetics. so which is better-samsung, dell, asus, toshiba or acer?

Recently bought a Lenovo Z480 with the following specs:

3rd Gen Core i5 3210M
4GB RAM
GeForce GT630M with 2GB dedicated RAM
500GB HDD

I love the spacing of the keyboard and ease of typing. It's not as pretty as the new ultrabooks out there, but I think it's great value for the price (around 30k).

Priced at around P35K without OS. The specs are good aside from a little bit chunky. The chicklet keyboard is a nice touch towards the current trend in keyboard styles.

Hows the battery life? With a dedicated GF GT630M GPU, it might be a bit power hungry even in simple tasks.

A few days ago I bought an Asus UX32VD Zenbook (yes, I have gone insane buying this.... )

Specs:
Processor Intel® Core™ i5-3317U 1.70GHz Processor
Operating System Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit
Chipset Intel® HM76 Express Chipset
Memory 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM,
Display 13.3" 16:9 HD with EWV (1366 x 768)
Graphic NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 620M 1GB DDR3
Storage 500GB With 24GB SSD
Audio Built-in Speakers And Microphone - Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®


It has two GPUs, a basic gpu for normal needs and the Nvidia GT620M for games or other needs. Audio quality is superb, rich and solid. Better than in most laptops I have tried.

Planning rin to buy another lappy anytime soon. ~40k budget, w/ OS na sana.

Primary function: Internet, file storage, ****......

Main preference ko eh yun ok battery life and syempre yun walang lag lag kahit meron mga files.

Tsaka wag sana yun sobra liit naman na mga screen. Ok lang naman saken kung malaki o makapal yung lappy as long as it wont have a problem.

*GH: Magkano & san mo nabili? Ok ah, WIN7 Home Premium na yun kasama... 64 bit pa. Pero ano ba advantages ng i7 sa i5? Di ko kasi gets difference nila e.

My Asus UX32VD costed me just under P60K. But it does come with nice features like the dedicated fast GPU with 1gb of ram, lighted keyboard, a bunch of USB 3.0 ports, full size VGA port (on a cable), great sounding speakers by Bang & Otufsen, fast hybrid HDD/SSD 500gb storage and a full metal chassis.

As for the differences between i5 and i7... we can compare it to engine sizes.
atom = 1.0L
dual-core = 1.3L
core i3 = 1.6L
core i5 (mobile) = 2.0L-turbo
core i5 = 3.0L
core i7 = 5.0L V6

BTW, ASUS is coming out with the ASUS A46 Slimbook very soon. Although it is spec with the Intel Core i3 cpu at 1.8ghz, it's almost an ultrabook in slimness. 14inch LED screen, weighs at 1.9kg and still packs a DVD drive. It's priced to be around P28K.

Personally, if you are buying a new laptop and you do have the budget, best to go ones with Core i5 processors as minimum.

I negotiated mine to 33k 12 months 0% interest. I think they were willing to go down to 29k straight up cash.
Battery life is acceptable: around 4-5 hours for browsing. It has Optimus technology so it can automatically switch between the Intel HD4000 and the discrete GPU.

saw this too on bestbuy for $1,199.00 or around 50T..

Asus - Ultrabook 13.3" Laptop - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive - Radiant Silver - UX32VD-R7504F

the i5 version is only $999.99 or 42T

With the release of Windows 8 OS just around the corner, is there any specification do I need to look for when shopping for a laptop?

Do you think you need a touch screen feature in your laptop? Some of the laptops designed for Win8 takes advantage of the new "Metro" touch screen interface but many software and applications still have not yet migrated to the new layout and will go back to the standard desktop if you launch them in Win8 Metro.

Aside from a touchscreen laptop, there are tablet/laptop convertibles. These devices can transform into a tablet or laptop layout by either folding, sliding, detaching or rotating their chassis into the preferred configuration.
