jokiz · 20 years ago

hi abe,

are these good as development machines? are you using these?

Fleeb · 20 years ago

I want to buy… problem is, where can I loan?

vance · 20 years ago

Migs, 9k is big for people who are looking for good laptop, with 9k you can buy additional mems for your laptop. thats too big, I rather ask someone to buy it abroad than spending that much. Its ok if the dfference is around 1 – 2k bt 9k thats too big.

anyways i don’t know where it was made..

Miguel · 20 years ago

vance:
9,000 difference? that’s not much, considering shipping, tax, etc. the question is, are these made in China (?) units shipped to the Philippines directly or do they pass through the US.

Jaypee · 20 years ago

it’s really cheaper if you buy it here sa US. if you know someone who travels to the US or a relative who’s coming home to the Phils, you can ask them to get you one here. just make sure you specify the model and/or specs of the laptop that you want.

then when it’s sale, talagang sale. and the best time to buy gadgets/electronics is during Thanksgiving. people line-up in BestBuy like a day before just to be included in the number of people who can avail of special deals. an example, you can get a desktop for free after rebates. if you buy a digital camera like a digital SLR, you can get nice a very good lens, case, etc for free.

vance · 20 years ago

ah ic why didn’t you include that on the list? hehe just wondering..

apple has a budget laptop, i’ve tried it awhile ago the 13″ macbook it runs on 2.0 ghz intel dual core processor, 2mb l2 cache, 667 fsb, 512 ddr 2 mem, intel 950 64 mb ddr2 shared memory vcard, 60 gig sata drive, 4x dvd drive, firewire 400, usb, lan , built-in isight. it comes with osx 10.4.4 and ilife 06
price tag $1300 = P71500 but wait! price tag here in manila = 80 K laki ng differensya

i also heard that toshiba laptop has a dual core processor with dvd writer around 1k up (usd) kasi yung husband ng sister-in-law ng aunty ko bought one in us yun daw ang price..

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 20 years ago

Manuel: I edited the post to include the pre-installed OSes.
