I may be wrong but afaik leonovo was one of the manufacturers of thinkpads even before they bought out ibm.

It could be that Lenovo is a contract manufacturer for IBM in the heydays but ownership & contract manufacturing are two different bananas... Mas mataas quality control ng contract manufacturing relationship because IBM can reject the laptops that did not pass their quality control... now being an owner may degrade the quality especially if Lenovo is cost-cutting... from the news... it seems that they are losing money and are also sub contracting the thinkpads... so as a buyer your only basis is to have a subjective evaluation of IBM quality control over Lenovo quality control...

Wishlist:
Upgrade to 1GB (or more as max is 2GB)
Upgrade harddrive to 120GB

[userfriendly]

those are easy upgrades. just buy from newegg or some other store.

[mikmik316]

yeah add 1Gb to make it 1.5....

and Replace the Hard Disk to 120Gb and make sure you get the 60Gb and buy an external 2.5inch HDD enclosure... voila! instant USB Hard Disk!

Just got a Toshiba L35 today at WalMart and i am using it now while in LAX. Here is the link http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...t%27s+Included

Got it for USD 650 including all taxes, not bad for Php32t. Good thing i brought over my laptop bag as it does not come up with one.

Turions tend to run warm. I have a ML28 and it used to get hot. If yours get to hot then you might want to think about undervolting it. It lowered my temps a lot.

pretty decent since according to the specs... may Atheros chip sya so malamang pwede ng Super-G mode... and a 32k for a Toshiba? Mahal talaga Toshiba dito sa Pinas kahit service itataga nila ang presyo....

I recently purchased two notebooks, one for the wifey and the other for myself. I bought my wife a Gateway which was on sale from $999 down to $750, and during the Black Friday sale where I waited in line for four hours in the cold, a Compaq which originally sold at $750 for $399. The four year old desktop which I was using is now in the little hands of our three year old daughter.

[mikmik316]

haaayyy... Next tym pagpunta ko U.S. sisiguraduhin kong itatapat sa black friday punta ko...

nice pics!

[redlake_56]

Uso sa desktop webcam e when you take still pictures upto max of 1.3Mp ang captured pero pangit pa rin ang picture quality...

Most 1.3Mp sa mga notebooks e mga 350k pixels compared to 300k sa desktops so I guess it could have better picture quality talaga...

Magandang picture quality e yung iSight ng Apple at of course Hi-End Logitech Webcams costing 4,000++

OT = tanong lng, bakit nga ba pangit mga resolutions ng mga built in cam na nag sasabing 1.3 MP ? ... ms mabuti pa ata resolutions ng mga webcams na usb sa desktop ... hehehehe ... grainy yung dating ng images

yeah compact is correct 1 year lang ang battery... but that is a "dispensable" item... mas importante na 2 years ang warranty ng major parts like the LCD, Motherboard dahil pag yan ang nasira... maluluga ka talaga... Optical Drives can be replaced.... heck baka nga next time pwede mo pa i-upgrade to Blue Ray yan e...

Saka dont blame too much Asus for the defective Optical Drive... kung sila ang manufacturer nun e di we can blame them right away for poor quality pero kung iba which is Matsushita & Toshiba usually, then sila ang may quality control problem... besides... kung palaging ginagamit for watching movies ang DVD drives, mas mabilis masira nga to... Look at the PS2 ganyan din sakit....

Sad to hear though na matagal dumating ang battery... you can blame the supplier (who I know) pero what you can just do at your end is demand an extension of 3 months... kasi ang tagal mo nag antay e... just make sure its in writing....

seguro may batch na madaling masira na optical drive, mine matagal na to been a lot of dvd burnings, readings.. mag 2yrs this coming july07 lapit na expire international warranty ko ni isang part never let me down or been replaced.... i just replaced the 60G to 80G last time ala pa kasi mga 100G last year

meron talaga bro, maniniwala na sana ako na dahil lang sa madalas gamitin kaya nasisira, pero yung dalawa kong kasama sa trabaho, sira din dvd nila, di naman nila madalas gamitin. sabay sabay kami nag claim ng warranty. natapat lang siguro, sana bilisan lang ng service center sa susunod ang service nila. happy new year to all...
