Not exactly the latest model pero sayang sale.

Which one should I pick between these two? I'm a BSIT (Programming) freshman. My purposes are programming and coding, plus some gaming, like GTA 5 or similar games. It should also be durable and can last for a very long time.

Before, I used an AMD A4-6300 but swapped it out for an AMD A8-7600 as seen in the picture. I was running Lubuntu on my previous setup but I can't game kahit na sa mga retro games kasi mabigat yung Proton Compatibility sa Steam in my experience especially if walang native Linux ang game. But office and school tasks are fine naman.

Along with the CPU, here are my specs;

128GB SATA SSD

12GBs DDR3 RAM ( expecting to have 16GBs when dadating yung bagong RAM )

So, with my specs, should I keep using Linux or change OS balik Windows 10?

Hello guys, I’m seeking your expertise about smartphones. I’m currently using an Iphone 13 256gb that I bought brandnew way back 2022. It served me well when I was still in college. The Camera and OS is enough for me as I don’t do much on my phone besides communicating and social media.

Now that I work onsite (Civil Engineer), I’m having a hard time using it outdoors as it overheats quickly, preventing me to do work. Mind you I’ve done resets and stuff but the lagging and overheating issues are still there.

To the experts here, I want to ask if the Samsung S25 ultra is the right phone for me. Is it still worth it? Can it still last for 4 years or so?

Thanks, people!

Para sa akin that virtual ram didn't do that much. Kukuha pa rin naman yan sa internal storage which means slowing down the phone. Internal storage is much slower than the actual ram. Kadalasan turned off ko na lang ang virtual RAM. Maybe it is useful on a PC but useless on a phone. To me, the actual physical RAM are the only ram that matters.

para sa inyo ba ,? may silbi ba virtual ram?

TL:DR - Should I buy a phone now due to rising prices or could there be bigger discounts at 11.11 or 12.12. Samsung A17 or A37 or other Recommendations?

I'm planning to gift my grandparents smartphones since theirs is outdated (bali 2 phones) 15k sana budget ko para maganda na kako for basic use, guess my shock to see phone prices this september to october

First of, do you think phone prices will continue to increase by november/december?

Since basic use lang rin naman sila (Facebook, youtube, calls) ok na kaya performance ng Samsung A17(8/256) or better to go A37(8/128)?

I think I can get them at 35k and 40k for two phones respectively sa lazada flagship store right now.

Considering na within 1 month yung mall srp 28k price ng a57 naging 30k++ na, should I pull the trigger now since tataas pa rin? Or would there be a chance na mas malaki discounts sa 11.11 or 12.12

Do you have another phone reco na stable enough for 3 to 5 years within the same price range? I'd rather have a consistent performance for 2 years than a 10% better performance pero mag degrade rin after.

Thank you!

Hello guys! Will I be able to buy a 2nd hand laptop na good for CAD for around ₱20k+? I heard from my upperclassmen kasi na need daw talaga ng laptop for next semester and higher years, since next sem, magkakaron kami ng CAD and programming and laganap talaga yung pag gamit ng CAD sa higher years. Just asking lang po since hindi kayang agad agad makabili ng newer device since di lang ako yung pinapaaral nila papa. Thank you!

hello! ask ko lang if this is okay na for a budget gaming laptop? i-cash ko kasi and 65k lang if cash ko siya considering na ang mahal na ng laptop nowadays. upgradable rin ‘yung ram and storage. or if may reco kayo na around that price lang na better and specs, tyia!

I'm losing hope.

Nabasa yung laptop ko kanina while I was using it, mostly sa keyboard and some drops on the sides. Pinunasan ko naman agad. I thought okay pa siya kasi naka-on pa naman and working pa yung touchpad, but when I tried to open an app, ayaw mag-open. Suddenly, a message popped up saying, “Your device ran into a problem,” then nag-flash yung screen, so I turned it off.

Dinala ko siya sa technician, pero they told me to bring it back after one week kasi kailangan munang patuyuin bago nila buksan. Noong dinala ko siya doon, nag-on yung laptop, and may lumabas na message sa screen na something like “reboot.” Pero noong inuwi ko na, nag-off na siya completely, and wala nang blue light sa gilid.

Nakaka-frustrate lang kasi kailangang-kailangan ko ng laptop ngayon, pero tight ang budget to buy a new one.

May chance pa bang maayos, or huwag na akong umasa?

Any insights or advice would be appreciated.

choose your fighter!

which is the moooost sulit one here? im planning to buy one.

aaaand if there are other recos, feel free to comment( affordable+ high quality)

May Seagate BUP Slim ako dati na nahulog sa carpet tas tumigil nang gumana^{(beeps & beeping light}) kaya pinalitan yung HDD sa loob nang Ramsta SSD S800, eh pero ngayon parang nagloloko na din. It takes a few minutes to right click a file inside it and it's shown to be at 100% active time with 0Kbps of write and speed by task manager. 86% in good health daw yung SSD sabi ng CrystalDiskInfo at mukang ala naman nangyare sa mga files ko, mukang may problema lang pag may ginawang action sa loob ng SSD and connection problems, kaya assume ko lang yung enclosure at USB may problema.

So far, lahat nang drives ko hindi umabot past 3 years except yung TOSHIBA MK2546GSX_200 na inexctract sa Windows 7 na VAIO laptop from childood at ginawang pampalit sa corrupted Internal HDD ng bago kong laptop. Going 4 years strong since installment pero ngayon ko lang na check ang health nito at naka yellow siya sa 05 Reallocated Sectors in CrystalDiskInfo.

Lagi ko kasing ginagamit yung external SSD ko kasi konti lang storage nung TOSHIBA MK2546GSX_200 so yung mga games, creative softwares & resources ko halos nandun lahat.

Ngayon consider ko yung Toshiba Canvio tas gawing pang backup nalang yung SSD, pero may iba pa po ba kayong masusuggest?^{(356GB-1TB of storage desired})

Nung una 20K lang budget ko. Tapos nakita ko pricing ng Nothing 4a, below 25 lang pala. Tas sa mga marketplace may ganung presyo ng Xiaomi at Samsung.

Alanganin ako sa secondhand malay ba natin naipit yong phone or nahulog na. Medyo naguguluhan ako. Ano kaya pipiliin ko?

I preordered mine from the ‘Flagship store’, dito ko rin inorder yung 17pro ko in the past and no issue encountered naman so trust na lang..

But I wonder bakit kaya cheaper dito? Mahal din kasi sa pmc + for the freebies na kasama, parang mas makakamura pa rin sa laz/shopee.. may konting worry lang na baka bato ang dumating. hahaha 🥲

Edit: Used my UB CC 24 months 0 interest din for this! Sulit na talaga

Guys baka may ma recommend kayo na budget meal laptop. For everyday use lang, like basic browsing youtube or watch movies tapos document. Thank you
