First topic message reminder :

hi cgp.

my pc at home finally gave up after more than 4 years of service.
i need to buy a new one but this time a laptop...maily dahil madaling bitbitin kung saan saan pag kinailangan mag render on the spot and pag may client meeting.

to make the story short ,, ito po yung na canvass ko na pasok sa budget.,,i also checked the forums on cgp about the ideal specs. to meet out needs when it comes sa rendering. im torn ito 2 laptop.. asus or compaq? ASUS is my first choice,,, i dont know lang kasi yung compaq 500gb yung hard disk...i dunno nalilito na po ako.

ASUS K42JK-VX026

COMPAQ PRESARIO CQ42-268TX

please tell me your insights.
thank you po.

maganda na yung specs ng asus at masganda kung dedicated yung graphics.

yup OK po yung ASUS K42JC-VX130, durable din ang asus brands

"free dos"

go for asus, across the board, best laptop in terms of durability. i have date, i just can seem to find it right now. pero un nga go for asus. compaq - hp will bottom out on you early.

kung Asus po pala ang napili nyo, mas madali na po ang Tech support dahil may service center sila sa SM Mega Cybergate
