Best Cheap Laptop
Hello guys. I'm planning to buy a laptop with a budget of 30k if possible. Pinaka max kay 45k
Priority: looks (sleek, classy and minimalist style), 4GB ram, 13-14" LCD
Here are the top 5 list on what I want to do on my laptop:
1. Make projects (using Visual Studio, databases, VMware)
2. Watch movies, anime, series, videos
3. Internet: chatting, social-networking, surf, emails
4. Read manga, ebooks
5. Play games (Guitar Hero, Left for Dead, Pop cap, web-based) if ever I get bored doing those 4 tasks listed above. This doesn't seem so important anymore.
The lighter the laptop, the better.
I'm not sure about if with the tasks im doing above, kailangan ba ug highend video card or what.
If Core2Duo is really needed or okay na ba ang mga Atom processor and single core.
Added battery life is a bonus
I dont like laptops that get hot easily.
I also prefer brands with stylish looks, HP or a nice logo like Gateway (wahahhaha buing jud sa). OK ra pud ang Asus though kay nice ug specs...
Help! I need suggestions on what laptop offers the best features at the price of 30-40k
Thanks daan!
Which Laptop?
I'm itching to buy one! With so many aspects to consider, I'm having a hard time choosing the
right laptop for the right price. The thing is... I want almost everything (don't we all).
Performance, Looks, Weight, and Graphics
It's hard to find a laptop with all four at an affordable price. The brand of the laptop is also significant.
I'm only willing to spend 25-40 45 grand (pesos) on this. Money is the biggest limitation of all.
Sleek Looks
- haha! Makes it attractive. I would want to look like a geek bringing an ugly bulky laptop
High Performance (for my programming... I need to run several developing applications at once)
- Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD with at least 2mb cache
- 4gb ram (a must)
Harddisk (to store all my anime, games, movies and pictures)
- 320 to 500gb. (320 will suffice)
Weight
- the lighter the better (I need to carry it around with me)
- at max 3kg 2.5kg. Ideal weight is 2kg
Graphics - (as we all know, I spend most of my time in my PC playing games and watching
movies. So I need a higher video card either NVIDIA or ATI. Not just Intel)
- 512 vid card
I'm slashing this down. This doesn't seem so important anymore. Because based on my current tasks on the PC, gaming is on the bottom list. That's cause I dont have much time and dont play / download the latest games anymore.
Price
- 25-40k php
My prospects:
1. HP dv4t or dv3t - looks sooo gorgeous ranges from 37(intel graphics)- 45k(nvidia g105 512mb graphics)
2. Gateway ID5804u - man! this is one awesome PC! its got everything. Except that it's way too costly :(
3. GAteway NV5815u - specs is good enough. ATI Radeon shared vid card. average looks. the downside is that it has only 1mb cache and weighs 3kg
4. Dell Studio 15 - This one costs about 45k (if ordered in the US and converted to pesos). The specs is pretty good since
I customized it myself. Looks is above average but GatewayID5804u looks a little bit nicer.
