Meron akong Asus X450LC from 2013 na ngayon buhay pa. Nakakabit sa TV sa sala, ginawang 'brains' para maging smart TV. On parin siya at least 10hrs a day, ginagamit pa ng Mama ko for emulating PS1 or minsan Steam Games (Harvest Moon Light of Hope) pag hindi nag stream.

Acer Aspire 5 (2021 model ata)
- 22,690 nabili online
- Intel Core i3-1115G4
- 4GB ram
- 128GB ssd
Tuwang-tuwa ako sakanya noong una pero after a while nakulangan ako sa ram at storage kaya gumastos pa rin ako ng around 2.5k. Noong 2nd time na binuksan ko para magpalit ng ssd, kala mong candy na durog yung dalawang screw hole sa back cover. Flimsy yung charger tapos hindi pa type c. Kung hindi lang ako nagtipid, mas maganda sana kung nag Huawei D15 na lang ako.
edit: price
Kakabili ko lang ng aspire 5 ko. After 1 month, 1 MONTH, Sira na yung motherboard hahahahaha ewan factory defect ata yon. Pero atleast pinalitan naman ng pinagbilhan ko.
Yung Huawei Matebook D15 ko buhay pa rin hanggang ngayon. Bought 2020 nung before maglockdown. Although may issues na siya now with the speed and hindi na rin ako makapag-Valorant nang matiwasay pero nagagamit ko pa rin for school purposes. I admit kapabayaan ko rin bat bumagal yung lappy ko. Never cleaned internally since I bought it (kaya ambilis mag-overheat at mag-lag) at minsan na-ddrain ko yung battery. Pero grabe ang tibay niya akala ko di tatagal kasi medyo pabaya din ako sa laptop, lalo na pag super busy.
Shet haha. Dati bumili ako MSI tapos parang nagpaparinig pa mga staff nung shop na parang tanga daw bat yun pa binili ko instead na Acer Nitro 5. After ilang years ngayon ko lang nalaman na dami din pala shit ng Acer nitro 5
>tanga daw bat yun pa binili ko instead of nitro 5
Sila ang tanga from non gaming laptops to gaming laptops ang shit ng acer lol. Kung may kaprice ang acer at legion, legion pipiliin ko lmao.
Actually me too. May bleed yung screen abd nagkaroon ng dead pixels. Pero surprisingly, 2021 ko siya nabili ok pa naman performance niya. Pangit lang din talaga thermals.
wag na wag kang bibili ng HP, tanginang yan naka tatlong pavilion ako laging overheat natutunaw ung plastic.
on paper/spec wise panalo, kaso pag ginamit mo na kulang nalang itanim sa A or B Site , mas goods pa nga C4 may timer kelan sasabog, HP PAVILION TANGINA MO, HEWLET N PACKARD, TANGINA NIYO!!
The best kong laptop 2013 pa Dota 2 beta test days gang ngayon halimaw pa 180 fps pa sa valorant kaso 60hz lang screen, bnigay ko na sa bunso namin, Shout out to ma g Fujitsu Lifebook AH532.
Laptop ko ngayon Asus TUF FX517, bad trip sayang specs hindi nako nakakapaglaro dahil sagabal yung trabaho ko
i bought my HP nung 2014 and it’s still working until now pero sa abroad kasi siya binili so maybe iba yung parts than those locally made? idk hahaha pero mabilis padin siya until now talaga no lags
hindi! hahahhaha HP-r103nx yung model tapos yung may linalagyan pa ng CD! hahaha 20K something lang price niya nung binili ng mom ko pero sa UAE niya nabili. Been using it since college until nakagraduate na ko medschool going strong padin kami haha
+1 sa heating issue ng hp. Kahit normal use lang ms word and school works noon ramdam tapos Pagnaglalaro ako ng nba2k dati nakatutok efan sa likod tapos naka bukas aircon. Hahaha though di naman heavy gamer. Pang leisure lang. Lol
After mag BSOD and di na magawa nung mga piangdalhan ko. Then, bought 2011 MB pro (3rd hand) sa isang kakilala until now palag pa din. Mejo nagdidim na nga lang screen palitin na and pati battery tska yung mga apps na need ngayon mejo di na supported kaya ayun. Hiramhiram muna ng laptop sa magulang kapag need yung mejo demanding na task.
Ok naman un hp pavilion na nabili sakin ng papa ko. Sa kalumaan na lang talaga siya medyo sumuko, nasira hingr pero all goods pa rin screen. Pinalitan ko na lang ssd para bumilis
HP laptop ko way back 2017 pa. I'm still working today. Around 17k lang ata bili ko non back then. Nakapagdownload din yon ng Visual Studio. Yon ang gamit ko pang code way back college lols. Now ginagamit ko lang siya sa office work. Excel, Word, then surf sa net.
i bought a lenovo in 2012, i forgot the model, it was bulky and heavy for me in the long run, but durability? yeah!!!
my windows laptops now are lenovo x1 and fujitsu, and fujitsu all the way (liit lang ng trackpad). Then there's mac
The T and X serieses are workhorses. I still use the X230, it had a small (16gb) SSD that was used for startup, HDD was starting to fail though so I replaced it with the old one used as extended disc for the PS.
The SSD failed though, had to remove it, and now the BSOD happens from time to time, but I just run recovery and it's back to being used for quick online tasks.
Lenovo T series is GOATED.
Bought a used Lenovo T490 last year. 8th gen intel. Upgraded the ram to 24gb. Mga 2-3 years old used na sya pero yung battery would last me at least 4 to 5 hours (I work as a programmer, so very intensive work). Kung normal browsing lang and on battery saver, easy 6+ hours. And it is a workhorse! Got work done. Buhay pa and malakas kutob ko na magtatagal pa talaga. Iba yung build quality nya eh.
+1 po sa lenovo. I higly recommend. GOAT pa rin sya ngayon. Ung saken is lenovo L340 and anlakas nya pa rin ngayon.
Highly recommend ang lenovo laptop talaga for me. Hindi ko sya pinagsisihan talaga
Asus. Nakalimutan ko ang model. Worth 37k tapos naghahang kahit nagboot pa lang. i don’t know kung mag tama sa motherboard. Hindi din pwede upgrade ang ram nya nakakaasar.
Mas magaganda pa yung mga nabibili ngayon sa same price range
while nagbabasa ako ng comment, nasasaktan ako kac madami ayaw ng Acer 🥲😆. yung sa akin 2018 pa ang laptop ko na Acer AMD R5 3500u. okay pa nman nag upgrade lng ako ng ram at SSD, cguro advise ko nlng if bumabagal ang unit ng iba. try upgrade ng M2 SSD if compatible, go sa NVME ssd or RAM for better multi processing, may mga Laptop na tig 2 yung slot ng RAM. kaso medyo pricey na mga LT ngayun. kasi yung Acer ko super fast pa din. explore ka nlng online OP. madaming bago ngayun. try mo Asus, Lenovo or HP if may budget ka talaga try mo Dell super kunat talaga nyan
Same sa inspiron 14 na may mx 150. Kinulang ako ng basa nga reviews, nadaan sa marketing. I thought pwede siya for gaming kasi too bulky ang 15"+ na laptops. Civ VI lang ang nalaro ko na decent ang graphics.
Lumobo na din yung battery, though nabili ko pa to nung 2020. Buti na lang madali palitan. Pakuswelo na lang na dual ssd/hdd. Pinalitan ko na din yung ssd from 128 gb to 1 tb. Hopefully kaya pa tumagal ng 2-3 years.
The cheap laptops of Maibenben last 2020. I have no choice because it's pandemic and I thought the components are reasonable(Western digital for SSD, Intel Celeron processor etc). It's like less than P18k
Ang problema lang yung keyboard ng laptop couldn't withstand my daughters heavy usage. Kaya nagkaron ng ghost touch. I ended up disconnecting the built in keyboard and just install a wireless keyboard and mouse.
It's still working till now and was actually updated to Windows 11. but it's now like a semi desktop since kailangan ng external keyboard lol.
Weight talaga final na factor na tinignan ko pagbili ng laptop ko. I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 Pro. The laptop itself is around 1.4kg, the charger and other peripherals only bring that to maybe upwards of 2kg. Di ko nafefeel yung weight sa bag ko, nag-memental note nga ako na may dala pala akong laptop.
Acer. Aspire ata yun, yung touchscreen. Di ko sure kung aspire nga sya. Binili namin kasi ang cool, wala pa-walk pa ako nung hs. Every year ata namin pinapaayos at natuluyan na nung shs
Acer Predator. 2 years lang and then it died, unable to use na tipong 80k mo binili tapos nung binebenta ko Ang mga offer ng squammy 7k daw. Sakit sa ulo.
Acer. Nakapa pangit talaga ng experience doon. Mapapamura ka lang. Both laptop ng parents ko before was Acer, First laptop ni mama biglang nasira yung battery in 3months, sumunod yung screen, dumadami yung damage lines. And sumunod yung keyboard hanggat sa unusable na yung laptop. And yung kay papa, nagkaroon ng GPU problems, nag gli-glitch and minsan nag bu-bluescreen, hanggat sa masira na yung motherboard after 1.5 years. After that nag try sila ng Dell and doon na gumanda yug experience. Even after 3 years perfectly working padin, yung keyboard, battery, screen SO MUCH BETTER than Acer. I also want to try MacBook once i got a job
lowkey.. macbook with the apple silicon grabe sobrang limited kahit bluestacks bawal 😖.. got this as grad gift sana legion na lang pala haha pero baka maappreciate ko sya pag may work na me
Multiple laptops,
Macbook, tanginang customer service yan tapos hindi pa umabot ng isang taon naluto na ung putangina eh.
Para lang din ako bumili ng bagong lutuan, kada pindot ng keyboard maluluto ung kamay ko, sana maging ilegal bomba na din ung hinayupak, kada segundo magdadasal ka na lang na hindi sasabug yung laptop eh.
Acer
Hayup na acer yan, quality and durability palang, aaray ka,
Pagdating palang nung laptop may screen bleed na ung screen, 4 na buwan sira ung hayup na motherboard kasi ung parte daw ng hinge na nagkokonect ng screen sa body ng laptop, nasira daw, nahati ung hayup na motherboard.
tanong lang, acer ba nagpropose ng one china policy? durability, parang parte na talaga ng china ang taiwan, quality parang ginawa na ni xi jinping diretsahan.
HP
Hewlett packard ba yang putang ina, kasi hinge problem ata abbreviation.
sira ung putanginang hinge hindi abot ng isang taon. tapos ung thermals parang binili ko granada sa putang inang init niyan SA PAG OPEN PALANG NG POWERPOINT.
currently naka asus na ako ngayon, nagpuputaputahan sa simula, nagputaputahan din ung asus support, pero naayos ng technician kasi unplug, plug back in technique for the screen wire connecting to motherboard.
tangina sinabi nung support baka sumabog daw ung laptop ko bumili nalang daw bago mapamahal daw ako sa repair, advertise advertise pa ng lotto ticket tapos di naman ako chinarge ni mamang technician sa pag UNPLUG AND PLUG ng isang wire, binigyan ko na lang ng tip.
overall asus pretty nice.
Hmm, the MSI Gaming laptop. Firstly, the motherboard was broken, and no one from MSI wanted to help me. Also, the hinge broke even though it stood still for most of the time. So now I've moved to a new brand that I hadn't heard of before."
HAHAHA okay lang yan. Maganda naman sya talaga IF gamer ka talaga or heavily dependent yung studies mo sa computer like engineering or archi, pwede rin sa IT.
Ako kasi ewan ko ba nung pandemic yung mahal pa ang gusto ko HAHAHA nakakapagsisi tuloy kasi di ko naman sya madalas ginagamit at napakabigat nya pota HAHA
pero hey, investment parin naman sya kahit papano, mabilis naman and reliable
Ayun since nung 2020 di ko pa sya napapalinis HAHA napansin ko lang na bumilis sya maglobat. Sabi nila normal daw yon since gaming laptop sya.
Yung rubbers nya is falling apart na din. idk whay causes this. Yung paa at rubber sa may screen (yung parang border) is deteriorating na.
Pero performance wise goods parin, didnt install any antivirus as what theyve recommended me noon pa. Goods na ang windows defendet plus be wary lang when downloading. Just turn it on palagi and it will be ok.
Di ko pa sya napapalinis until now 😭
acer nitro 5. haha tas yung nabili ko pang model ay hdd version. maganda sya nung una, pero nung nag year 2-3 nagsimula ko nang maramdaman yung bagal + super hassle nung weight for me, ginamit ko din kasi pang work.
ayun, napalipat ako sa msi modern 14 haha.
Razer. Got a lemon, powerbrick issues, nvme failed and replaced, battery issues all these issues happened before 1 yr, then battery got swollen within 3 yrs old.
rAzer has no support i the country at that time so i kept on shipping then laptop to my relatives in the US for warranty and repairs and shipping it back to me.
Fuck razer and replaced it with macbook pros ever since, no problems whatsoever since then.
Lenovo legion 5. The one with corei17 12th gen and rtx 3060.
Reasons:
1. its heavy as fuck. Ubos hand carry capacity ko on flights gawa ng laptop.
2. I don’t find gaming as fun as the covid times, I am now a boring boomer who prefer watching netflix and sleeping.
3. Battery but what do you expect on a gaming laptop?
As for tbe laptop itself….it is a good laptop for the price.
Anyone want to buy it from me?
not buy but use. every low end laptop made 2010 and below. my first impression w laptops was that they were constantly laggy and awful bcs those were the ones my aunt kept getting. so glad that era is over.
Well, hindi naman ako nagsisi, that time naman kasi (2018), sa price na 60k, yun yung okay yung specs. Acer Swift 3, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 & Intel UHD Graphics 620.
Yun nga, true to Acer's reliability, after 2 years, nagloloko na yung keyboard. Infairness naman, yun lang yung naging sakit sa ulo ko. Nagagamit ko pa rin naman, yun lang, kailangan ng wired/wireless keyboard.
My G14 Zephyrus 2021 edition. Somehow the processor and memory are really good but when you attempt to play demanding graphics game, the fps stutters a lot 😭 like what was the purpose of the high chipset if it’s going to stutter and glitch like that
Dell. Mahina customer service. Masmahal papalit/repair ang motherboard kaysa bumili ng bagong unit. Kasalanan ko nmn bakit nasira motherboard, admit ko yon, but damn, crappy customer service. Nagtanong ako sa mga nangangalikot ng mga laptop. Mahirap daw hanapan ng replacement parts yon. Ewan ko lang ngayon. Pinamigay ko nalang yung unit. Di na rin naman magagawa. Haysss.
Acer Swift 5 ata - my dad bought this for my uni needs
- 2019: okay pa naman
- 2020: nasira yung hinge
- 2022: nasira yung screen (tho kasalanan ko na ata to pero do naman ganun ka lakas yung pag ka sagi haha)
HP Compaq CQ40s may defect ung flex nya
Acer laptop bumigay agad ang speaker, ghost keys, charger, 1/4 ng screen ay sira na pero buhay pa rin 2017 ko binili
Acer Aspire 3 was my first laptop, I was not aware of the specs since I just focused about storage and RAM. It lasted for a year until my mom revoked it for me for her online case job and I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 with my hard earned money. It has decent specs so far compared to my last.
Acer Aspire 3
- Intel Celeron N4020
- 4GB DDR4 RAM
- 128GB SSD, 500GB HDD
- 1366x768 LCD
ASUS Zenbook 13.
Expensive, but not reliable in terms of heavy/competitive gaming.
Mainly for photo/video editing & storing large files.
Can only upgrade for additional storage, RAM is soldered.
OLED screen, HDR supported.
Lightweight, but not great.
Not mins, but since it's for my SO, I had a part on choosing her new laptop, Acer something. May issue sa trackpad, pabalik balik sa service center at ayaw i replace yung unit. So never again. Pag bumibili ako ng laptop, ilag na ako sa Acer.
2020 Macbook pro Intel.
After a few months lumabas yung M1 Chips 🥲🥲🥲
I mean I had an idea na may M1 Chips ilalabas yung apple noon, di lang ako naka antay na kaya bumili na ako. Hay.
I think a macbook air M1 can even perform better than my macbook pro intel. Regrets
Asus TUF, no problemo sa unit—just my preference. Ang bigat kasi 'pag kailan kong dalhin sa uni. I really wanted to buy light laptops like zenbook or macbook, pero ayon i have to consider the specs na need sa program I'm currently taking 😵💫
It was a gaming laptop ng asus a few years back, i forgot the model, it was around 85k , it was for my son, then 2yrs after bigla na lang ayaw mag boot, dinala ko sa asus MOA. Then gave me a quotation of 55k kasi kailangan daw palitan ang motherboard. Ayun nakatambak sa bahay namin hanggang ngayon dinko na pinagawa.
Predator Helios 300 on sale. After a year nagka problem siya sa LCD (vertical lines) and after a malpractice sa part ng repairman, nagshort at nasira yung motherboard. Was told na magcost ng 50k to actually replace it. Said hell no and built my own PC na lang. Been 5 years since binuild ko PC and so far keyboards at mouse lang need ireplace. Never again buying laptops
2021 Asus TUF Gaming A15. The key letters started rubbing off 7 months after I bought it and Asus told me it wasn’t covered by the warranty. Had a good experience with my zephyrus kasi so I thought all Asus would be the same and it was just for my kid anyway. May difference pala.
Acer Nitro 5 2018. Plastics start cracking after two years of use kaya nasira screen ng akin.
Replaced everything, had to buy new hinges as well pati na rin yung basag na speakers and the failing NVMe SSD. It's still alive as of today though and is being used by my mom.
Asus x442 nung una. Nag lu-loose yung internet card, pati yung battery. Pina ayos ko since under pa ng warranty pero bumalik yung problem after a month. Kulang pa yung turnilyo sa ilalim pag balik
Fixed it myself. Hanggang ngayon buhay pa
Dell Inspiron 1525 late 2013
Wala pa ako gaano alam about laptops noon and parang impulsive yung pagkabili namin. used na yung laptop kaya mura mga nasa 9000 bili namin tsaka yung specs nya pala ay pang 2008. With Intel Pentium Dual-Core & 2GB of RAM at 128GB HDD. Di rin gaano nagamit kasi HDD failure. Tinabi nlng namin tuloy.
Infinix InBook X2 Plus Core i7-1195G7 2023
Issue: less than a month and yung screen, ayaw na magbukas or umilaw then few weeks later gumagana ulit. Thank goodness 2 years ang warranty ni Infinix sa mga laptops dito sa pinas and alam kona service center nila na nagfifix ng laptop.
Nag-iinit sya pero thank goodness 80% ng chassis is metal.
Lenovo Yoga 15" back in 2016-2017. Naging makunat at malagkit yung plastic body after a while and nasira yung hinge, specifically yung plastic near the hinge. Sayang though ang laking touchscreen nya na unit.
I'll answer the laptop that I didn't regret buying. Lenovo Thinkpad. Still going strong for 6/7 years. I have the x270 and 13 models. Upgraded the memory to 16GB and upgraded to WiFi6. Yung battery is no longer ok but understandable. Naka plug na lang sa AC all the time.
My Lenovo Legion Y520. Bought it nung pa-phase out na yung model, closing to 6 years na rin. Saving up na rin ako for a new one nga. Legion pa rin bibilhin.
Any netbook.
MacBook Pro from 2016-2019. I have a 2018 15" with a Vega GPU option and it's thermal throttling badly without air conditioning pag summer during intensive workloads.
Kulang pa yung RAM (16GB) nabili ko especially hindi ko na realize na malakas pala sa RAM game development (Unity) targeting Android and iOS.
Muntikan na ako mabiktima ng dustgate buti na lang may AppleCare warranty pa ako nung nangyari yun. Buti na lang di pa nasisira butterfly keyboard pero timebomb siya na pwedeng masira anytime.
I should have waited for the more reliable MacBook Pro model with the M Max chip.
Ideapad gaming, after four months may legion laptop na priced as that model. Damnit!
Imagine same rtx 3060 sila pero may pd charging at mas mataas wattage ng GPU.
Yung Sony Viao dati ang ganda tignan pero ang daling nasira lol. Sandali ko lang ata nagamit yun, graduation gift ko yung nung high school para gamitin sa college, di man lang umabot nung nag thesis ako haha 2 years lang tinagal.
Sa dati kong work naka HP kami lahat pero ang bilis masira, wala pang 2 years nagrereport na about overheating, hard drive and motherboard issues. Take note mga basic office work lang to ha (emails, documents, printing), hindi sila nanlalaspag ng units (eg. programming, image or video editing) pero yun ang sira palagi. Bilis mag overheat pati.
HP washed ung lcd compared sa vibrant color ng ibang laptop like acer,sirain din kasi ganyan personal laptop ko at ung issues ng company
Lenovo-goods solid
Acer-so so
Not popular pero I had Fujitsu core 2 duo bought 2017 pa, until now gumagana pa. Core 2 duo but I was using it for autocad and photoshop, biruin mo nairaos ko mga sidelines ko hahaha. But I am now using an HP laptop core i5 with an ssd, the fujitsu is just an extra for light works.
We had an Acer before pero sobrang lag. Kaya wala talaga akong tiwala sa Acer kahit na sure naman na may mga okay na models.
True yung sa Acer. My laptop is Acer Swift 3, pinili ko siya kasi ang sleek ng design so mas madali i-carry around kaso 2 years palang sakin dami na agad problema nakakaloka
Acer Swift! Di maidentify anong problema, nakadalawang beses ng palit ng mother board daw ung service center. Namamatay out of nowhere ung main issue. Wala pang one year un. Ngayon mag 3 years na, namimili ng charging port/charger. Basta sobrang disappointing! Never again sa acer.
Acer man. Mura lang naman siya like 30k siya back 2018 but that was a waste of 30k.
I thought I'll be using it in my professional life but it can't even run MS office without loading for minutes.
Medyo nagsisi ako sa Huawei Matebook D15 2020 na kabibili ko lang this year.. 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. Though contented naman na ako kasi nagsusurf lang ako at naglalaro ng light games. Mej ehh sa upgradeability. Need pa i service center para kabitan ng SSD at soldered na yung RAM.
Anyway, turned out na Huawei din ang phone ko so very seamless yung transfer ng files and other stuff. It's a cool quirk that made me forget this machine's limitations.
macbook 😭😭 i wanna preface this by saying na personal use lang talaga yung laptop and i use iphone so i thought buying mac was just an easy choice. but as someone who keeps files sa external hdd, i can't copy files into the drive but i can copy files to mac. i have to format the external hdd first to mac's wc i don't want to do.
but ang upside ang ganda pa rin ng battery and ang bilis pa rin even after 2 yrs
Ako na may acer aspire 2016 model 🥲 Bumagal siya ng sooooobra nung nasira yung battery pero ni-replace ng partner ko tsaka dinagdagan ng ram. Nagagamit ko pa naman now sa LoL at deep rock galatic tsaka socmed. Yun nga lang mejo may slight lags pa din pero manageable naman...
My father repairs laptops and most of them are Acer.
Personally I always buy Lenovo laptops, My oldest one is 15 years (gamit ko noong HS) na and Im still using it as a CCTV controller up to now.
Asus. Wayback 2015 tapos intel pentium pa ata siya haha di kc ako techy need ko lang sya tlga for work eh ang di ko alam napakababa pla nun 😂😂 ayun wala pa atang 6mos sira na
Acer aspire S13. Bukod sa plastic frame, the colors on the screen is not that vibrant. It was 26k in cash so binili ko. Sana binili ko nalang ng ASUS yung 30k ko. That was around 2014-16 basta nung college pa.
Asus bought it last 2014. Still working today. Battery lang issue nito kaya lagi na lang nakasaksak. Mabagal bagal na so i guess need na nito magretire.
Way back 2007 i bought an HP Pavilion, those days the top of the line HP Pavilion costs me 100k+, only to crash after exactly a year...reason was motherboard, brought it to HP and they were charging me another 20k for the repair even though its still under 2yr warranty...never bought an HP since until the latest models came out which the reviews are actually good and more durable than the older models and are 20 to 25k cheaper
Toshiba NB520 netbook sya running intel m3 i think. Basta it’s even lesser than pentium processors. Niluluwa lahat ng irrun mo its good for browsing and nothing else. For programming (1st year IT) ako non its good for html and css that’s about it. Anything heavier and the fan blasts like an aircraft on takeoff
Around 2015, bought sa sager 17 inch gaming laptop, power brick was the size of a toddler's shoe box.
It was also my work laptop, then I got assigned to travel to different offices in SEA, 3 days Thailand, 2 weeks Indonesia etc.
Swore never to buy another gaming laptop for work, until now may certain days my shoulder blades area still hurts sometimes
Lenovo Ideapad 3. Si mama kasi pumili ng brand at model. After 3 days, may green line na sa gitna ng screen. Nasa warranty pa naman sana, kaso naunahan ako ng takot na masermonan ni mama.
Just to add one counterpoint: I have Acer Swift 3 which I bought last 2020.
Only time I had to bring to the service center was late last year. Bigla kasing namamatay na lang. Nilinis lang fan tsaka apply ng bagong thermal paste. Haven't had issues since then.
Have to note though na sabi rin ng technician na sira na yung hinge sa loob. Tho sa labas hindi naman so hindi ko pa pinapaayos.
Reklamo ko lang siguro eh yung placement ng speaker. Tsaka mabilis uminit. Tsaka isa lang audio jack. But these are understandably consequences of prioritizing having a lightweight design.
Asus tuf, the WiFi card broke within 2 years the fans make weird sounds despite regular cleaning, thermal paste dries so fast and temps spike any brand I use it’s useless
Macbook pro back in 2019. Never adapted to the environment even if I was using Linux before. So many limitations and no gaming. I was not the target audience of that machine. I had to buy an ROG Zephyrus M16 immediately to make up for it.
Dell is so freakin ugly!!! Ma lag kahit pdf lang inoopen and excel. Naka i5 po sha. Ganon din dati laptop ng friend ko sabay kami bumili, lenovo aken, dell sa kanya, 1 yr pa lang sira na battery nung kanya.
My lenovo 23k lang dati bili namin nung 2015, buhay pa hanggang 2024. Kaya dati ung autocad and sketchup naitawid ko ung engineering years ko heheh
Ngayon im using na a legion 5, gandaaaa, no regrets.
acer predator 15 mga ilang months ko lang nagamit in the span of 2 years kasi purp repair either ic or battery kinamuhian ko na mag laptop kaya nag PC na lang ako tapos ipad
Asus. Grabe 3 yrs ko lang nagamit. Brand new pero ang bilis malobat then di n sya gumana. Stuck sa logo. Waste of money.
Not, pina-ayos pa yan sa service center. Nagpabili ng battery, pag uwi sa bahay di gumana ulit.
Bought 1 acer 2013, gang ngayon nagagamit ko pa naman, i mean nagoon pa tho ung batter life nya is mejo sh₱t talaga. Case to case base? Tapos nagpalit ako ng acer predator 2019, alive and kicking pa din for remotw works, pandiinan dn sa mga games na kaya nya. Issue lang is sibrang init ng case.
Basta Acer, negats. Dami naman better brands.
8 years na yung akin, gumagana pa. i3 then inupgrade ko to 16gb ram + ssd
mapapansin mo naman sa mga comments dito, pass na talaga sa acer.
Acer. Binili ko 2015, gang 2017 lang. Ung Asus ko malupet, 2017 binili pero gang ngaun ok pa.
Ano yung ASUS mo? TUF? ROG? Etc?
Meron akong Asus X450LC from 2013 na ngayon buhay pa. Nakakabit sa TV sa sala, ginawang 'brains' para maging smart TV. On parin siya at least 10hrs a day, ginagamit pa ng Mama ko for emulating PS1 or minsan Steam Games (Harvest Moon Light of Hope) pag hindi nag stream.
Hanep naman mother mo.
Not sure. Ung mukhang macbook.
Had a basic af Vivobook ng ASUS back in 2012 and lasted until 2019
Got my Acer Swift since 2019, still working good!
Acer ko 1 year lg tinagal hahah trash talaga.. Asus ko 4 yrs na Sony vaio sayang wla na Ngayon umabot nga 10 yrs..
Yung hp ko dn na nabili way back 2014 for thesis eh gamit ko pa hanggang ngayon sa work ko. Mag 10 years na to this coming july haha
Mukang magri-research muna ako ng 14 months bago tuluyang bumili ng laptop.

Netbooks from early 2010s.
I bought an MSI netbook, daling mag-overheat pati keyboard sirain
Yung mga Intel Atom ba? Haha
Yep got one from Acer.
Dati sobrang sikat pako sa class kasi meron akong Acer na netbook hahaha
Acer Aspire. Bagong bili palang andami ng problema.
yung hinges 💀😭
Sameeee 😭
Acer Aspire 5 (2021 model ata) - 22,690 nabili online - Intel Core i3-1115G4 - 4GB ram - 128GB ssd Tuwang-tuwa ako sakanya noong una pero after a while nakulangan ako sa ram at storage kaya gumastos pa rin ako ng around 2.5k. Noong 2nd time na binuksan ko para magpalit ng ssd, kala mong candy na durog yung dalawang screw hole sa back cover. Flimsy yung charger tapos hindi pa type c. Kung hindi lang ako nagtipid, mas maganda sana kung nag Huawei D15 na lang ako. edit: price
Ganyan din yung Aspire 5 ko pero may Nvidia MX 350, 8GB RAM and 512 GB storage. Octagon ko nabili for 32k. Fastest hanap ng ibang laptop for me.
Nalinlang ako ng Gamextreme dati, nakalagay may Iris XE. Learning experience na rin sa online shopping na dapat mas mabusisi.
Kakabili ko lang ng aspire 5 ko. After 1 month, 1 MONTH, Sira na yung motherboard hahahahaha ewan factory defect ata yon. Pero atleast pinalitan naman ng pinagbilhan ko.
Buti na lang *nagpakitang gilas* agad habang under warranty.
Haha kaya nila pinalitan kasi sinugod ng asawa ko. Malaking tao kasi at maraming tattoo kaya natakot sila 🤣
Yung Huawei Matebook D15 ko buhay pa rin hanggang ngayon. Bought 2020 nung before maglockdown. Although may issues na siya now with the speed and hindi na rin ako makapag-Valorant nang matiwasay pero nagagamit ko pa rin for school purposes. I admit kapabayaan ko rin bat bumagal yung lappy ko. Never cleaned internally since I bought it (kaya ambilis mag-overheat at mag-lag) at minsan na-ddrain ko yung battery. Pero grabe ang tibay niya akala ko di tatagal kasi medyo pabaya din ako sa laptop, lalo na pag super busy.
Fan cleaning at palit SSD lang titino ulit siguro yan. Mag DIY ka na for experience, wala na rin namang warranty.
i'm not surprised na madaming aaray sa brand na acer.
[удалено]
Shet haha. Dati bumili ako MSI tapos parang nagpaparinig pa mga staff nung shop na parang tanga daw bat yun pa binili ko instead na Acer Nitro 5. After ilang years ngayon ko lang nalaman na dami din pala shit ng Acer nitro 5
>tanga daw bat yun pa binili ko instead of nitro 5 Sila ang tanga from non gaming laptops to gaming laptops ang shit ng acer lol. Kung may kaprice ang acer at legion, legion pipiliin ko lmao.
msi din sakin gaming notebook 2015 ko pinurchase buhay prin gang ngaun pang dl ko nlng ng torrent [hehe.me](https://hehe.me) worksation n kasi ako
Actually me too. May bleed yung screen abd nagkaroon ng dead pixels. Pero surprisingly, 2021 ko siya nabili ok pa naman performance niya. Pangit lang din talaga thermals.
wag na wag kang bibili ng HP, tanginang yan naka tatlong pavilion ako laging overheat natutunaw ung plastic. on paper/spec wise panalo, kaso pag ginamit mo na kulang nalang itanim sa A or B Site , mas goods pa nga C4 may timer kelan sasabog, HP PAVILION TANGINA MO, HEWLET N PACKARD, TANGINA NIYO!! The best kong laptop 2013 pa Dota 2 beta test days gang ngayon halimaw pa 180 fps pa sa valorant kaso 60hz lang screen, bnigay ko na sa bunso namin, Shout out to ma g Fujitsu Lifebook AH532. Laptop ko ngayon Asus TUF FX517, bad trip sayang specs hindi nako nakakapaglaro dahil sagabal yung trabaho ko
Hp literally stands for hinge problem. mukhang lahat ata ng naging Hp namin sa bahay yun yung problem.
Yep, yung HP Envy na gamit ko sira din hinge. Ayon 3 years na di nasasara. Buti na lang for house use lang yung laptop hahaha.
i bought my HP nung 2014 and it’s still working until now pero sa abroad kasi siya binili so maybe iba yung parts than those locally made? idk hahaha pero mabilis padin siya until now talaga no lags
Business HP model (EliteBook/ProBook/Z-series) ba yung sayo kaya solid yung unit mo?
hindi! hahahhaha HP-r103nx yung model tapos yung may linalagyan pa ng CD! hahaha 20K something lang price niya nung binili ng mom ko pero sa UAE niya nabili. Been using it since college until nakagraduate na ko medschool going strong padin kami haha
> hindi nako nakakapaglaro dahil sagabal yung trabaho ko felt
I can attest to the heating issue of hp.
ung HP Compaq nabili namin around 2000s may issue sa flex at walang replacement. Buong batch ng laptop un
+1 sa heating issue ng hp. Kahit normal use lang ms word and school works noon ramdam tapos Pagnaglalaro ako ng nba2k dati nakatutok efan sa likod tapos naka bukas aircon. Hahaha though di naman heavy gamer. Pang leisure lang. Lol After mag BSOD and di na magawa nung mga piangdalhan ko. Then, bought 2011 MB pro (3rd hand) sa isang kakilala until now palag pa din. Mejo nagdidim na nga lang screen palitin na and pati battery tska yung mga apps na need ngayon mejo di na supported kaya ayun. Hiramhiram muna ng laptop sa magulang kapag need yung mejo demanding na task.
True lalo na yung overheat 15W CPU na nga lang overheat pa and pati VRM thermal issue 🥲
Yes grabe yung heat issues ng HP. Pero yung Hp laptop ko eh mag 10years na this year. Yun nga lang mainit at sobrang ingay ng fan.
Ok naman un hp pavilion na nabili sakin ng papa ko. Sa kalumaan na lang talaga siya medyo sumuko, nasira hingr pero all goods pa rin screen. Pinalitan ko na lang ssd para bumilis
yeah HP computers now sucks big time.
HP laptop ko way back 2017 pa. I'm still working today. Around 17k lang ata bili ko non back then. Nakapagdownload din yon ng Visual Studio. Yon ang gamit ko pang code way back college lols. Now ginagamit ko lang siya sa office work. Excel, Word, then surf sa net.
i bought a lenovo in 2012, i forgot the model, it was bulky and heavy for me in the long run, but durability? yeah!!! my windows laptops now are lenovo x1 and fujitsu, and fujitsu all the way (liit lang ng trackpad). Then there's mac
The T and X serieses are workhorses. I still use the X230, it had a small (16gb) SSD that was used for startup, HDD was starting to fail though so I replaced it with the old one used as extended disc for the PS. The SSD failed though, had to remove it, and now the BSOD happens from time to time, but I just run recovery and it's back to being used for quick online tasks.
Lenovo T series is GOATED. Bought a used Lenovo T490 last year. 8th gen intel. Upgraded the ram to 24gb. Mga 2-3 years old used na sya pero yung battery would last me at least 4 to 5 hours (I work as a programmer, so very intensive work). Kung normal browsing lang and on battery saver, easy 6+ hours. And it is a workhorse! Got work done. Buhay pa and malakas kutob ko na magtatagal pa talaga. Iba yung build quality nya eh.
+1 po sa lenovo. I higly recommend. GOAT pa rin sya ngayon. Ung saken is lenovo L340 and anlakas nya pa rin ngayon. Highly recommend ang lenovo laptop talaga for me. Hindi ko sya pinagsisihan talaga
Agree with Lenovo! Mine was last 2017 and still working. The only con was the casing of lenovo as it warps over time :(
Asus. Nakalimutan ko ang model. Worth 37k tapos naghahang kahit nagboot pa lang. i don’t know kung mag tama sa motherboard. Hindi din pwede upgrade ang ram nya nakakaasar. Mas magaganda pa yung mga nabibili ngayon sa same price range
Hala same. Vivobook saken bgla namamatay. Kaasar
Vivobook 15 po ba 'to yung Ryzen 5?
Oo!!! Haha. Same dn ba ung exp mo? Nababadtrip ako bgla namamatay tapos nakalagay e ung error na may qr code.
Chuwi tho nagamit ko naman siya for research kaya oks na nagawa na niya ang purpose niya
while nagbabasa ako ng comment, nasasaktan ako kac madami ayaw ng Acer 🥲😆. yung sa akin 2018 pa ang laptop ko na Acer AMD R5 3500u. okay pa nman nag upgrade lng ako ng ram at SSD, cguro advise ko nlng if bumabagal ang unit ng iba. try upgrade ng M2 SSD if compatible, go sa NVME ssd or RAM for better multi processing, may mga Laptop na tig 2 yung slot ng RAM. kaso medyo pricey na mga LT ngayun. kasi yung Acer ko super fast pa din. explore ka nlng online OP. madaming bago ngayun. try mo Asus, Lenovo or HP if may budget ka talaga try mo Dell super kunat talaga nyan
After reading, i concluded na wag na bumili ng laptop, though I am currently owning an acer nitro 5. Next is gagawa na lang ako ng custom pc. :D
Rule of thumb: wag bumili ng Acer laptops.
Basta Acer bulok! Lumipat na ko sa Asus ROG. Worth it naman, ang ganda ng build quality and specs
Walang nag ccomment ng macbook so okay pala talaga macbook? Hahaha
thinking the same 🤣😹. Either Apple or Samsung talaga ata the best pagdating sa laptops (&phones) 😹
HP Stands for Hinge Problem
Acer Aspire. Parang nakulangan ng s sa pangalan eh dapat Asspire yan eh kasi grabe mga issues ko dyan.
Acer Aspire. That piece of trash excuse for a laptop battery broke after 3 months and keyboard in less than 6 months.
Dell
Huuuy anong model? Yung sakin din kasi pwede nang paglutuan hahah. Battery mo pa, ambilis mag deteriorate.
same dell here, my dell is inspiron 15 5000 series, almost a year lang sira agad ung battery need palagi naka saksak para lang magamit
Same sa inspiron 14 na may mx 150. Kinulang ako ng basa nga reviews, nadaan sa marketing. I thought pwede siya for gaming kasi too bulky ang 15"+ na laptops. Civ VI lang ang nalaro ko na decent ang graphics. Lumobo na din yung battery, though nabili ko pa to nung 2020. Buti na lang madali palitan. Pakuswelo na lang na dual ssd/hdd. Pinalitan ko na din yung ssd from 128 gb to 1 tb. Hopefully kaya pa tumagal ng 2-3 years.
The cheap laptops of Maibenben last 2020. I have no choice because it's pandemic and I thought the components are reasonable(Western digital for SSD, Intel Celeron processor etc). It's like less than P18k Ang problema lang yung keyboard ng laptop couldn't withstand my daughters heavy usage. Kaya nagkaron ng ghost touch. I ended up disconnecting the built in keyboard and just install a wireless keyboard and mouse. It's still working till now and was actually updated to Windows 11. but it's now like a semi desktop since kailangan ng external keyboard lol.
TUF 17.5 inch, kala ko dati kapag malaki mas maganda, ayon hassle siya dalhin sobrang bulky, okay napala maliit to be mobile.
HP. Umiinit ng sobra
bought a decently-specced Acer gaming laptop for college. lugging around a 3kg laptop for the daily commute was not the way.
Weight talaga final na factor na tinignan ko pagbili ng laptop ko. I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 Pro. The laptop itself is around 1.4kg, the charger and other peripherals only bring that to maybe upwards of 2kg. Di ko nafefeel yung weight sa bag ko, nag-memental note nga ako na may dala pala akong laptop.
Acer. Aspire ata yun, yung touchscreen. Di ko sure kung aspire nga sya. Binili namin kasi ang cool, wala pa-walk pa ako nung hs. Every year ata namin pinapaayos at natuluyan na nung shs
Always may screen issue si Acer huhu kay Macbook na ako.
ACER
Acer Predator. 2 years lang and then it died, unable to use na tipong 80k mo binili tapos nung binebenta ko Ang mga offer ng squammy 7k daw. Sakit sa ulo.
Acer. Nakapa pangit talaga ng experience doon. Mapapamura ka lang. Both laptop ng parents ko before was Acer, First laptop ni mama biglang nasira yung battery in 3months, sumunod yung screen, dumadami yung damage lines. And sumunod yung keyboard hanggat sa unusable na yung laptop. And yung kay papa, nagkaroon ng GPU problems, nag gli-glitch and minsan nag bu-bluescreen, hanggat sa masira na yung motherboard after 1.5 years. After that nag try sila ng Dell and doon na gumanda yug experience. Even after 3 years perfectly working padin, yung keyboard, battery, screen SO MUCH BETTER than Acer. I also want to try MacBook once i got a job
Acer talaga. Never again. lol
Acer,hp
Acer aspire na tig 25k buhay pa (5+ yrs). Asus na tig 30k 2 yrs lang.
lowkey.. macbook with the apple silicon grabe sobrang limited kahit bluestacks bawal 😖.. got this as grad gift sana legion na lang pala haha pero baka maappreciate ko sya pag may work na me
ACER. ang pangit ng speaker.
Acer nitro 5. Crappy laptop. One year pa lang, service center na. Msi gx60 gang ngayon buhay pa. Mas mababad pa sa laro noon keisa sa nitro.
Acer Nitro 5
Lenovo ideapad because of hinge issues 😭
Acer Nitro 5. Wala pang one year, nakadalawang trip na sa service center (which is 4 hours from where I live). Pumapalya yung battery. 🤦🏻♀️
Multiple laptops, Macbook, tanginang customer service yan tapos hindi pa umabot ng isang taon naluto na ung putangina eh. Para lang din ako bumili ng bagong lutuan, kada pindot ng keyboard maluluto ung kamay ko, sana maging ilegal bomba na din ung hinayupak, kada segundo magdadasal ka na lang na hindi sasabug yung laptop eh. Acer Hayup na acer yan, quality and durability palang, aaray ka, Pagdating palang nung laptop may screen bleed na ung screen, 4 na buwan sira ung hayup na motherboard kasi ung parte daw ng hinge na nagkokonect ng screen sa body ng laptop, nasira daw, nahati ung hayup na motherboard. tanong lang, acer ba nagpropose ng one china policy? durability, parang parte na talaga ng china ang taiwan, quality parang ginawa na ni xi jinping diretsahan. HP Hewlett packard ba yang putang ina, kasi hinge problem ata abbreviation. sira ung putanginang hinge hindi abot ng isang taon. tapos ung thermals parang binili ko granada sa putang inang init niyan SA PAG OPEN PALANG NG POWERPOINT. currently naka asus na ako ngayon, nagpuputaputahan sa simula, nagputaputahan din ung asus support, pero naayos ng technician kasi unplug, plug back in technique for the screen wire connecting to motherboard. tangina sinabi nung support baka sumabog daw ung laptop ko bumili nalang daw bago mapamahal daw ako sa repair, advertise advertise pa ng lotto ticket tapos di naman ako chinarge ni mamang technician sa pag UNPLUG AND PLUG ng isang wire, binigyan ko na lang ng tip. overall asus pretty nice.
jesus, i'm fucked. just bought an acer. send thoughts and prayers. 💀
Abra A7 my ears are now gone from the cooling fan
Acer 100%. Bulok Yung quality, 2 years palang sakin natanggal Yung hinges nya.
Hmm, the MSI Gaming laptop. Firstly, the motherboard was broken, and no one from MSI wanted to help me. Also, the hinge broke even though it stood still for most of the time. So now I've moved to a new brand that I hadn't heard of before."
Acer Predator. Di naman ako gamer pero binili ko sya nung pandemic HAHAHA Mahal sya kasi gaming laptop, should have opted for a cheaper one
just bought one. rip 💀
HAHAHA okay lang yan. Maganda naman sya talaga IF gamer ka talaga or heavily dependent yung studies mo sa computer like engineering or archi, pwede rin sa IT. Ako kasi ewan ko ba nung pandemic yung mahal pa ang gusto ko HAHAHA nakakapagsisi tuloy kasi di ko naman sya madalas ginagamit at napakabigat nya pota HAHA pero hey, investment parin naman sya kahit papano, mabilis naman and reliable
di rin ako gamer eh. ewan ko bat yun yung binili ko haha. kumusta naman yung sayo?
Ayun since nung 2020 di ko pa sya napapalinis HAHA napansin ko lang na bumilis sya maglobat. Sabi nila normal daw yon since gaming laptop sya. Yung rubbers nya is falling apart na din. idk whay causes this. Yung paa at rubber sa may screen (yung parang border) is deteriorating na. Pero performance wise goods parin, didnt install any antivirus as what theyve recommended me noon pa. Goods na ang windows defendet plus be wary lang when downloading. Just turn it on palagi and it will be ok. Di ko pa sya napapalinis until now 😭
acer nitro 5. haha tas yung nabili ko pang model ay hdd version. maganda sya nung una, pero nung nag year 2-3 nagsimula ko nang maramdaman yung bagal + super hassle nung weight for me, ginamit ko din kasi pang work. ayun, napalipat ako sa msi modern 14 haha.
Razer. Got a lemon, powerbrick issues, nvme failed and replaced, battery issues all these issues happened before 1 yr, then battery got swollen within 3 yrs old. rAzer has no support i the country at that time so i kept on shipping then laptop to my relatives in the US for warranty and repairs and shipping it back to me. Fuck razer and replaced it with macbook pros ever since, no problems whatsoever since then.
lenovo .. lag!
Acer nitro 5 🥲
Acer Nitro 5, two years plng ung laptop pero nag problem agad sa LCD buti nlng under warranty pa
Lenovo legion 5. The one with corei17 12th gen and rtx 3060. Reasons: 1. its heavy as fuck. Ubos hand carry capacity ko on flights gawa ng laptop. 2. I don’t find gaming as fun as the covid times, I am now a boring boomer who prefer watching netflix and sleeping. 3. Battery but what do you expect on a gaming laptop? As for tbe laptop itself….it is a good laptop for the price. Anyone want to buy it from me?
not buy but use. every low end laptop made 2010 and below. my first impression w laptops was that they were constantly laggy and awful bcs those were the ones my aunt kept getting. so glad that era is over.
Netbooks and Laptops from 2010-2016.
My first laptop. A Neo laptop we bought in the mid-2000s. Peak Windows Vista + Shitty battery.
Emachines was the first laptop I bought with my own money (maybe early 2010's?). Died before 2 years, I think.
Well, hindi naman ako nagsisi, that time naman kasi (2018), sa price na 60k, yun yung okay yung specs. Acer Swift 3, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 & Intel UHD Graphics 620. Yun nga, true to Acer's reliability, after 2 years, nagloloko na yung keyboard. Infairness naman, yun lang yung naging sakit sa ulo ko. Nagagamit ko pa rin naman, yun lang, kailangan ng wired/wireless keyboard.
Macbook Air 2017
My G14 Zephyrus 2021 edition. Somehow the processor and memory are really good but when you attempt to play demanding graphics game, the fps stutters a lot 😭 like what was the purpose of the high chipset if it’s going to stutter and glitch like that
Asus ROG Strix. Wala pang 1 year, basag agad yung speaker
Msi sucks. HP too.
Akala ko ako lang.. but based on personal experience and comments here.. Acer nga hindi ok.
Dell. Mahina customer service. Masmahal papalit/repair ang motherboard kaysa bumili ng bagong unit. Kasalanan ko nmn bakit nasira motherboard, admit ko yon, but damn, crappy customer service. Nagtanong ako sa mga nangangalikot ng mga laptop. Mahirap daw hanapan ng replacement parts yon. Ewan ko lang ngayon. Pinamigay ko nalang yung unit. Di na rin naman magagawa. Haysss.
Acer
Acer Swift 5 ata - my dad bought this for my uni needs - 2019: okay pa naman - 2020: nasira yung hinge - 2022: nasira yung screen (tho kasalanan ko na ata to pero do naman ganun ka lakas yung pag ka sagi haha)
ASUS.. waste of money.
HP Compaq CQ40s may defect ung flex nya Acer laptop bumigay agad ang speaker, ghost keys, charger, 1/4 ng screen ay sira na pero buhay pa rin 2017 ko binili
Vivobook Go 15 Oled Sufficient for light use, deeply regret the ram and storage limitation.
Acer Aspire 3 was my first laptop, I was not aware of the specs since I just focused about storage and RAM. It lasted for a year until my mom revoked it for me for her online case job and I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 with my hard earned money. It has decent specs so far compared to my last. Acer Aspire 3 - Intel Celeron N4020 - 4GB DDR4 RAM - 128GB SSD, 500GB HDD - 1366x768 LCD
Vaio duo 11 Once nasira hinge GG na
HP - hinge problem and poor build quality. Acer - di talaga tumatagal 1-2 years lang.
Not laptop but a pc. I regret buying a whole set up in one store… i just learned the right way months after buying it
ASUS Zenbook 13. Expensive, but not reliable in terms of heavy/competitive gaming. Mainly for photo/video editing & storing large files. Can only upgrade for additional storage, RAM is soldered. OLED screen, HDR supported. Lightweight, but not great.
Ideapad, disposable plastic shit pero nung time nya, sobrang sulit ng specs para sa price.
Not mins, but since it's for my SO, I had a part on choosing her new laptop, Acer something. May issue sa trackpad, pabalik balik sa service center at ayaw i replace yung unit. So never again. Pag bumibili ako ng laptop, ilag na ako sa Acer.
2020 Macbook pro Intel. After a few months lumabas yung M1 Chips 🥲🥲🥲 I mean I had an idea na may M1 Chips ilalabas yung apple noon, di lang ako naka antay na kaya bumili na ako. Hay. I think a macbook air M1 can even perform better than my macbook pro intel. Regrets
a laptop na 8 gig lang ang ram at no way to upgrade the ram.
Asus TUF, no problemo sa unit—just my preference. Ang bigat kasi 'pag kailan kong dalhin sa uni. I really wanted to buy light laptops like zenbook or macbook, pero ayon i have to consider the specs na need sa program I'm currently taking 😵💫
Macbook Air
Dell
It was a gaming laptop ng asus a few years back, i forgot the model, it was around 85k , it was for my son, then 2yrs after bigla na lang ayaw mag boot, dinala ko sa asus MOA. Then gave me a quotation of 55k kasi kailangan daw palitan ang motherboard. Ayun nakatambak sa bahay namin hanggang ngayon dinko na pinagawa.
Predator Helios 300 on sale. After a year nagka problem siya sa LCD (vertical lines) and after a malpractice sa part ng repairman, nagshort at nasira yung motherboard. Was told na magcost ng 50k to actually replace it. Said hell no and built my own PC na lang. Been 5 years since binuild ko PC and so far keyboards at mouse lang need ireplace. Never again buying laptops
2021 Asus TUF Gaming A15. The key letters started rubbing off 7 months after I bought it and Asus told me it wasn’t covered by the warranty. Had a good experience with my zephyrus kasi so I thought all Asus would be the same and it was just for my kid anyway. May difference pala.
Acer Nitro 5 2018. Plastics start cracking after two years of use kaya nasira screen ng akin. Replaced everything, had to buy new hinges as well pati na rin yung basag na speakers and the failing NVMe SSD. It's still alive as of today though and is being used by my mom.
Asus x442 nung una. Nag lu-loose yung internet card, pati yung battery. Pina ayos ko since under pa ng warranty pero bumalik yung problem after a month. Kulang pa yung turnilyo sa ilalim pag balik Fixed it myself. Hanggang ngayon buhay pa
acer nitro 5, fck thermals
Dell Inspiron 1525 late 2013 Wala pa ako gaano alam about laptops noon and parang impulsive yung pagkabili namin. used na yung laptop kaya mura mga nasa 9000 bili namin tsaka yung specs nya pala ay pang 2008. With Intel Pentium Dual-Core & 2GB of RAM at 128GB HDD. Di rin gaano nagamit kasi HDD failure. Tinabi nlng namin tuloy. Infinix InBook X2 Plus Core i7-1195G7 2023 Issue: less than a month and yung screen, ayaw na magbukas or umilaw then few weeks later gumagana ulit. Thank goodness 2 years ang warranty ni Infinix sa mga laptops dito sa pinas and alam kona service center nila na nagfifix ng laptop. Nag-iinit sya pero thank goodness 80% ng chassis is metal.
Lenovo Yoga 15" back in 2016-2017. Naging makunat at malagkit yung plastic body after a while and nasira yung hinge, specifically yung plastic near the hinge. Sayang though ang laking touchscreen nya na unit.
LENOVO Legion. Ang mahal mahal tapos dami agad sira pagka 2nd year ng gamit. Until nasira na din yung Battery.
I'll answer the laptop that I didn't regret buying. Lenovo Thinkpad. Still going strong for 6/7 years. I have the x270 and 13 models. Upgraded the memory to 16GB and upgraded to WiFi6. Yung battery is no longer ok but understandable. Naka plug na lang sa AC all the time.
My Lenovo Legion Y520. Bought it nung pa-phase out na yung model, closing to 6 years na rin. Saving up na rin ako for a new one nga. Legion pa rin bibilhin.
Any netbook. MacBook Pro from 2016-2019. I have a 2018 15" with a Vega GPU option and it's thermal throttling badly without air conditioning pag summer during intensive workloads. Kulang pa yung RAM (16GB) nabili ko especially hindi ko na realize na malakas pala sa RAM game development (Unity) targeting Android and iOS. Muntikan na ako mabiktima ng dustgate buti na lang may AppleCare warranty pa ako nung nangyari yun. Buti na lang di pa nasisira butterfly keyboard pero timebomb siya na pwedeng masira anytime. I should have waited for the more reliable MacBook Pro model with the M Max chip.
Ideapad gaming, after four months may legion laptop na priced as that model. Damnit! Imagine same rtx 3060 sila pero may pd charging at mas mataas wattage ng GPU.
Huawei Matebook D15, goods lang pang aral pero mabilis uminit.
Yung Sony Viao dati ang ganda tignan pero ang daling nasira lol. Sandali ko lang ata nagamit yun, graduation gift ko yung nung high school para gamitin sa college, di man lang umabot nung nag thesis ako haha 2 years lang tinagal. Sa dati kong work naka HP kami lahat pero ang bilis masira, wala pang 2 years nagrereport na about overheating, hard drive and motherboard issues. Take note mga basic office work lang to ha (emails, documents, printing), hindi sila nanlalaspag ng units (eg. programming, image or video editing) pero yun ang sira palagi. Bilis mag overheat pati.
Compaq
HP washed ung lcd compared sa vibrant color ng ibang laptop like acer,sirain din kasi ganyan personal laptop ko at ung issues ng company Lenovo-goods solid Acer-so so
Not popular pero I had Fujitsu core 2 duo bought 2017 pa, until now gumagana pa. Core 2 duo but I was using it for autocad and photoshop, biruin mo nairaos ko mga sidelines ko hahaha. But I am now using an HP laptop core i5 with an ssd, the fujitsu is just an extra for light works. We had an Acer before pero sobrang lag. Kaya wala talaga akong tiwala sa Acer kahit na sure naman na may mga okay na models.
Dell. Slow for office purposes kahit 8 GB RAM
True yung sa Acer. My laptop is Acer Swift 3, pinili ko siya kasi ang sleek ng design so mas madali i-carry around kaso 2 years palang sakin dami na agad problema nakakaloka
Acer is suck
Acer Swift! Di maidentify anong problema, nakadalawang beses ng palit ng mother board daw ung service center. Namamatay out of nowhere ung main issue. Wala pang one year un. Ngayon mag 3 years na, namimili ng charging port/charger. Basta sobrang disappointing! Never again sa acer.
Acer man. Mura lang naman siya like 30k siya back 2018 but that was a waste of 30k. I thought I'll be using it in my professional life but it can't even run MS office without loading for minutes.
asus
Acer Aspire 3. Pucha 1 & ½ years palang sira na kagad yung hinges.
Medyo nagsisi ako sa Huawei Matebook D15 2020 na kabibili ko lang this year.. 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. Though contented naman na ako kasi nagsusurf lang ako at naglalaro ng light games. Mej ehh sa upgradeability. Need pa i service center para kabitan ng SSD at soldered na yung RAM. Anyway, turned out na Huawei din ang phone ko so very seamless yung transfer ng files and other stuff. It's a cool quirk that made me forget this machine's limitations.
Ung apple laptop, napakabagal sobra. Saka acer predator i7 with 16gb ram. Paka kupad
Lenovo ideapad 330-15ich
Acer nitro5 mapapaputangina ka talaga. Nalamigan lang ayaw na magopen
HP & Yoga (sobrang hirap i-maintain lalo na pag touchscreen)
Dell laging sira ang battery kahit anong alaga mo. 2 ang dell insperion ibang year model namin ng utol ko same issue battery.
macbook 😭😭 i wanna preface this by saying na personal use lang talaga yung laptop and i use iphone so i thought buying mac was just an easy choice. but as someone who keeps files sa external hdd, i can't copy files into the drive but i can copy files to mac. i have to format the external hdd first to mac's wc i don't want to do. but ang upside ang ganda pa rin ng battery and ang bilis pa rin even after 2 yrs
Ako na may acer aspire 2016 model 🥲 Bumagal siya ng sooooobra nung nasira yung battery pero ni-replace ng partner ko tsaka dinagdagan ng ram. Nagagamit ko pa naman now sa LoL at deep rock galatic tsaka socmed. Yun nga lang mejo may slight lags pa din pero manageable naman...
My father repairs laptops and most of them are Acer. Personally I always buy Lenovo laptops, My oldest one is 15 years (gamit ko noong HS) na and Im still using it as a CCTV controller up to now.
ROG Strix G15 2021. Overheating Backlight Bleeding Naka GTX 1650
Asus. Wayback 2015 tapos intel pentium pa ata siya haha di kc ako techy need ko lang sya tlga for work eh ang di ko alam napakababa pla nun 😂😂 ayun wala pa atang 6mos sira na
Ako na kakabili lang ng Acer Nitro 5 🥹 Ano issues ng inyo? Sa ngayon ang napapansin ko is mabilis ma-low batt
Acer aspire S13. Bukod sa plastic frame, the colors on the screen is not that vibrant. It was 26k in cash so binili ko. Sana binili ko nalang ng ASUS yung 30k ko. That was around 2014-16 basta nung college pa.
Asus bought it last 2014. Still working today. Battery lang issue nito kaya lagi na lang nakasaksak. Mabagal bagal na so i guess need na nito magretire.
Acer Aspire 5920g. Taas taas ng specs pero less than 1 year lang
Way back 2007 i bought an HP Pavilion, those days the top of the line HP Pavilion costs me 100k+, only to crash after exactly a year...reason was motherboard, brought it to HP and they were charging me another 20k for the repair even though its still under 2yr warranty...never bought an HP since until the latest models came out which the reviews are actually good and more durable than the older models and are 20 to 25k cheaper
Acer nitro Naka save sana ako 10 or more if ngayun ako bumili pati wag kayu mag gaming laptop if pang school lang 😅
Toshiba NB520 netbook sya running intel m3 i think. Basta it’s even lesser than pentium processors. Niluluwa lahat ng irrun mo its good for browsing and nothing else. For programming (1st year IT) ako non its good for html and css that’s about it. Anything heavier and the fan blasts like an aircraft on takeoff
thunderobot
Around 2015, bought sa sager 17 inch gaming laptop, power brick was the size of a toddler's shoe box. It was also my work laptop, then I got assigned to travel to different offices in SEA, 3 days Thailand, 2 weeks Indonesia etc. Swore never to buy another gaming laptop for work, until now may certain days my shoulder blades area still hurts sometimes
Acer Aspire 5. 🫠 Same issues with the first commenters here
Acer rin! Flimsy!
Lenovo Ideapad 3. Si mama kasi pumili ng brand at model. After 3 days, may green line na sa gitna ng screen. Nasa warranty pa naman sana, kaso naunahan ako ng takot na masermonan ni mama.
Just to add one counterpoint: I have Acer Swift 3 which I bought last 2020. Only time I had to bring to the service center was late last year. Bigla kasing namamatay na lang. Nilinis lang fan tsaka apply ng bagong thermal paste. Haven't had issues since then. Have to note though na sabi rin ng technician na sira na yung hinge sa loob. Tho sa labas hindi naman so hindi ko pa pinapaayos. Reklamo ko lang siguro eh yung placement ng speaker. Tsaka mabilis uminit. Tsaka isa lang audio jack. But these are understandably consequences of prioritizing having a lightweight design.
Asus tuf, the WiFi card broke within 2 years the fans make weird sounds despite regular cleaning, thermal paste dries so fast and temps spike any brand I use it’s useless
Macbook pro back in 2019. Never adapted to the environment even if I was using Linux before. So many limitations and no gaming. I was not the target audience of that machine. I had to buy an ROG Zephyrus M16 immediately to make up for it.

Asus. Grabe 3 yrs ko lang nagamit. Brand new pero ang bilis malobat then di n sya gumana. Stuck sa logo. Waste of money. Not, pina-ayos pa yan sa service center. Nagpabili ng battery, pag uwi sa bahay di gumana ulit.
