In Laptops, Tablets by Ramon LopezJuly 30, 2017Leave a Comment

SAMSUNG is aiming to give Apple’s iPad Pro a serious run for its money; hence, the release of the new Samsung Galaxy Book in the Philippines. It is priced at P44,990 (around $890) locally, which isn’t cheap, but neither is the hardware it is going up against.

12 smartphones in PH with batteries bigger than 4,000mAh

In Phones by Alora Uy GuerreroJuly 23, 2017Leave a Comment
