Ito pa, another one I am considering.

 

If anyone can offer me a similar item for purchase in Manila in a few weeks, I would much rather purchase it in the Philippines.

Mahirap kasi kung mag loko and my neice will have to deal with it. At least this way, she can always contact the local establishment wherever it will be purchased.

Where did you get it from? how much did it cost?

 

Sorry,

I bought it here in US. price is close to 2K USD. complete package with docking station and latest MS office. I only used for serious work. My old laptop, Compaq presario x1000 series with 1.8 centrino and 1GB ram still ok.

ok na to.. but then again try to buy a Compaq Presario laptop there.. there are numerous (around 2) Compaq Authorized service center here in the Philippines..

 

mine overheated after i brought it here, and they fixed it without any question..

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

There is a Compaq Presario model V3019 with a Radeon 6150 Graphics card that I am also looking at. It is one of my other serious considerations.

 

The info you just gave me may tip the scales a bit, unless there is also an Acer service center in Manila.

Bossing

 

Dual Core doesn't mean Dual Processor

 

hehehehehehehe!!!!

 

dual core IS dual processor..

"A dual core processor is exactly what it sounds like. It is two processor cores on one die essentially like having a dual processor system in one processor."

[Don Carleone]

not all, dell inspiron does not have that.. remember that you are actually paying extra for that warranty, so if you buy something more expensive, that means you paid extra for the insurance or warranty..

 

laptops are cheaper in the US, but then you still have to pay for the tax in addition to the price.. you should also consider that..

 

also its not actually cheaper in the US, its just the the Philippines is around 3 months lagging..

 

you buy a laptop in the US and you wait for 3 months, and you will see the same brand and spec selling at the same price here..

 

you buy in the US you are just 3 months more advanced..

 

i disagree.. i brought my laptop in the US.. its been 4 months and my laptop still sells for around 40-50% more.. and the specs are inferior to mine..

ok ba ung mga viper at ecs brand na notebooks?

[Green Lantern]

I had an ECS 4 years ago...never again!

[Little Johnny]

Thug... I do have a desk top pc at home.. but I can't let go of my laptop due to mobility reason (as mentioned by L3v3l).. Laptop has certain advantages for people like me.

 

Anyway, someone mentioned that HDD & RAM is upgradeable.. As I mentioned, this is my 4th laptop and was wondering if really can 'coz I'm having a hard time looking for upgrade parts..

 

Anyway for those who can help.. my current laptop is HP

ok ba ung mga viper at ecs brand na notebooks?

 

 

actually viper is just a name given by Villman computer shop to their generic laptops..

 

you can actually buy generic laptops by bulk in china and just give it your own brand..

 

there are numerous generic laptops around..

 

ECS is a leading desktop motherboard maker, although not sure if they also do the motherboard of their laptops.. it could also be the same generic laptop and was rebranded to carry the brandname of ECS..

the most popular, most common branded laptops in Philippines is HP and/or Compaq.. with availability of authorized service centers..

 

followed closely by Dell then Acer

 

acer is also popular but i dont have that much info about acer authorized repair shops..

 

 

if coming over to philippines, you are better off buying HP or Compaq laptops..

I agree with you Guys,

 

I have Dell D600 - gamit ko sa office.

 

So far, yung service Ok naman.

may local support kasi ang Dell sa pinas.

I have a Dell D610. I've been using it for almost a year now and so far, so good. The only drawback is the flimsy monitor hinge construction. After about six months, there's a noticeable "play" or movement in the hinge. I didn't experience this when I was still using IBM. Other than that, the D610 is just about as good as it gets as a travel laptop.
