Which laptop is the better purchase?

[_Cathy_]

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 *******.

kung ako, dun na ako sa mas mura.

mahal sa villman. may mas mura pa dyan sa gilmore.

hanap ka din ng walang kasamang OS. mas mura pa.

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.

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

[carofsteel]

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.

for ****

[Bin Diesel]

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.

[NightRock]

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

[garfield_08]

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

[mika_23]

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 .

Then you need lots and lots of TB space, bro...

Plus a huge screen.... :naughty2:

[rukawa11]

kung bibili ka ng laptop yung walang O.S mas makakamura ka, kung bibili ka ng may O.S. na worth is 40k, nasa 34k-36k lang presyo nun kung walang O.S. na kasama, mahal kasi ang O.S, dimo naman kaylangan ng original kung ikaw lang gagamit.

kung toshiba bibilhin mo, hmmmm base sa experience namin madali masira HDD nyan.

[robot.sonic]

oo nga. yung hdd ng toshiba netbook ko nasira kaagad. almost after 1 year lang.

[xninjax]

Is your choice limited to toshiba? There are better options aside from toshiba.

If I were you get something that has Core i7 processor and windows 8 OS

[testament11]

Siguro naman Cathy, eh hindi ka naman isang heavy user. So for that, I'll go with the first choice. Pero much better if you look more. Mahal sa Villman talaga. Better take a look at tipidpc para sa mga mas mura pang laptops. Tsaka ang alam ko, meron nang 3rd generation (Ivy Birdge) Intel processor based laptops na ngayon

[nelany]

Depende sa pag gagamitan niya. Hindi pang mobile for sure kasi laki ng screen at mabiigat ito unlike sa Ultrabook. Pag normal na pang internet at normal documents pwede na yung mas mura. Kung mobile ka better yung Ultrabook, hindi laglag yung balikat mo pag kinerry mo.

I've learned my lesson na. I'm not gonna store **** in my laptop anymore,

kung bibili ka ng laptop yung walang O.S mas makakamura ka, kung bibili ka ng may O.S. na worth is 40k, nasa 34k-36k lang presyo nun kung walang O.S. na kasama, mahal kasi ang O.S, dimo naman kaylangan ng original kung ikaw lang gagamit.

Gusto ko rin sana makamura kaya lang hindi naman ako marunong mag install ng OS. Sa kabilang thread ko nga about my Toshiba laptop na nasira, mukhang HD yung problema. I'm satisfied naman with my Toshiba kasi 7 years din na laspag bago nasira.

I prefer Toshiba kasi I had a good experience with my previous Toshiba laptop. It took a lot of abuse from me and didn't give my problems until now (on its 7th or 8th year)

[_Cathy_]

Thanks everyone for replies!

I mainly use my laptop for browsing and I barely even use MS Office. Also, I carry my laptop around the house din lang . I wanted the backlit keyboard and aluminum body feature of the more expensive laptop. But it's not practical nga

Yup mahal sa Villman but they have good customer service kasi. I was a regular customer in their Rufino office but I have not been to Villman since I got my Toshiba laptop 7 or 8 years ago. I hope the service is just as good as before.

I'll go against the grain here and recommend you buy the more expensive model if you can spare the money.

it has an i5 processor with 4Gb RAM and Windows Home Premium compare to the other model na i3 only with 2Gb RAM and with Home Basic. even if i was only browsing and watching ****, i'd rather have the extra power and resources.

kung HDD lang problem ng old laptop mo, palitan mo nalang HDD nya, mura lang naman yun, hindi naman totally sira ang old laptop mo, tutal naman hindi ka heavy user siguro yung specs ng old laptop mo ay pwedeng pwede pa sayo.para di ka na bumili ng bago.
karamihan kasi ng new laptop ngayon ay pang heavy user na like me, ginagamit ko sa pc games, software applications etc.
sabi mo pang ms office lang naman at browse siguro naman yung 8 years old mo na laptop ay pasok pa quality nyan.

pero kung marami ka naman pera bili kana nga lang ng bago
