    Check out Lenovo's Yoga 300. I held one a few days ago and the build quality is impressive.

    basta made in china.

    like yung mga picture viewers dati, di ba may built in virus that infects the usb then may program siya to upload your files to servers in china. yung sa sd cards same din. pati phones na made in china same din may spy chips.
    this is the main reason why the national broadband deal with ZTE was objected to. it is not merely the price or kickbacks. kung natuloy e all files ng philippine government pwede na nila ma-access.

    Its true. But then again I dont have any state secrets with me so I dont mind using Lenovo products.

    Besides, if the Chinese really target a country or person for hacking kayang kaya na nilang gawin through so many means

    i don't like Asus' current 11.6 inch offerings. The E202SA seems promising though.

    could be true, could be not.
    however, if you use the off the shelf configuration, including the standard drivers, that could be the reason.
    if you had it reformatted clean and have no state secrets in your unit.... why bother?

    i've had my inspiron 11 w/ touchscreen for about 2 years now, mainly for casual browsing, watching movies. Medyo nadelay yung shipping so i was only able to really use it for a litlle over a year. It only became usable after bumping up the RAM to 4GB.

    Within that time, the touchscreen went crazy so i had to disable it, and i'm currently using it as a traditional laptop. i've tried running Ubuntu on mine and i still get ghost touches, so i don't think this is just a driver issue.

    Battery life is so so, although i do play a lot of videos on it. Main attraction for me is the weight and portability. If not for the touchscreen issue, i'd say sulit na siya for what i paid.

    The 2015 Inspiron 11(3147)/13 are nice, price and specs wise, but i've come across some posts/videos about the "ghost touch" issues.

    I'm using a 5 year old Acer Timeline 1830T. Specs i3 380um (1.3ghz ultralow voltage processor) upgraded to 8gb ram and 480 gb ssd. Does everything I need it to. Its been my only computer for the past 5 years.

    Whatever you get, I suggest have at least 4gb ram. Better to have 8gb. Try to get a better processor than Celeron, it is very slow.

    Almost all the new laptops I see dont have an access panel for ram and hdd. You may have to remove the entire back cover to access them.

    I'm wary of it as well kaya sa smartphone or pc's, laptop, Taiwan na lang or Korean or kahit made in china eh US company naman.

    And yes, matibay Dell laptops in my experience.

    What really made me paranoid is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a major shareholder in Legend Holdings, parent company of Lenovo.

    yes, it is. mine is still working perfectly well. i bought it in 2010. dell inspiron n- series.

    what about the 11- inch MacBook Air? it's handy. it is what i am using now. (on second thought, out pala sa budget ni ts saka di puede pang lamba2x ito )
