nwebe Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 uso pa ba loading of pirated office suite? Piracy won't go away anytime soon in the Philippines. Not while we have easy access to such. The big music and tv companies' have accepted this fact, and rather than go after those using pirated stuff, they offer "less expensive" access to such products, like streaming music (e.g. Spotify) and video (e.g Netflix). MS and other big software makers are getting into a similar bandwagon by offering subscription to cloud-based services like Office 360, Adobe Creative Cloud, etc. I got a new tablet and am looking at my safest options, should i just go with Open Office software? Gusto ko kasi ng Outlook for calendar functions, Anong OS ng tablet mo: Android, iOS (iPad), or Windows? Office comes bundled/pre-installed with Windows tablets. Sa iPad available na rin ang MS Office. Not sure sa Android. Quote Link to comment
mutomuto Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 better get a Windows tablet if you want synchronicity with Microsoft ecosystem Quote Link to comment
ElRey Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi folks, thank you for your reply, I have a Microsoft Surface, and quite honestly, the Office 365 package or the Office package, even the monthly, is quite expensive (compared to free, hehehe, pirated)... What should I do? Should I just suck it up and pay up? Right now I am using Office Libre ( free software,) works great, but not quite like the real thing... I wanna do some fancy excel dashboards kasi.. Any excel experts out there? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment

What should I do? Should I just suck it up and pay up? As long as it is the Intel-based Surface model, you can treat it like a laptop when it comes to [wink] installing software. Right now I am using Office Libre ( free software,) works great, but not quite like the real thing... LibreOffice is getting better (including file format compatibility) and can already be a replacement to MS Office for most basic to intermediate tasks, but... I wanna do some fancy excel dashboards kasi.. There are just things the MSOffice excels at, pun intended. PivotTable runs rings around DataPilot, for example. I haven't tried the BI features of Excel, though, as we mostly use LIbreOffice in the office. Quote Link to comment

Check mo na rin for signs of spillage or corrosion. You can usually find in youtube or google mga teardown instructions. Quote Link to comment

glut_func Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Meron ako 2 PC. Mga months lang diff sa pagbili. Ang main diff lang eh mas bago yun mboard ng isa. Kung disk clone ko yun mas bago dun sa luma, ano possible problems ma-encounter? Given na tama yun cloning? TIA software incompatibilities lalo na sa drivers pero madali lang rektahan yan, download na lang ng latest from the manufacturers website or use the disc that came with the board - provided there is one.

Either you have bad RAM causing data corruption or failing na talaga hard disk mo... To check the RAM, you can download and burn to a CD/DVD any Ubuntu Live CD distribution, boot the newly-burned CD/DVD, and choose Memory Test. If the test completes without any errors, then HD mo na ang may problem. Back up mo na yung mga files mo. Kung ayaw na mag-boot kahit sa Safe Mode, boot the Ubuntu Live CD to get to you files in the hard disk. Quote Link to comment
