When is the right time to buy a loptop? During Christmas Holidays or by January na?

first quarter next year, lalabas na intel i5/I7 mobile processors but current gen processors are fast enough.

Computers are an impulse buy. You can wait til January to buy a laptop. Then there may be another round of discounts a month later. It's a never-ending cycle. So, I just buy when I need to (or more appropriately when the wife says so).

We're nearing our laptop update cycle and that ASUS G60vx (GTX 260M) for $1k at Best Buy looks mighty tempting.

Sir, kung totoong 3,495.00 pesos ung Asus K40IN...bilhin nyo na -- buy a dozen! Then sell them at 35k B)

Been eyeing the same unit for the past few months....afaik nasa 41k+ sya sa malls.

Just buy whatever you feel you need. Make sure it's upgradeable.

I bought my netbook at launch... the price was high, but I got a lot of use out of it, so I don't really mind.

I bought my current netbook in Feb 2009 at P21K. Today, the price is at P19K. A 3K drop in price but I think it's fine since I get a lot of use out of it.

Hay salamat buti lumabas na. It means the new Macbook & Macbook Pro are coming out. I wonder anong graphics card nun. I hope they don't go back to Intel Craphics for the 13s.

According to the Apple web site, the MacBook gets the 9400M while the MacBook Pros get the 9400M or dual gpu's: the 9600M GT and 9400M together. Hydra, maybe?

They're quite nice. But, I have my heart set for a $999 ASUS G60 desktop replacement/gaming laptop. I saw one configured with CoD: MW2 earlier at Best Buy.
