Which laptop is the better purchase?

**_Cathy_** · January 22nd, 2013 02:09 AM

I'm deciding between 2 models priced at PHP30k and PHP40k

The differences are in red. Is it really worth the PHP10k price difference? I really like the backlit keyboard feature but I am hesitant to pay an additional PHP10k for that one feature that I like. And the other features may not be worth it since I only use my laptop to browse, email and download music from *******.

P30K vs. P40K?
i3 vs. i5?
NVIDIA vs. Intel for Graphics?
2GB vs.4GB?
Kingston 2GB Memory;DLINK Wireless Router DIR-605L vs. nothing?

Tama ba ang pagkaka-pick-up ko ng info?

Sis CFY, if I were you, I'd go for the P30K unit.

The P40K units does not offer much of an advantage for regular use of a laptop.

17.8K:snow:

what is the purpose? work? casual internet? gaming?

**carofsteel** · January 22nd, 2013 10:49 AM

pag music, browse and download lang panggagamitan sa i3 ka na sayang lang 10k na pwede mong ibili ng accessories ng laptop or kung ano pa. Pwede ka bumili ng external storage for backup. may sobra pa.

hanap ka ng laptop na windows 8 na ang OS.
actually the difference in price is due to the processor i3 vs i5 the rest halos pareho lang. if you're not into gaming ang video processing ok na yung mas mura but i really suggest hanap ka ng windows 8 na ang OS.

If you are frequent traveller go for Ultra Book..for the price of 40K meron na siguro dyan sa manila..

i'd recommend the Satellite L745 based on your usage.

**mika_23** · January 22nd, 2013 01:01 PM

Toshiba Satellite L745 is the best between the two because it uses sandybridge processor and nvidia gpu. The i5 uses only an onboard GPU and a 1st gen processor that has 4 cores that you will not be able to utilize based on your needs
