The year 2011 has seen so many tablets invading the market. It seems like the golden age of netbooks has come and gone and tablets have replaced it as the preferred portable computing device.
Still, despite the growing popularity of tablets, I think a significant percentage of the consuming public still prefer netbooks (or, due to lack of budget, are still stuck with their old netbooks).
As such, we’re seeing netbooks being sold at under Php15k (or 30-50% cheaper than what they used to be).
So is the “laptop vs. netbook” battle shifting to “netbook vs. tablet”? For people who have multiple (at least 2) computing device, what’s your usual combination?
a) Laptop & Netbook
b) Laptop & Tablet

d) Desktop & Laptop
e) Desktop & Netbook
f) Desktop & Tablet

all 4, simple lang ang dahilan, bawat gamit eh para sa specific na task, alangan namang dalhin ko desktop ko kahit saan, ano ko sira? me nagagawa ang desktop ko na di magagawa ng laptop ko lalo na’t bihira ma upgrade or expand ang laptop di gaya ng desktop. tapos heto ang tablet, maaring me magawa ang tablet na kaya ng laptop ganon pa man, di pa rin lahat. minsan me mga engot na ikukumpara ang iba’t ibang gamit tapos magtatanong kailangan pa ba to or hindi na hindi naman naiintindihan kung bakit ginawa yung gamit at para sa kung ano. at marami akong nakitang komento dito na nagpapakita na nakakaintindi. ganon pa man, nasa tao rin ang kompromiso kung ok na sa kanya ang gamit o hindi, gaya na lang ng mga taong ginagamit ang flat screwdriver dahil alang paet sa paglilok, o kutsilyo dahil alang screwdriver pag me gustog tanggalin na turnilyo. at siyempre, kung meron lang perang pambili, kung marami, alang kinalaman kung ano ang ano dahil oks lang dahil no probs sa budget
It’s now B for me since I just recently purchased an iPad. Laptops for work and playing facebook games (addicted to this). My iPhone and iPad are for light web browsing, tracking things (like expenses, blood pressure, period, hehehe), and reading books.
Price and function still commands the market share of laptops, netbooks, and tablets. At present, tablets haven’t progressed yet to the point of having the core functions of a PC/MAC. The price of tablets are also prohibitive so their penetration is for the niche market, at best. My current setup is: laptop + netbook. Still haven’t found a necessity to go for a tablet.
Mine is “B”
Laptop + Tablet
cheftonio
my setup is desktop for gaming because it’s cheaper to upgrade.
my laptop for my online work because it saves electricity even if it is turned on all day.
my windows mobile phone for everything else. i’m still on the hedge with tablets. maybe if the prices become cheaper.
All 4.
1. I leave my powerhouse at home.
2. My netbook provides decent PC performance with great portability.
3. My laptop for when I go out on conventions out of town for at least a day or two, provides more power than the netbook. And let’s face it, netbooks don’t really say “I’m here on business.”
4. My iPad makes for good quick RSS feed, news and updates reading and facebooking while I cross my hands waiting for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Blackberry Playbook to hit the market. Sure I can do that with my iPhone, but I’m not really fond of small screens.
its desktop+laptop+tablet for me before but I prefer desktop+laptop+netbook now, there is something that a physical keyboard that no touch interface can suffice.

Desktop & Netbook
its been like this for all of us in the house for the past 2 years. we are all skeptical with the tablet technology, we feel its a kids toy.
Laptop (Acer Aspire 1830T Timeline X) and Tablet (Apple iPad 1) for me.
it’s all about easy access and practicality. i’d have to go with laptop and tablet.
Laptop and Desktop.
Desktop doesnt age much as the laptop, price consciouswise din
Laptop, Id prefer ultrathin btw, to get more out of my mobile needs. Netbook is too slow for me and quite impractical for my needs and same goes to tablet, kulang na kulang ako sa functions, eye candy lang nga.
i’d prefer for Desktop and laptop for heavy usage.
Desktop can be upgraded parts by parts which will turn out to be more economical and durable.
Laptop on the other for multiple usage including dvd movie watching annd game loading.
…sige nga mag office 2007/2010 ka nga sa Tablet?
…kakasoldout lng ng Asus 1015 PEM netbook sa VIllman
at mas mura netbook sa tablet, besides pwede ka rin mag angry birds sa netbook ^^, san ka pa.
@chacha, sino ba nagsabi na di puedeng mag office 2007/2010 sa tablet? kasi me windows7 na tablet na merong ms office, hehehe…
you guys are burning money. sayang ang pera. Just buy a 12 inch netbook/subnotebook and you are good with just 1 device. You don’t need a desktop PC. Desktop PC is provided to you at work.
The Asus EeePC Transformer just came out, a 10.1″ tablet that can dock into a keyboard for extra battery and lots of different ports. Tas + desktop ok na suguro needs mo.
TabTop for me. Ang dami namang anti-tablet people dito. Pakialam ninyo.
sa huli depende parin yan sa kung ano ba ang kailagan nyong gadget sa kung ano mang gagawin nyo,kung saan kau comfortable e di un ang gamitin… wala nalang pakialaman hehe PEACE to U all
nahihirapan pa kasi ngaung makapasok sa regular household ung tablet, syempre kasi mas mahal kesa sa netbooks,
It’s hard to say, everyone says that the netbook will be killed off by the tablet, but I think the old school amongst us can get something new from a netbook (increased portability & battery life) and the fact that they are a lot cheaper than laptops! My biggest problem when trying to get a decent computer before was always finding reputable laptop suppliers!
