Kurtsky Keigee Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 depends on wat game u play.. if its just DOTA, u dnt need a video card.. pde na built in.. also, if u download a lot, 40 gig is not enuf.. 80pde pa.. tho u can just have 40gb, and just burn everything u download.. memory i suggest 1 gb.. for processor i suggest centrino, core duo, or core 2 duo of u have the budget.. best processors on the market right now.. WLAN is wireless local area network.. LAN is just local area network.. so if u want 2 wifi, u need WLAN.. u can buy a separate WLAN card for u laptop, but its much MUCH better if its built in..no idea sa cost.. sorry.. pentium M is decent.. centrino is better.. best is dual core.. core 2 duo even.. ofcrse, pricey.. depends on ur budget, and depends how long u plan to use ur laptop before buying a new one.. Salamat sa ulong!Ano naman pal adifference ng Centrino,Pentium M,Dual Core at Core Duo?Ung Dual Core sa Laptop same ba un sa Dual core sa Desktop? Any Idea on prices of s adifferent processors? I did some dindow shopping and pinaka mura so far is centrino.. Next Pentium M.. Ok ba AMD na laptop or Pentium? Wala pa akong nakikitang laptop na more than 1, Ghz processor.. :cool: Kinda slow If ill also want to play some high end games..On a limited budget Quote Link to comment
Don Carleone Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 So I cankeep my current DSL subscription now having a DesktopWhen I get a laptop I dont need ot get a new one?

AFAIK, mas mabagal ang processors ng laptop kasi its made to consume less power and run cooler.. Quote Link to comment

Ic.. so hinde rin pala worth kumuha ng mataas na processor speed sa laptop like 2-4-3ghz if ever meron dahil you wont be able to use it that long at mainit? hmmm.. makes me think twice Quote Link to comment

missmanners Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 i have a macbook and i love it. much better than any of the notebooks i've owned before. maybe because it's a mac. Quote Link to comment
Kurtsky Keigee Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ic thanks forthe info Natanong ko lang kasi if in case I intend to play demanding games sa laptop na matas requirements di ko malalaro ung iba kasing newer games require fast processor if im not mistaken Quote Link to comment
Don Carleone Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 not just the procesor.. lahat ng parts may 2long sa pagpapatakbo ng programs.. memory, HD, vid card and processor.. if one of the components are left behind by the others, it will cause a bottleneck and cause programs/ games to run slow.. for games i believe its more on the video card and memory.. but the processor and HD also plays a major role.. HD is not just about capacity.. notebook HDs have 5400 and 7200 rpm.. for desktops, there are already HDs that run at 10000 rpm.. Quote Link to comment

chico_light Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 in buying notebooks di lang dapat specs at prices ang dapat nating consider. kahit na anong brand yan ... * ALMOST ALL comes from TAIWAN* ALMOST ALL has INTEL/AMD processors or components kaya dapat consider din natin ang warranty, service at customer support. also, do consider if other compents are upgradable like, processor,memory,harddrive i hope this help. thanks ----------------------------------------- chico Quote Link to comment
jlucas03 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Guys, do you know if there's a "Laptop Privacy Filter" available locally? It's a kind of sheet that you place on your laptop's screen that makes it (the screen) unreadable unless you're directly in front of your laptop. It is useful when you're in public places like coffee shops and you don't want people snooping around and seeing what you're doing in your laptop. I looked at the 3M website and they have one. I contacted them and they referred me to a local distributor. Unfortunately, this distributor doesn't accept retail orders. They only accept wholesale orders (5 pieces or more) plus they have to order abroad so it takes 3 months daw for the order to be processed and delivered. Do you guys know where I can buy this "Laptop Privacy Filter"? Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Go for 80GB or higher. Quote Link to comment

missmanners Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm planning on buying a macbook too. How will I convert my MS office or other Windows applications files to mac readable files? most office applications documents between win`98 and xp will be automatically converted. if you have trouble, you can always use boot camp and run windows from you mac. you can have both win and mac platforms running on the most stable system to date. drawback is, it's a hassle to switch from win to mac because you have to restart your computer everytime and boot into the platform you want. people say it's not practical to buy the macbook yet because it hasn't really performed as fast as it should with the existing programs and apps it comes with. but the great thing about buying a mac is the stability. you never have to worry about viruses and such. and when there's something wrong, customer service is tops. get a mac! get a mac!

Thanks hmm for gaming ndi kaya ng specs unless old games ilalaro mo.. it doesnt have a dedicated vid card.. also, the memory is not sufficient.. plus, the screen is only 12", unless ok lang sayo na mamuti mata mo sa liit ng screen.. 1024x768 max resolution is also not good.. the 40GB is also too small.. if u have a small HD, id go for a DVD writer so u can burn data.. but, it is after all a 12" laptop which was NEVER meant for gaming..
