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

e) Desktop & Netbook

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!
nahihirapan pa kasi ngaung makapasok sa regular household ung tablet, syempre kasi mas mahal kesa sa netbooks,
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
TabTop for me. Ang dami namang anti-tablet people dito. Pakialam ninyo.
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.
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.
…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…
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.
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.
it’s all about easy access and practicality. i’d have to go with laptop and tablet.
Laptop (Acer Aspire 1830T Timeline X) and Tablet (Apple iPad 1) for me.
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.
