lamoe 15,619 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Couple of months ago laptop had to go in for repairs. Rigged Acer 10" with mini Bluetooth keyboard from IPad case - $15 @ BB&B - and mini-mouse, sorry Mickey. Find I now use tablet almost exclusively for everything, texting, email, web browsing, except word processing (no cut / paste) and CAD work. Like that I can take it with me where ever I am in house. WiFi capable so makes for some interesting SKYPE video chats. They seem to love when they see me really cooking - gotta ya. Anyone else? Just picked up an HP 17.3", 8 gig ram x 750 gig memory laptop at K-Mart for $486.39 (19,500P?) total with tax. Anyone know what it would cost about there?

lamoe 15,619 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I don't usually buy the latest of any electronics. Very older versions typically 25 to 40% cheaper. Latest version of this PC is about $750 depending on where you buy it. Link to post Share on other sites
Administrator +Salty Dog 78,661 Posted October 7, 2013 Administrator Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Just picked up an HP 17.3", 8 gig ram x 750 gig memory laptop at K-Mart for $486.39 (19,500P?) total with tax. Anyone know what it would cost about there? I would say P30,000 - P35,000, more if it's a quad core. My friend paid about P42,000 for 14" LED, with a terabyte HD, quad core Samsung. Many times you don't even get software with a new computer here unless you pay extra. A desktop PC would be less, with similar configuration. You can get a decent net-book though for P12,000 and adequate notebook for around P20,000. Edited October 7, 2013 by Salty Dog Link to post Share on other sites
lamoe 15,619 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have read that electronics can be somewhat expensive and hard to find. I'll be bringing all my toys with me. Just picked up a 220V to 100V 1600 watt converter for $1.50 (60P) at Goodwill and a 5,200 Mah dual amp USB rechargeable battery from Office Max for 400P Also will bring maybe 6 MP3 players as gifts. 4 Gig Apple shuffle knockoff (550P each with charger) Link to post Share on other sites
