Laptop/Notebook Owners

[ragstoriches]

I want to buy the best laptop that my Php70,000 budget would buy (hi functionality, loaded features).

 

Please give me your recos (would appreciate it if you state the major reasons why). Need is all-purpose. Must be MS Vista.

[ragstoriches]

Correction, not necessarily Vista but necessarily MS.

[ragstoriches]

Here are my other considerations :

 

at least 2Gb RAM

at least 2.26Ghz speed

at least 200Gb HDD

at least 1440x900 resolution

at least 1.3megapix built-in Webcam

at most 7.5lbs weight

 

Thanks in advance!

Parekoi Skip,

 

Looks like you have one of those top-of-the-line computers. How much score mo rito ? Where did you buy ?

 

I did some research and looks like there were many upgrades that you built in to the standard out-of-the-box package (eg. standard was 2.2Ghz, you got 2.4Ghz; standard is 2Gb memory, you got 4Gb; standard is 160Gb HDD, you got 320Gb HDD). Is this statement true or did you get it as is (meaning, the specs below are already configured.) Thanks.

 

 

DELL XPS 1530

 

Intel core 2 duo T8300 2.4 Ghz

4 Gb Memory

Nvidia 256 mb video card

320 gd sata HDD

15.4 LED wide screen ultrabright

slot loaded dvd rw

2 mp video camera

Fingerprint security scanner

McCafee virus protection 1 year

HP Pavilion DV2000

AMD Turion 64 x2

2 gig ram

160 hard disk

uso pala ung nakawan ng laptop sa atin. nabasa ko lang ung tungkol sa isang tipippc member na nahuling nagbebenta ng laptop doon pa naman ako nagrerefer sa tpc pagkamay nagtatanong sa akin ng laptop.

Haha. Tama ka chief. The sad thing is there is not much light gaming laptops. One that I see is Sony VGN FW series, 6.4lbs!

Alienware. Mahal nga lang (x2 sa 70k price). eto na ang ultimate gaming laptop.

[talibong]

I got a sony vaio.

 

Problem though, di na yata gumagana fan nya. Nag-ooff kapag sobrang init.

 

Do you know a service center for sony laptops? If I'll get back to manila, paayos ko.

Preferred brand ko talaga Compaq/HP.

 

First choice ko Alienware or vaio pero kulang budget

Ok ba mga 13 or 12" na laptop? May nakita ako sa mall the other day sale na mga maliliit na laptop

[sir_boss_master]

Wow your laptops rock! 4gb of memory? kakainggit naman. Mine is nothing fancy. yung kaya lang ng budget.Acer aspirecore2 duo Vista home premium1.66ghz 1gb memory120gb hdd

[bher2]

Mga bossing uuwi kasi ung kapatid ko next month dalawang laptops ang pagagawa nya dyan sa pinas. Meron ba kayong alam na repair shop ng laptop sa atin. Kung meron kayong alam na repair shop sa greenhills or ortigas or megamall mas ok. Thanks.

[ragstoriches]

Ah yeah. Tama ka parekoi LeCOq. Thanks for the tip. It did not occur to me out-of-the-box could also mean a customized package. I guess I was limiting my understanding of out-of-the-box to the standard config when the model was launched.

 

After much research, I went for the HP Pavilion dv5t via online.

old school hp z series laptop. need an upgrade

[MRROUGHSEX]

Alienware is overrated. Just get the Dell laptop of parekoi Skip. It's half the price AND most importantly, portable. Alienware weighs 8.5lbs up; in short, parang me dala dala kang halos 4 na kilong bigas parati. It will definitely stunt your growth. Di ka tatangkad and worse, magkaka-scoliosis ka pa. Haha. Ika nga nung isang poster, if it's at most 7.5lbs, "get a desktop, seriously". And, even though the joke's on me, he is correktomundo!

 

If you don't plan to bring it around and show off to your peers, then all the more it's smarter to have a regular Dell. After all, Alienware is made by Dell. They just re-branded it for market niching purposes. Kaso bistado na natin haha. Whatever Alienware will have, the regular Dells will also have.

 

I'm telling you, as long as your laptop has the ff specs - 1440x900,2G,2.26GH,256MB video memory and weight of at most 6lbs, it is perfect for gaming.

 

Instead of having more memory in chipset (not necessarily bad but really, how much can you need and actually use?), might as well invest in higher resolutions. The Alienware I saw at PHp179,000 is a laughable 1280x800. The Php189,000 is 1440x900, but "Php189,000" ? My HP is 1680x1100 and it's less Php100,000.

have an hp 2725 and a sony vaio cr35. mas mabilis ang graphics sa sony kasi naka 256mb video whereas my hp only has 128mb shared i think.
