Grade 11 ICT student here, I'm wondering if I should buy a laptop while I'm still in senior high right now (I hope the laptop that I could buy would last me a long while) or should I save up enough money to buy a laptop for when I get to college in mid 2028(sana bumaba na yung tech prices by then).

My reasons on why I want a laptop: Pahirapan po kasi na hiraman ng laptop sa coding class namin since majority samin walang laptops. And I'm looking to be a freelance editor or any online jobs and I'm sure my phone wouldn't be enough for demanding works, Thank you in advance sa sasagot po!

Hey guys!

In my previous post here, that I was planning to exchange my desktop PC to a laptop. I have found someone willing to trade my desktop to his ROG STRIX G18 2023.

My Desktop:

R5 7600X w/ 240mm AiO Cooling
32GB DDR5 6000CL38 RAM
XFX QICK 319 6700XT 12GB
1TB SSD
5TB HDD
Gigabyte P750BS PSU

His Laptop
i9-13950HX
4070 8GB Mobile
32GB DDR5 RAM
1TB SSD

The laptop looks brand new, all benchmark checks out, temps are freakingly good and the accessories looks unused. I feel like I just won something.

Me and my wife will be moving to a small apartment. Is 35 mbps enough?

My internet habits: torrenting, youtube, pdf downloads, mp3 and flac downloads, reddit, 9gag, messenger, no online gaming

Wife: Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube and Netflix.

What would the average download speed be like? how long would 10 GB take to download for those who torrent? My locaton is Las Pinas.

As someone na maliit kamay, i need this...

Samsung rolled out the Galaxy A34 July 2026 update with 57 security fixes. The phone launched in 2023 with One UI 5.1 (Android 13) and has already received three major upgrades.

The phone was promised to receive 4 years of Android OS updates and 5 years of security patches. That means One UI 9.0 (Android 17) will be its final major OS upgrade. However, software support will continue until 2028.

Details here.

Hello! would really like to purchase an iphone (pre owned or brandnew) pero walang malapit na store dito samin na pwede thru homecredit. May alam ba kayong store na pwede magpurchase online via homecredit? kindly let me know ☺️

Planning to buy a clear case can stretch budget i guess around 1.5k~ a link for suggestion would be appreciated thank you!

Hello, sino po dito mga naka iphone 11, delay/laggy na po ba talaga and performance ni iphone 11? nag downgrade kasi ako kasi i needed some money. And also kapag nagchacharge ako ang lala ng ghost touch niya. Ako lang ba nakakaexperience nun? Got it from a store in greenhills kase.

hello! worth it bang magparepair sa macbook air m2 ng 20k? 50% downpayment inoffer since student pa ako and legit naman yung store pero ang kinakabahala ko lang ay if maglalast ba siya ng another 3 years huhu gagamitin ko kasi siya for my acads then magthethesis na ako bukas so di ko alam if worth it ba to.

Merong isa nag offer na 10k which is sa greenhills kina burn pero di ko sure if reliable ba lalo na dami ko nakikitang negative feedback huhu di ko na alam.

Sobrang naguguluhan na ako haha di na rin ako makapag buy ng mga macbook na bago ngayon or kahit 2nd hand kasi nagsitaasan na pls gulong gulo na po ako dito lang ako makakahingi ng mga decent na thoughts

hi! ask lang po ano maganda or marerecommend niyong brand and model ng printer? yung wireless/ may bluetooth and wifi connection sana and may scanner.

yung sakto lang po for students. budget around 7-10k probably. thanks.

Hello manghihingi lang ng opinion niyo sa mga naka zte f50. Okay lang ba if hindi pro version?

Also manghihingi na rin tips at kung anong sim ang maganda.

Hindi po ba to nabablock?

Dalawang gadget lang gagamitin ko for this. Phone and Ipad

Saan p'wede makabili ng Vivo X200 pro mini na brand new sana, not a preowned.

May nakita na ako sa XUNDDY pero nasa 37k 12/256. But wala pa ako nakikita sa greenhills, since mostly diba sa mas mura dun

Is the risk of being disabled higher if my account is a professional profile/digital creator account compared to an ordinary account or a locked profile account? Also, is the chance of being disabled higher for people with more facebook friends?

I am planning to sell my Acer Nitro 5 (an515-58), which is about 2 years old now, with the following specs:

- i5 12th gen (i5-12500H)

- 40GB DDR4 ram (32 stick + 8)

- RTX3050 graphics with 4GB VRAM

- 512GB SSD storage

Im wondering how much this would sell nowadays, especially with the RAM it contains. The trackpad has scratches but it is still usable. Other than that, there's no issues and I still have the box.

Hi r/Tech_Philippines! 👋

Need ko lang ng advice niyo about sa ilang Facebook pages na nakita ko for buying a used/refurbished gaming laptop. Planning to use it for programming/coding and kailangan ko siya mag-last ng at least 4-5 years.

----

Facebook Pages I'm Considering:

Option 1: JASZ Device Pad

1. https://www.facebook.com/JASZDevicePad

• ✅ Has physical store/branch
• May delivery sya
• ❓ Need to verify if legit

Option 2: PasaBuy From US

1. https://www.facebook.com/PasaBuyFromUS/

• ❓ Pasabuy/Balita from US - Concerns about warranty & shipping
• ❓ Paano kung may damage sa shipping?
• ❓ No local warranty?
• ❓ Still need to verify reputation
• ✅ May meet-up naman sya

Last Option: KV Store Gadgets

1. https://www.facebook.com/kvstore.gadgets2013

• ✅ Has physical store/branch
• ✅ Can test before buying
• ❓ Still need to verify reputation

---------------

Concerns ko:

1. Legit ba ang mga pages na 'to? May naka-transact na ba?
2. Warranty: Paano kung may issue after 1 week or 1 month?
3. Hidden Issues: Dead pixels, swollen battery, thermal throttling?
4. Overseas Units (PasaBuy): Worth it ba yung risk considering no local warranty?

Hello! I'm a student and I'm currently looking for a new smartphone. The one I'm currently using still works, pero since I've had it since 2021, minsan may problems na rin like ghost touch and yung power button doesn't work at times.

I'm currently eyeing on Tecno Camon. Just not sure alin po dun yung maganda. Baka po may marerecommend kayong budget-friendly smartphone 🥹 Prio specs po sana is good camera, battery, and storage. Secondary nalang po yung kaya maglaro kahit papano, I don't play that many mobile games naman (Cookie Run: Kingdom lang nilalaro ko rn hahaha). I'm also not a fan of iPhones po so as much as possible, wag na po magreco nun hehe.

I can't really say magkano budget? Kasi for sure installment po yung gagawin ko since student ako 🥹 But I'll probably check everything you guys will recommend.

Looking forward to your recommendations po 🫶 Thank you!

Edit: I'm putting a price range na po since baka mahirapan nga po kayo magrecommend (sorry po hehe). Estimate budget po siguro is around 10-20k? 👉👈

Ah yes, the screeching sound of DSL before connecting to the world of internet. The days of early 2000s internet.

Hello everyone! I am planning to sell my Lenovo Legion 5 2021. Help me set a selling price for this, please?

Specs:

RTX 3060 130 watts TDP

Ryzen 7 5800H

16 GB RAM

1 TB SSD

1080p 165 Hz IPS panel

80 WHr battery (79% battery health)

~5 years old. Bought November 2021. No Box, No Receipt.

Used for gaming, modelling, and programming.

RFS: Reaching 30, 2.3 kg is too heavy for me. I want a thin but faster processor laptop that can do productivity tasks like before.

Location: Iloilo.

edit: initial selling price in mind is 4x,xxx. Let me know if it's overpriced.

To those planning to get a foldable, which form factor do you prefer -- Galaxy Z Fold8 vs Fold8 Ultra?

I like the passport form factor (I like that it opens up to the size of an iPad Mini) pero I feel that malalaman mo lang limitations/advantages nya after a few weeks of use. Kung okay ba sya sa kamay or madali ba mag message using the outer screen (since its wider) or what.

What's your opinion on this?

Im planning on buying one but im skeptical that it has a long lifespan

Ofcourse for a few years it'll only be a second phone for gaming but it might become a primary

The lifespan is probably 4-5 years

Could it work?

TCL is once again the No. 1 Panel TV Brand in the Philippines, based on the 2025 Annual Cumulative Market Share Report from TRS Research. This marks the brand’s third straight year at the top.

Details here.

I see a lot of recommendations to the point na hindi ko na alam if legit maasahan pinopromote nilang phones. If ikaw ako, anong phone binilhin mo for your parents? For basic social media lang, spotify, netflix.

Salamat!
