Basic, entry level laptop

[unmarked]

For 'basic' things i'll experiment with a chromebook or a linux. Yung specs na yan imo mabilis na babagal with windows. A ton of smartphones have better processor so dapat hindi bloated ang OS. For a lot less, i think cherry mobile now offers a laptop (dual boot pa) baka mas mataas pa ang specs. Check lazada baka makita mo duon. Just be on the lookout sa after sales support policies just in case.

Kaya yan ng specs for sure. Ang concern ko is usually pag tumagal na at marami ng files, we all know how it is. Siguro go for asian brands nalang, parang may kamahalan si hp.

Mejo ot naisip ko yung auction sa opis namen. i5 processor laptops (dell/hp) gamit ng mga employees 3-4 years ago napaka mura kaso di naten alam battery condition e haha.

just a tip kung kukuha kayo ng chromebook.
sobrang sirain ng acer na chromebook, it didnt last me a year at all. one day one of the speakers just stopped working, tapos after awhile ayaw na mag-connect sa hdmi, then all of a sudden ayaw na mag on. wala na power kahit nakakabit ang charger. it got fried

di ko napa warranty because i lost the reciept and threw away the box (stupid me...)

that was a white acer chromebook i cant remember the model...

chromebook takes some getting used to but i still like windows better. and chromebook is fast! so fast!

First things first, regardless of the brand, it's the specs inside that matter.

Most basic laptops will come with a dual-core Celeron processor, 2 GB RAM, and 500GB of storage. This is sufficient (albeit barely) for basic use (browsing, MS Office).

However, if you want to multi-task and future-proof your laptop, the best upgrade you can get is an extra 2GB of RAM. 4GB RAM is the minimum nowadays for a lag-free experience.

Here's my suggestion: Lenovo G40-30


Lenovo G40-30 14-inch Intel Celeron Quad Core N2940/4GB/500GB/Windows 8.1 | VillMan Computers

Already has a quad-core processor and 4GB RAM, for the same price as a dual-core 2GB RAM laptop (13k). 14" screen makes for easier viewing than an 11" laptop, with a more ergonomic keyboard as well. Looks very boring, but all basic laptops look boring.

Note on RAM and OS: If you want to use 64-bit OS, you really, really, really need at least 4GB of RAM. But if you stick with 32-bit then 2GB is ok, if not faster than 64-bit on 2GB.

Get at least i3 processor, 2gb of memory enough na pang office / home use. Unless pang homework lang ng kids, the celeron will do. lenovo is ok. stay away with asus, manipis ang kaha. So far, sony vaio for me is the best next to apples, strong casing and decent specs for an 5 years old.

Sony sold the VAIO brand sometime in 2014/2015; afaik OK naman reviews. Not sure if the new VAIOs are of the same quality(or available locally for that matter)

Personal experience with 2GB, bitin talaga for Windows; my Dell was unusable out of the box with 2GB. 4GB should be the absolute minimum these days, 8GB preferable.

Definitely go with a 4 GB RAM minimum and if possible, 6-8 GB. I get pretty much a desktop PC experience with 8 GB RAM.
