Research for the Best Php 40,000 Laptop

2008-02-02T09:54:00.000+08:00

1. Lenovo G400 (Php 32, 995.00 )

The G400 features Intel’s Premium Dual-Core T2080 processor, and operates on Microsoft Disk Operating System (DOS). The Strip Black notebook comes in a sleek black cover and boasts a 14.1” WXGA high definition glossy widescreen display. This model is also equipped with Lenovo’s trademark One Key Recovery, which allows users to easily recover data in the event of a crash.
Communication and entertainment features include an integrated microphone, Realtek High Definition Audio and limited edition Power2Go 5.5, multimedia software that allow the user to record various forms of data.

2. HP COMPAQ Presario V3617 (Php 34,950.00)

Specs can be found here.

This is a new laptop that hasn't been reviewed. However, it's not totally new since it's still an extension of the HP Compaq line.

3. ACER Aspire 4520-401G12Mi (Php39,900.00)

Here are the specs for this stylish computer.

Like the Acer Aspire 4920 (covered in Oct07 issue), the Acer Aspire 4520 is also based on the Gemstone design, but it lacks the punch that Aspire 4920 had. It misses out on elegance, doesn't have the dedicated touch button for media playback, and the 3D logo on the top of the lid, which was the centre of attraction in the Aspire 4920 isn't there either.

Based on AMD Athlon 64 processor this 14.1 inch notebook comes with 1 GB of DDR2 RAM. It has a dedicated NVIDIA 7000m graphics card and scored well in our 3D Mark test but nothing extraordinary. We had troubles while trying to run most of the current generation games. The various connectivity options that this one has include Bluetooth, WiFi, FireWire, S-Video VGA, 4 USB ports, and a memory card reader. The odd design of touchpad buttons doesn't gel well with the overall white base and looks out of sync. Being a low cost option, we didn't expect it to perform exceptionally well, but it performed satisfactory; in fact it performed better than the Sahara EK50 (reviewed this month). At a price of 33k and the performance that it offers, this one is surely an enviable option that you can go for.

If you're thinking of buying online, go to PC Express or Tipid.com. However, I suggest you visit SM North's Cyberzone or your nearest computer dealer, like Villman, since all these models are available there.

Research on Horoscopes

2008-02-02T09:26:00.000+08:00

My birthday's a couple of weeks from now - February 13, 1982. No jokes about me being named "Valentina" please.

I'm born under the sign of Aquarius, the water bearer.

Characteristics of Aquarians:

Positive Aspects:

Friendly and humanitarian
Honest and loyal
Original and inventive
Independent and intellectual

Negative Aspects:

Intractable and contrary
Perverse and unpredictable
Unemotional and detached

Most compatible signs to Aquarians are Sagittarius, Gemina, Libra, and Aries. For more compatibility guides, check this out.

Here's my daily horoscope:

"You have the motivation for improving your surroundings or life situations. Counseling young people may occupy your day, along with a bit of team sports or some other fun activity. Try to eliminate any aggressiveness or preaching for now--you will avoid hard feelings. You appreciate your ties to others. You seek to observe and promote harmony in the interactions between people. Broadening your intellectual and spiritual horizons takes on a high priority. You are intent on seeing the big picture and getting to the point. You have become more confident in your ability to make decisions. Being in touch with ideas and people, perhaps through telecommunication or psychology, on a grander scale than ever, keeps your enthusiasm high. "

MBA Year 1

2008-02-02T09:16:00.000+08:00

This is my 3rd sem here at GSB. So far, so good.

I have two subjects this term: Financial Accounting and Business Communication. My FinAcctg classes are every Monday under Danny Cruz; my other class is under Vice Dean Pia Manalastas at Tuesdays.

Pursuing an MBA degress is a self-continuous improvement (or CI) process I chose to commit to. I want to be able to broaden my professional appeal, in terms of skills and network.

I have to say I haven't had any experience that sticks out sof far. The classes have been great. I think I may have been blessed to have been in fun and nurturing classes.
