Why don't you try the ipad or other tablets?

It is boring to play around on a small screen.

You may try Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note 2. S4 has the capability of using dual camera and multitasking, as for the galaxy note 2, is for bigger display. I don't recommend any sony as of now.

 

In my experience between Iphone, Samsung and Sony:

 

Sony's got some issues with their receiver.

 

Iphone is lacking the crispy screen that Samsung offers... It also lacks multitasking ability but Iphone's use of the camera is more clear than Samsung(or i just don't know how to use the samsung's camera).

 

As for Samsung S4. The battery sucks bigtime as it uses LTE, battery of iphone 5 is much better even if using LTE. But for multitasking, Samsung Galaxy S4 wins.

Im planning to buy a laptop.

 

Main purpose: writing papers, surfing, a little photo editing /archiving, video streaming/watching, sound tripping

 

Secondary purpose: games, edit my ipod formatted in a mac.

 

Budget: up to 55k

 

Which is the better choice: macbook or windows-based laptop?

What type of gaming, may I ask? Personally, I'm a Windows guy because of the number of programs readily available for the OS. Mac doesn't really have much games that go with the OS if you're looking into hardcore gaming.

 

Also you get your money's worth in terms of hardware specs with a Windows-based laptop.

Right now, flash games will do. Though I may look for old school rpg like the sims

 

Since I can't edit my ipod in a windows laptop, am I left with no other recourse but to reformat it?

Since playing games is your secondary purpose, get a macbook. And Apple products tend to perform better on audio video applications.

Do modern laptop batteries need to be fully charged and fully discharged to prevent memory effect? Or can they be charged anytime? I'm worried that charging batteries of laptops and other gadgets such as mobile/smart phones without first completely draining them of charge may shorten the operating life of the battery.

sir, what would be the signs of a hard drive failure in a laptop?tnx

Nope, depende lang siguro sa paggamit, ok lang naman yan but (i dont know if someone would agree) but totoo yung nababawasan ng liffespan ang battery ng laptop.

Me dalawa akong laptop dati, yung isa ginagawa ko yung ordinary charging at discharging, ang effect is nabawasan ng lifespan ang baterya ko after 1 year (from 4 to 2 hours) kaya ang 2nd laptop ko is nakadirekta minsan at kung alam kong hindi mawawalan ng kuryent, tinatanggal ko na lang yung baterya

sakin, biglaan na lang itong magpapakita lalo na kung:

 

1. minsan hindi na makita ng bios ang hard disk mo

2. nagkakaroon na sya ng bad sector pang nag chkdsk

3. courupt ang files(depende kung anung drive)

 

pero ang mahalaga, kung nagkaroon ka ng ganitong mga problema, panahon na para mag backup ka na

For a budget of up to 30k, my techie officemate suggested that I buy either of these:

 

Lenovo g480, Asus k450ca

 

Im using it for typing, surfing, movie watching, sound tripping, playing rpg like the sims, possible photo and video editing.

 

Any opinion? TIA.

i dont care about brandnames. i always pay attention to the specs particularly the processor speed. the rest can easily be added. but i will never buy an HP because my stupid bro in law works for them.
