Is this the cheapest Windows 10 laptop in PH?

In Laptops by Ramon LopezJuly 17, 2017Leave a Comment

IT could very well be true. The Sparc S1 Techbook is now available on Lazada Philippines, and it’s going for P4,999 (about $98) for a limited time. Its original price is P5,499 ($108), which is still crazy low considering the Techbook is a full-fledged Windows 10 laptop with what looks like — gasp! — backlit keys. If you’re looking to spend a little more money and you’re in demand of a computer which has a high specification to ensure that you’re able to do anything? I would look into the 13 in gaming ultrabook specs to see if these meet your personal requirements.

Sony Xperia XA1 review: Don’t sleep on this Sony

In Phones by Ramon LopezJuly 4, 2017Leave a Comment

FOR the past couple of years, Sony has come out with so many flagship smartphones that it’s easy to forget it still cares about its midrange game. In the previous months alone, the Xperia XZ, XZs, and XZ Premium have, in that order, rotated as the face of the Japanese firm’s Android efforts — possibly to the detriment of lesser phones that arguably offer more bang for the buck.
