having issues charging a toshiba laptop. usually, "plugged in not charging" siya. pero minsan kahit sinasabing "plugged in, charging" siya, nag de-decrease naman ang batt charge. no known good ac adapter to test with. may fix ba dito? TIA!

[techglimpse]

what laptop would you recommend for the budget of 25k-30k? I want a powerful one within that range only. I do edit photos, videos, and play some casual games. Thank you.

edit photo? videos? as a profession?

I think with your budget you can get somewhere in this specs:
2GB ram
2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo
250Gb Hard Disk
Built-in Video Card

For storage of movies and music, ok lang ba ang external portable harddrive? I plan to buy 1tb kasi, but I'm not sure baka magcrash if sa external portable harddrive ko ilagay. the reason why sa portable hdd is para tipid sa space sa bahay.

and saan store yun meron masmurang western digital portable harddrive? i decided for western digital based sa mga naging experience ng friends ko, so far yun ang brand na tumagal sa kanila compare sa iba. malayo ang gh and gilmore sa akin, so i'm avoiding those places to buy my hdd. sa mall lang ako malapit, i know it's more expensive compare to gh and gilmore, but baka meron specific store na masmura. im targeting the glorietta, moa, trinoma or megamall malls

Hello po. Not sure if this has been asked (search feature is not working for me) pero tatanong ko lang po sana kung okay po ang features nung bagong labas na galaxy tab (Samsung Galaxy tab 2 P3100). With a price of 12990, is it a good buy?

Thank TechPinas!

Lahat naman ng HD hindi 100% na hindi masisira.
Are you getting the portable(USB powered) or the one with AC adaptor?
May PC corner at PC express yata sa Mega.

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Note. I bought it in Greenhills. I wanted to update it to ICS but the lady in Samsung said that my phone was not made here in the Philippines, thus their update might have side effect to my phone. But they can install ICS on my phone but without guarantee that my phone will still work afterwards? Will it be worth the try?? Will it be safe??

Suggest you backup your data first before updating.

Then restore once 5.1.1 is installed.

i got my Dell inspiron for 28k
4GB Ram
2.67 Ghz core i3 (first gen)
160GB HDD
dedicated Video card.

and that was June of 2011 (last year)

so you'll probably gonna get better specs than a core 2 duo if you're going to use that budget today.
