Computers: Frequently Asked Questions

mag brand new ka na para may warranty, mura na lang naman ngayon ang mga ganyan.

[kenji32]

Ok lang ba kung windows defender lang ang antivirus ng PC ko?

[glut_func]

mag download ka pa rin nung mga free tulad ng AVG ok naman sya kahit papano, sa experience ko parang hindi sapat yung windows defender lang ang protection ng pc mo...

I was considering buying 2 second hand. Just same price as 1 brand new. Any other inputs? How long b life ng led monitor?

[glut_func]

in my experience, 6 years na yung akin buhay pa rin. Ang mahirap kasi pag second hand wala ka habol pag nasira bigla. Mahirap pa ipaayos yan kung sakali dahil piyesa magiging problema mo dyan. Yung magiging repair cost mo might not be worth it in the long run pero depende syo lalo na kung kilala mo naman yung nagbebenta.

[wek1012]

office namin, 10 years na cguro ung mga ibang mga led monitor, mga square shape pa cla.

 

maganda ung mga dell na adjustable ung height and can also be tilted portrait mode. havent seen other brand with this feature.

[wek1012]

sa consumer laptops, important talaga build quality.

 

sa enterprise nmn, good quality plus excellent after sales support ang hinahanap.

Buy Asus Brand New Laptops
Why Asus? Reliability. They don't break easily as other laptops. The circuitry is planned well equals less hardware malfunction. Customer Service is great. It's like the Toyota of Laptops.
Pricing is also great. For the same specs of other brands, you can get it cheaper or same price of Asus with better quality of build.
If you want top of the line gaming laptop, simply choose their ROG series that will let you play games for entire days with epic cooling systems.

Why Buy New? Old laptops or second hand computers are just near their death or would just irritate you with being slow or having bugs and glitches because of the previous owner's "downloads".

Why spend Php 20k for a laptop that would last a year or so and irritate you within that year when you can spend Php50k for a new Asus laptop that would last more than 5 years without headaches.

Ok b second hand monitor? I wnt to buy a 22 inch or bigger. Quite layo ng price ng brand new compared a 2nd hand. I was looking at a dell second hand monitor

yup, kung afford mo brand new, mas maganda. baka kasi after one week mo bilihin yan, di na gumana yan.

Ok lang ba kung windows defender lang ang antivirus ng PC ko?

sa akin, nagwowork naman sya properly. i've been doing this practice for the past two years (Windows Defender lang), wala namang nagiging problema.

Although occassionally, i do scan the computer using Malwarebytes. baka may nakakalusot eh, pero wala naman.

[itikbitik]

need help po sa mga IT experts. ano po magandang business router sa office? around 100 employees po ang makikinabang. Yung may bandwidth monitor at bandwidth control per device sana. salamat po sa sasagot.

 

Try Ubiquiti networks.

 

I have an Edge Pro Router facing the WAN. Then in the LAN Side I have a 24 port switch that supports POE. Then 12 Access Points supporting close to 300 people.

 

I think you can get away with a 5 Port Edge Router box and 3 UAP‑AC‑LR Access Points.

 

I've read they have a reseller there in the Philippines. Budget wise less than 30K Php maybe. Not sure how much markup they do there. But from Amazon you can get them for maybe close to 400 USD.

 

This is the Router

This is the Access Point. You would need 3 of these.

If the floor area of the office is not that big you can get away with using this. This is already a 3 pack.

If you have money to spend on the solution 3 of these.

Mga sirs,

 

lazada - not sure if ok talaga..

powermac - yeah mahal nga at limited mga choices eh... specially sa 15 inch

 

Thanks btw will try tyangge.. sana makahanap. greenhills is the way right?

 

 

[glut_func]

not exactly a literal tyangge. What I was referring to are those electronic/gadget stores found in SM malls, you might have better chances there or if you're willing to take a risk, buy them online from the apple store or amazon na lang para mas wide ang options mo.

Hoping someone could help out...

Bumili kasi ako ng Hitachi 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" hoping na magagamit ko siya as external hard drive ko... bumili ako ng 3.5" HDD External case USB 2.0.. ngayon pag plug ko di siya nagautorun and di siya nalabas sa my computer, pero sinasabi ng laptop na may external device na nakaplugin naman... ang tanong ko po, 1. Bakit di siya narereflect sa My computer? And 2. Kelangan ba 3.0 din ang enclosure ko? Tia mga boss! Sana masagot po...

yung enclosure na binili mo dapat sakto sa drive na panggagamitan mo. Kung di ako nagkakamali may mga enclosure na naka indicate kung hanggang saan ang storage capacity ang kaya nyang i-support.

 

Ang nadetect ng computer mo is may nakasaksak na USB port pero hindi makita yung actual physical drive na nakakabit dun. Kung tama naman yung nabili mong enclosure at supported naman yung drive na sinaksak mo tapos ayaw pa rin madetect yung drive mismo, its either may topak yung enclosure mo OR hindi lang na-plug ng maayos yung drive sa loob kaya icheck mo maigi, make sure na naka-screw yan para naka lock sa dock ng enclosure at hindi nag wiggle at all. Eto yung mga common problem sa paggamit ng enclosures.

Hi i just bought a lenovo ideapad 310 151SK, 6th generation i5, 8 gig RAM, NVidia GEforce 920M ano kaya mga games kaya neto?

[Mrgoogley2889]

Also when i bought the laptop i was told na need ko ng microsoft office kasi naka windows 10, i was given a licensed microsoft 2013 na lifetime na daw for 2k okay ba yun? O nagoyo ba ako

[glut_func]

^you can pretty much get a free ms office instead of buying one, daming torrents online that can give you just that. As for the games, dami naman madodownload din na libre, mag check ka na lang online kung anong games kakayanin ng graphics card mo, kaya siguro nya mid to high settings ng mga modern titles ngayon...

mukhang nagoyo ka dude. unless there is an OEM certification dun sa installer mo (kung installer nga ang ginamit), or it is covered by a legit license. otherwise, pirated and cracked yan.

 

office365 na ngayon.... annual subscription.

[Mrgoogley2889]

Hmm naku pero licensed naman kasi nag lagay ng activation key. Anyways thanks guys! Bobo ko sa computer eh haha ano ba mga essential software na idownload bukod sa antivirus at chrome?

i can always get the activation key from torrents or even from youtube.

anyway, nandyan na yan. yaan mo na lang muna.

 

on the things that you need to download (based if you need them or not)

• Skype
• Winrar or Winzip
• Spotify
• Java Runtime
• .Net runtime
• Silverlight
• Shockwave
• Foxit PDF Reader (or Adobe PDF Reader)

You may download them (and have them automatically installed) at www.ninite.com

 

Make sure that your AV database is always updated.

[cyanblue69_03]

Ano latest model ngyun ng desktop

[Petyr Baelish]

Do not install shockwave or flash. Mag-iinvite ka lang ng virus dyan. Di naman na kailangan ng flash sa major streaming sites like youtube etc

 

Uninstall or disable flash in your browser, disable java in your browser too.

 

Also, foxit and adobe are too heavy for PDFs. Try SumatraPDF reader. Super fast.
