PC Corner Gilmore meron na 19k ata ung Asus EEE PC

[Google]

just bought a Gateway Laptop two weeks ago when i was in the states. Got it for 600 USD. Intel Dual Core, 1.2 GB RAM, DVD-Writer, very nice wide and clear monitor, WLAN, ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Graphics, 4-1 Media Reader, 120 GB DASD.

 

my only rant.... the Windows Home Vista Basic is really too slow. I would want to revert this back to XP Pro, but i am worried about the device drivers. Siguro pag na desperado na ako, tsaka ko na sya downgrade.

[Kurtsky Keigee]

Can someone give feedbacks on the ff?

Which is better and why etc etc. Thanks!

hindi ok to para sakin... if u will buy a laptop today... you better go to a core duo or turion and must at least have 1gbRAM.. most of the applications now a days require this as recommended... for windows dont go to the minimum.. the performance sucks..

 

Hey guys

Ung mga laptop niyo ba may dead/stuck pixels?

If ever pano niyo inayso or pinapalitan niyo ba?

 

cant be fixed you need to replace it... kung under warranty punta ksa pinagbilan mo para mapalitan... and para mapalitan sya may minimum # ng dead pixel kung isa lng... no chance na mapalita...

[chemistmd]

available na ba dito yang asus eeepc?

 

got my own asus eeepc. sa GHertz, Rob place ko nabili last sunday, Nov 18.

still using its linux OS (but i'm still looking for a user-friendly way to make an XP bootable SD card (current methods are too technical for me )

good thing with linux is that i don't have to worry about viruses and malware

[boomouse]

Yay! Amazon just delivered. I wanted a laptop more rugged than my Macbook Pro for really tossing around on out of town trips and since I have been able to install the new Leopard OS in my dad's C2D desktop from Virra mall, I thought that even if Apple did not make a ruggedized computer, several companies do and what's to stop me putting OS X on one of those? So, I got a more heavy duty version of Dell's ATG630 semi-rugged laptop:

 

The Augmentix XTG630

 

 

 

 

• CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo "Santa Rosa" architecture - 2.4GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB L2 Smart Cache

• Display: 14.1" Wide-Aspect - WXGA (1280x800) transmissive with outdoor readability (DirectVue™)

• Memory: 4GB DDR2

• Video: Intel GMA Graphics X3100-Vista (Aero Certified)

• HDD: 1.8" rugged, SATA shock-mounted, user-removable HDD Bay - 80GB

• Environmental Characteristics and Testing: Engineered and independently tested to Military Standards (MIL-STD-810F) for operation in extreme, challenging conditions. Level 54 Intrusion Protection (IP54)

 

MIL-STD 810F means that it must survive being dropped 29 times from a height of 36 inches on to an unyielding surface from every side. I know that keyboard is waterproof. I must check if it is blood proof too hehehe.

Who among here tried to place screen protectors on their laptops? The same screen protectors placed in PSP, DS. I saw one being sold I just need info on some of you who bought one... Thanks...

[castertroy101]

Ive used the 3M protector. It acts as a physical protector from damage and keeps peeping toms away from my long flights on planes or trains. As for the psp type screen protector they tend to get air bubbles in them if your are not careful.

My experience is that screens rarely get scratched unless you are grossly negligent. You will break the lcd first before you scratch it.

 

I use a film protector only on the external panels of my macbook pro to protect the aluminum case from scratches. I also use protction film on the trackpad and tracpad button to keep them from getting shiny and looking overused.

precisley....My first HP laptop had a regular aluminum back that would get scratch like crazy. Finally I got fed up and used double layered vinyl and custom cut around the top and insides. My new laptop the Hypersonic has a titanium back and...well no scratches at all hahahaha

[Fusarium_jimini]

hehehe, got a new thinkpad t60 widescreen from the states..can't believe the big price difference between here and there, more than 100% ang patong dito!...dun with bundled USB TV tuner pa..straight from circuit city!

 

pays to have a PAL pilot brother, hehehe..basta lusot sa customs hehehe..

[yaj999]

Oh! my screen protector din pala mga laptops tulad s PSP, well i dont intend to use one, cause i change my laptop every year.

You don't need any customs contacts. Computer imports in personal quantities are not taxed. I think the fact that your brother goes in and out of the country frequently is the greater benefit.

 

Besides, your T60 is a 2006 vintage notebook with the old core duo processor. It has been superceded by the t61 14 inch and t61 15 inch in the market. These are the widescreen models with the core2duo cpu. Later models of the T60 from the T60-1953 came out with a C2D interim to the T61 roll out. If you got one of these later ones, you got a bargain. Otherwise, half the price is par for the course.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but I have had some experience with Circuit City too and I had a feeling that the only time they heavily discount inventory is when it is about to be returned to the supplier anyway. Lenovo gives massive rebates on old inventory just so that they don't get returned.

ayun.. yesterday I was at a computer supply center/shop looking for a 48-port router (imagine that.. nasa probinsya ako and they have this on hand while dyan sa manila you have to pre-order it). anyway, I saw a USB TV tuner on the display case and it got my attention, but I didn't ask the sales clerk about it since nakadouble park ako sa labas ng shop at nagmamadali.

 

how does that USB TV tuner work? and how much is it? what does it do? para sa mga local TV lang ba yan?

Ah but I don't care for those things anymore. I now use a ruggedized laptop from Augmentix. Originally shipped with Vista but I threw that away and installed a hacked version of Mac OS Leopard. Works like a dream. I even got the wifi, and other accessories to work.

[backlash]

Currently using a Toshiba Satellite X205-S7483 model. Satisfied with the performance as with its power but am disappointed with the weight. I guess I made a wrong decision getting this one as I need to carry it on international business travels. Anyone have suggestions which model I can purchase with the same power and with finger scan protection,preferably light weight? I used to own a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ38GP/c...quite ideal for me kayalang got stolen by akyat-bahay gang when they broke into my house. :cry:

[beast622]

got a 2yr old sony viaopcg-k25 from my sister:.....simply amazing with it's 15.3 crisp lcd screen:512 memory nga lang but upgradable to 1 gig:prob is the battery only last 30 mins nlng.......

[cykee]

ive got a sony vaio vgn-sz28gp. slim, wide screen, lightweight, crisp lcd. 1gb ram 120gb hd. nvidia graphics card. fingerprint access. only drawback is the battery, after 6months madali na sya ma drain. 20-30min na lang.

[quinlanvos]

Have vaio nr series. It's quite fast but havent really checked how the other programs run with it.

[Bitoy]

I have a Compaq Presario V3234. Ano nga palang magandang panglinis sa surface ng laptop? Meron bang mga commercially available na cleaning fluids? Kinakapitan na ng alikabok eh.
