roadkill69ph Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 14 inch WXGA smallest ng HP Compaq.. barely usable din 12 inch screen.. sasakit lang mata mo dun.. I was also looking at other brands like averatec, toshiba etc na 12-13in. I travel a lot so i wanted something light and handy. When i saw the HP it actually didn't look big (widescreen kasi). I used to have a 14" IBM Thinkpad during college and a 15" Toshiba Satellite (which is more of a desktop replacement laptop) So the 14" HP was a surprise. And it isn't that heavy too (well compared to the toshiba it was like comparing feathers to rocks). Quote Link to comment
THUG Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 problem with widescreen is that most web pages are designed for a standard 1024x768 screen.. how does a 1024x768 webpage or windows form, appear on your Wide screen XGA? Quote Link to comment

Games are a bit of a problem though when the screen is stretched a bit. Now players like D.WADE, TMAC etc appear short and stout on NBA LIVE. Quote Link to comment

tongresman2002 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Mas mura talaga laptop sa US..sometimes as much as 50% cheaper kesa dito.. and mga branded sila..although lahat naman ng laptop/notebooks today are manufactured/ODM sa china and taiwan. Ang habol mo ngalang pag branded..pag nasira..pede palitan. Tip lang kung nasa US ka now babagsak ang price ng mga Centrino and Celeron cpu coz lalabas na nextmonth and bagong Cual Core(Merom) ng Intel..expect a price reduction coz mag uunload na naman sila..best place to buy notebook at rock bottom price is EBAY and look for COMPUSAAUCTIONS coz they are actually selling old stock na laptops. They list it as USED but the truth is mga old stocks lang sila.. nanalo ko sa bidding for only $600(P31200) ng Compaq V4000 Centrino Pentium M 1.6Ghz cpu, Compaq R4000 AMD 64 for $700 and Gateway CeleronM 1.6Ghz ($550) ..so its really a bargain price.. ang tip lang...wag kaagad mag bid..maghintay ng last minute then try to outbid them in a reasonable way..or try mo magbid pag 12midnight ) most of the time tulog mga kalaban hehe..but other than COMPUSAAUCTIONS or BESTBUYAUCTIONS..never ever try to bid to other seller..those two seller kasi also have SHOPS so they are reputable company talaga... Just my two cents only..hope it helps..Btw Nabenta ko sa pinas ng almost double the price yung nabili ko don..hehe tubong lugaw.. Quote Link to comment
THUG Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 problema mo lang pag sa US ka bumili syempre wala ka nang habol sa warranty, unless may pambili ka ng plane ticket pabalik ng US hehehe.. or u could ship ur laptop sa kamag anak sa US .. pero laking hassle ata nun.. sakit sa ulo nun pag may problema pala laptop after you bought it..

Guest xHANGMANx Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) problema mo lang pag sa US ka bumili syempre wala ka nang habol sa warranty, unless may pambili ka ng plane ticket pabalik ng US hehehe.. or u could ship ur laptop sa kamag anak sa US .. pero laking hassle ata nun.. sakit sa ulo nun pag may problema pala laptop after you bought it.. all established international brands have this International Travellers Warranty I bought my laptop overseas and was able to avail of this warranty when I've encountered problem with my laptop they changed the whole motherboard, the problem was with the video card, Free of Charge, even though I have only 6 days left on the warranty If it was not covered by the warranty, it would have cost me 27k freaking pesos Edited August 3, 2006 by xHANGMANx Quote Link to comment
