I don’t think you can call this post a gadget review. I’m just showing off the replacement of my Toshiba with a broken screen. Remember my broken laptop? The cracks became black spots and those black spots spread like disease until I couldn’t see anything.
In addition, the Globe Tattoo connection at home (formerly “the shop”) just sucks. My internet connection is sooo slow, I’m having a hard time blogging with my desktop computer.
I just have to have a laptop so I can work here at my parents house across the street through their PLDT wifi.
Before buying this brand, I browsed the net and did my research. This Acer Aspire E1-472G costs around P35,000 which I decided to pay at 0% for 12 months..LOL!

Good to hear that sis. I’m not into a laptop thingy, but need to buy this for my two children. They really ask this because not that we have an argument using my PC, but they also need it in their school
Peachy @ Peach And Things says
I think kids nowadays do need laptops for school use.

Wow! You’re so lucky you got a LTE Wifi Pocket for free! Acer is a trusted brand and I love the specs of this laptop. It’s great that you got it at 1 year to pay 0% interest!

I really think I got a good deal with this..
Marvin says
Hmmm. The price in Acer Cebu Branch was much more cheaper. I bought this same laptop for P31,500 only (Cash..) plus free laptop bag/case (same bag you posted), 1 wireless mouse (worth P450), and 1 headset (worth P250).
But, I though both were good deals.
nadine says
Wow I think you got a good deal with that, acer is pretty trustworthy too <3 I have a netbook and I'm hoping on getting a new one maybe this December!
