friedkamote Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) I bought an (ACER) EMachines D725 a year ago. Intel Dual-Core T4200 @ 2GHzIntel GMA 4500MHD video adapter4GB dual-channel DDR2-800 (upgraded from 2GB single-channel)320GB HDD (upgraded from 160GB)Battery life: 4+ hours (Multiple instances of MSOffice programs with wifi receiver turned-off) I urgently needed a utilitarian and no-frills laptop for my presentations, word-processing, and web-browsing needs that time. I didnt want anything expensive or fancy (since these become obsolete anyway in a mere 3-4 years and i have no use for the added ports). Something that's low-profile and doesn't scream "Hey mister mugger i have a very expensive and shiny laptop you can steal!". I was actually considering a lenovo netbook because of portability issues but i was turned-off by the fact that they dont come with built-in optical drives. At first i was skeptical since i knew EMachine's reputation in the US before being bought by Gateway and then ACER. So far it has been serving me well. No problems encountered. It's fast enough for what i use it for and has good battery life. Great bang for the buck! Edited May 26, 2010 by friedkamote Quote Link to comment

Immortal666 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have an MSI GX620 laptop. It works great, no complaints for me so far. However just earlier today, may nabali na plastic part dun sa portion na nag-fofold. May crack na ngayon yung left edge ng screen/monitor (not the screen itself). I'm just wondering kung naaayos pa ito and if ever, saan puede ipa-ayos. Ngayon kasi pag finold mo yung screen, parang mas lalong lumaki yung crack and masira pa lalo. So hindi ko ma-fold ngayon ang laptop ko. Please help! Quote Link to comment

butchochoi Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 What's a good laptop/notebook that you could recommend? I'm a teacher kasi and most of the time, I need one for slideshows and web browsing in school since may wi-fi. Yung bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment
alloy v7.6 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I bought this MSI EX460 last month. I was hunting for a Laptop with the specs I wanted and would suit my needs. I'd have bought a desktop PC but was afraid of the electric bills it would provide me with plus i didn't have enough space for a Desktop PC. The first candidates was a Dell (with a free Deskjet Printer and an Acer (with a free low-end Samsung Phone). I was bent on getting the Acer against my will (I have developed lack of trust with Acer due to the defects in the casings of its earlier models. Around Year 2000, their laptops' casings would crack by itself even if you're really careful in handling them. I'd say cheap materials for over-priced laptops. They countered this by changing the material they use but I couldn't easily remove my distrust.) because it had slightly better specs than the Dell. The problem was that I was short of money and had to go to the nearest ATM Machine. They pointed me out on the wrong direction. Thus, I was able to stumble upon the demo units of MSI. I examined the specs and they were better than the earlier choices. But I only got a 500 peso discount and a free mouse. It was worth every penny and more. I haven't handled any laptop like this which I could tame to my exact likings. Plus, its quite durable. I've accidentally dropped it once but there was barely a scratch and there wasn't any decrease in functionality and performance. Pagkapulot ko, tuloy pa rin ako sa ginagawa ko. I'd say I got more than what I bargained for. Sinubukan kong kunan ng pics at nun ko lang napansin na napaka photogenic pala nung laptop na yon. Hehehe. But for you, Saer Butchocoi, I'd recommend a netbook with a port for the projector. I rememeber the saleslady telling me they had an MSI Netbook selling for only 15K. The only drawback is that it doesn't have an optical drive. But that can easily be countered by buying an external DVD R/W Drive. I think CD-R King carries one of those which comes in a surprisingly pleasant price tag. Another alternative would be NEO. The "Basic" Series come with very friendly price tags but could be considered an eyesore if compared side by side with higher priced brands. If you only want functionality and are willing to sacrifice beauty, NEO is the way to be. may Netbook din yata sila. Kaso lang, kung 15K or more din naman ang price tag, I suggest you go for the 15K MSI Netbook I mentioned earlier. Quote Link to comment
deepdiverboy Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 HP Pavilion dv7. The best laptop I've ever had. Tablet convertible, with fingerprint scanning integrated. Tapus never nag-hang even when playing movies and scanning viruses in the background. Purrfect! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

friedkamote Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 What's a good laptop/notebook that you could recommend? I'm a teacher kasi and most of the time, I need one for slideshows and web browsing in school since may wi-fi. Yung bang for the buck. I guess you're not a power-user. Any netbook from a reputable brand will do you good (they're very portable too). Some go for less than 20K. Majority have no optical drives though. Quote Link to comment
