The specs are awesome and cheap, good reviews in lazada... found no serious article about save those paid v/bloggers.

Hehe I'd stay away muna sa mga hindi kilala na laptop lalo na galing sa China.

Nice. Does it have external graphics?

Does anybody here use the ASUS Zenbook Duo? We are thinking of getting one.

Asus-es? Are known to have bad hardwares.

I don't know about this one though. Quality could have improven na over the years. [emoji38]

Just the built in Radeon Vega 10. Won't be used for gaming but I'm sure it can run older titles at 720p. AMD's IGP is still a fair bit faster than Intel's.

When I tried it, the touch screen on the keyboard felt awkward. A traditional 2-in-1 (i.e. keyboard but with touchscreen LCD) is much more intuitive to use for me.

Consider the HP Envy X360 or Asus Zenbook Flip instead of the Zenbook Duo. Or a Macbook Pro for the same price if you don't need a touchscreen.

Maganda ba Acer laptops? i've been avoiding them since i saw my cousin's laptop go through several repairs within the warranty period...though this was way way back.

Am eagerly awaiting the next batch of Project Athena-based laptops, it is a great technological leap vs. the current laptops. On the other hand they could get quite pricey, and there have been massive price drops on current models.

I am using for office an eMachine laptop, a lower tier Acer product at that. 10 years na battery, hard disk at keyboard (some buttons/tiles popped out already) ang napalitan na pero working pa naman. Windows 7 pa nga eh. hehe. Phased-out na nga eh. But Acer is still goin strong afaik. My brother uses one as well for 4 years na ata.

Damn the hardware innovation is really going bonkers now.

But for me portability and ability to play games still my key priorities. Playing Path of Exile now....crazy crazy game.
