mga sis, which one is better? the sony vaio cs26g or lenovo ideapad y450?

[p3t3r]

^^^crazycool

normally what we do is remove the keys and spray the contacts with contact cleaner.

^^female01

try uninstalling and reinstalling your wifi adapter driver. if it does not work, try using a usb adapter if it works, then may problema wifi adapter na built in sa laptop mo

^lytblu

go for lenovo

Replacing my 2 year old Vaio VGN CR220e.  Actually, *forced* to replace it since there's something wrong with the screen (2 inch wide vertical white bar from top to bottom, slightly off the center) and it looks to me like the entire LCD needs to be replaced.. and according to Sony it would cost 500USD, so good bye Vaio.

Looking at HPs, will probably get one tomorrow.  I have my eyes dead set on a DV6t model or something similar

Bought Toshiba Satellite L510 last Sunday. Mataas ang specs, just for 33k. Ok naman ang performance, I just don't like the sound quality of the built-in speakers though. Mas buo ang sound ng old Dell Vostro ko.

[xthine]

So I'm putting away this Vaio soon as I finish setting up the new laptop I got:

Hopefully this one will make it to more than 2 years without any major issues.

ok ba mga neo laptops?

[clueless_girl]

sis lytblu i wont recommend neo. may ganyan yun friend ko dati nasira agad hindi naman niya ganun kadalas gamitin. tapos un battery life niya hindi man lang tumatagal ng 1 hour kelangan lagi nakasaksak.   

[lytblu]

^thanks sis! pareho kayo ng sinabi ng brother ko. eh between lenovo and hp, alin irerecommend nyo?

[clueless_girl]

i would recommend hp. wala akog personal experience since acer yun gamit ko but marami akong kailala na hp un gamit nila ok naman daw. sa lenovo naman may kakilala ako sa ibm which is un manufacturer yata ng lenovo hindi na raw ganun kaganda yun mga bagong labas ng lenovo kaya hp din gamit niya. 

[ayanlanz]

count me in!

actually, i'm using Neo laptop for more than a year. yun pa lang kasi kaya ng savings ko that time. so far, I've no more problem on this. but napalitan na yung disk drive niya during warranty period. less than an hr yung battery life niya kasi Vista ang gamit ko.

my lappy is for work purposes only so mostly files,folders and application inside and I've upgraded the ram to 3gb already. no games but music ang madami. i've used this for 15hrs+ everyday because of my work.

so far, i've no plans to buy another one. I'll just take care of this para matagal pa kami magkasama! 

[ampere]

i wont buy Compaq CQ40 if i were you..may issues sa LCD ang compaq models andaming nagrereklamo isa na ako dun buti na lang nabenta ko na yung akin..dapat HP pulled out the CQ40 models hindi biro ang dami ng customers nila na nagkaproblema but sad to say parang walang pakialam ang HP 

here's the message board kung saan nagrereklamo ang mga may Compaq laptops http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Display&thread.id=1820&view=by_date_ascending&page=7

An old Toshiba conked out... eh naiinis talaga ako sa quality of service (lousy) of Toshiba ... so decided to get an HP Pavilion entertainment PC. 

Got tempted by the 16inch screen.
It will be basically for home use for my office work.
It is kinda big... so I am not likely to bring it around nor travelilng with me.

Why HP??  A lot of my friends say it is the most durable.  And the HP laptop with a tablet I bought last year, which I bring around for business meetings... so far so good. 
(It is good for my business coz I just write on the tablet or draw or whatever diagram... and then have the other party sign... there, may instant proof ako what we agreed upon.  )  Mabigat nga lang!   

[chinkywinky]

^with my friends experience naman sa HP, not good. Even my friend who's working from HP does not recommend HP 

[Kady_14]

I had my [textspeak!] buy me a Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309 in the US.

Just what I need. Lightweight and Batt Life is OK, di umiinit like our HP.

[ms_teryosa]

just want to ask if namomodify ba yung dell na old model>?? my tita told me that she'll give her old laptop to me na lang daw pero it was old model of dell..10 years ago pa daw.. medyo mabagal daw and she's asking kung pwede daw imodify para bumilis..what do u think??

thanks..

[Kady_14]

^^^ Just a suggestion, mgcanvass ka how much it would cost kung ipapa modify mo, baka kasi in the end eh konti na lang pwede mo nang dagdagan to get a new laptop.

Ako naman i have a Question. Me ngbebenta ng Asus PC sa work P7k Brand new daw, as in Bulk orders. I dunno if possible ba yun.

[carmilina]

[textspeak!] maganda brand ng laptop ngyn, im planning to have one...

[ayanlanz]

my brother encouraged me to buy another laptop para daw mahiram niya yung sa akin ngayon 

I told him, "nope, I'm gonna buy hp touchsmart desktop next year!" lol

^with my friends experience naman sa HP, not good. Even my friend who's working from HP does not recommend HP 

my husband used to work for HP service centers in the middle east. He does not recommend HP laptops din.
personally pagdating sa tibay, toshiba, dell and sony daw mai-recommend niya

pero nasa user din naman siguro.
