  1. Good to read this, Abe. They also have the amazing X11 which claims to be the “lightest notebook on earth.” Mahal lang though. Who distributes Gigabyte in the Philippines and where is it available?

  2. Monsters! :O

  3. Are you sure the graphics is GTX 660M for these laptops? Elsewhere it’s GT 640M. The GTX 660M is already a high end graphics not sure how it will fit within an ultrabook.

    On another note, it’s sad local ultrabooks are priced high as compared to what’s being offered in the US, going around 20-40% markup.

  4. Why not Lenovo Y580 is still my best BFTB

  5. Ya, I agree with bom, there is no way the u2442n has a GTX 660m. This article is false and should be fixed immediately!!

  6. saan pwedeng makabili nito? :)

    sa tingnin nyo po b meron doon sa SM yu mga tindahan sa cyberzone?
