Incoming Price hike for Laptops? ASUS and ACER

Many Demand, Short Supplies, Price hike?

Is it not the best time as price hike will be rising pretty much soon due to silicon shortage and high demand?

as the global semiconductor shortage also has a massive effect on the amount of laptops that these companies can produce.

As 2020 Laptop sales went high during the Pandemic, where technology, electronic industry, which extends from components to end systems and products is one source of an average consumer needs

As COVID-19 Led to a new normal way of working from home and online classes, as Laptops are one of the main assets to the Average consumer that lead the manufacturers to catching up. Furthermore, components suppliers are already facing increasing pressure leading them to raise the prices of these part.

As ASUS and Acer Have seen the Growth on the Laptop market going a really positive approach, from 2020, that works are from home, schools online, and lockdowns are the trend thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

in 2021 we will expect laptop manufacturers to having hard times in supplies and the demands that are high,  both Acer and Asus are expected to raise the prices of notebooks in the second quarter of this year.

and due to semiconductor global shortages, this means a 5-10% possible increase of the laptops that will be available in the second half of 2021, while the supply is still catching up. Furthermore, components suppliers are already facing increasing pressure, leading them to raise the prices.

Is it the right time to buy a laptop?

Well. if you have an existing laptop that is still usable, or get on a second hand laptop that still fit by modern standard, is a second option, but waiting for the supplies to revert back to the original price might be a great solution

FOR COOLING THE LAPTOP HAS “proprietary HyperCool Pro technology” that consists of radiators and metal heat spreaders over the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRMs to keep core components below 90 C at all times. Perhaps more notably, the Scar II will carry additional heat pipes to cool its more powerful GTX 1070 GPU and it will likely weigh a bit more than the Hero II BUT COOLING IS WHAT MAKES THE LAPTOP STABLE.

some minimal redesign and another light bar on the front of the laptop.

ASUS K501 K401 Review

“CAPABLE THIN AND LIGHT MULTIMEDIA NOTEBOOK / BUDGET GAMING LAPTOP”

NOTICE: Asus K401 shares the same as K501

Asus bring thier product the K series as a budget multimedia/ gaming laptop in the market for only under 50,000

 This is the Asus K501LB under the k series mainly is aimed as an entry level notebook for consumers but now its a different story

for the case and build quality it is made out of aluminum and plastic which is present on the under belly screen hinge and the screen bezels Making the notebook more premium. color wise its gray black and has a dark blue on the lid overall it is excellent making the notebook sleeker stylish and overall durable in it’s build.

Opening the Lid is a full sized keyboard that can be an option for keyboard backlighting, So far the keys are great with 1.6mm of travel with slight mistypes during fast typing and making word documents except that the keys are cramped and the caps and Num Lock key has no led indication but on the status led there is only a caps led .

Trackpad is smooth and precise in terms of clicks and gestures but responsiveness is
good during daily use.
Lastly The quality of the palm rest is made out of metal / aluminum making it cool and sturdy.

The Asus K501 has a 15.6 inch 1080p matt display that has great viewing angles and good for outdoor use.
Colors is good but not for everyone as they distort from tilting and moving from side to side.
Webcam is a VGA camera with led indicator and mic

So fat it is not great it’s fuzzy and I wish ASUS Bumped the webcam to an HD resolution Despite it’s price range.

---

 

SPECS

CPU:

• Intel core i3-i7 broadwell processor (K501LB, K501LX, K401LB)
  I3-I7 Skylake processor ( K501UX, K501UB, K401UB) all are ULV cpus.

GPU:

• INTEL HD5500, INTEL HD 520
  NVIDIA GEFORCE 940M (UB,LB ) GTX 950M (LX, UX) GTX 960M (UQ)

Dimensions:

---

So our model has the CORE i5 5200u, NVIDIA GEFORCE 940M 8GB RAM 1TB HDD *NOW Kingston V300 SSD and an 802.11 bgn lan card

performance:
The i5 scored and the GPU scored in cinebench around 263CB and for geekbench for gaming the 940m can play up to medium detail with no vsync and as far as 1080p it is smooth as butter but for some games and productivity the laptop has some thermal throttling when underload whereas the warmest point on the screen hinge where the air blows out but its not too hot on the keyboard and palmrest.

speakers of the notebook is powered by sonic master so far it is great mid tones are excellent and bass is good as loudness goes its cool see for yourself but expect that other laptops are better sounding than the k501

Battery The K501 comes with a 3 cell battery that last for 4-5 or up to 6 hours of daily use brightness to 50% and battery set to balanced and power saver gaming expect only 1.5 hrs so far its not removable so removing it will void your warranty from disassembling the system.
Upgrades for this system ram HDD ssd lancard the fan has two option single or dual fan on the gtx 950m,gtx 960m and 940m (if ordered a dual cooling system part) so far is good it’s fairly quiet and gets a little loud when gaming and on idle.

so in conclusion the Asus k501 is a great laptop under 50k and great for students on the go and with an additional ssd drive up to 950m GPU with a 1080p display is it worth it yes but is it the best? that’s for you to decide the laptop cost around 37990 for my model and the top config will be around 50k pesos for the i7 with gtx 950m for another option for a 512gb ssd and a gtx 960M will be under 50,000 so store lins are here

INTEL’S 14TH GEN ULTRA GRAPHICS MIGHT BE THE BETTER ONES YET?

INTEL IS BACK in the igpu game?

At the end of the year, intel’s 14th gen CPU for laptops have a better approach in the upcoming ultra series chips with the core i name changed to Intel Core Ultra series
no core ultra 3, but withe the new versions of cpu coming in the year 2024
Acer unveiled their first core ultra laptop the ACER SWIFT GO 14,

and also Asus launched the Zenbook 14 OLED AI

Overview Core Ultra CPUs (source: Intel)

As what we can expect, intel using their ARC gpu’s, Intel might be onto something that with a better Igpu is better and to compete with AMD’s IGPU, however the graphics of the high end Core ultra 7’s Intel Arc 8-Cores iGPU is a bit close to the AMD 780m graphics.

The Intel Arc 8-Cores iGPU based on xe LPG architecture delivers a better graphics experience from older Iris xe graphics, making which its not far for Intel to bring a better version of their iGPU, moreover the Intel Core Ultra CPU comes with an NPU for AI.

Buying too good to be true price for gadgets in the Philippines a scam?

Low budget or Budget meal price can be a price to pay

In the Philippines, many gadgets that we always buy is low at best, as the Online e commerce and also on marketplaces leads to a deep dark secret.

as I am also interviewing my clients on their laptops and gadgets for repairs and how they got scammed. and how did I fact checked this concerns?
this graph tells the whole concerns, specifically also on a shop that is a trend like Powemac Center on that huge deal, and uses this to lure consumers, as in which its a fake account with no legitimacy as this will hurt the existing legitimate company, and scammers will celebrate.

being one of the most common trend of buy and sell, local and online as 54% are online scams and 46% on local, as scammers will set low price of 500 – 2000 on gadgets and also on laptops from premium at a random low price in Philippine peso range is a bargain, but scams do intend to take this effect as follows.

A. FRP lock/ Icloud / stolen units: units that are stolen or locked by owner often is being sold.

B. High bidders first: a new scam motive or bogus sellers will fool a buyer to meetup, but never came or blocked upon the designated area.

C. Parts missing and hidden issues: a typical scam of fooling buyers that the term ” no issues ” sold for cheap is more viable to be too good to be true.

D. Fooling buyers on warranty and refund: issue persist but the seller will ignore and can do a bad response.

E. Fake page : Copy paste from other post and creates an account on a popular store, or a page of promos that are too good to be true.

Ecommerce/Marketplace

Facebook marketplace is no 1 in this list for many transactions of gadgets at low or negotiated prices, as to what we can tell, many post from different unverified or some dummy accounts, gives a great sip of scam. Treating this social media as a social opportunity for scammers to fool consumers on some gadgets.

ONLINE TRANSACTIONS
On which buyers will transact a scammer to post a picture and description of a laptop, either stolen from other post, or already sold, whereas scammers will utilize a more professional approach of trust to the buyer as legitimate with proof of id and shipping, as buyers will use an online payment or money transfer on that said trust, but later on the day of shipment, the scammer will fool the buyer and blocked, or not responding to the said deal. This indicates that the money transferred is already gone to the scammer.

This partakes of Filipinos getting scammed for responding too quickly to the scammer’s demands, and also can be a threat.

How to prevent this problems are the following

1. Legitimacy – look for a verified check or on e shopping platforms that has a mall icon on every product, shopee mall or lazmall as an example.
2. Test before you buy – don’t rush and tech the unit, if the unit is good with no flaws, go for it, if there is an issue consider negotiate or walk away.
3. Cash on delivery – the safest way to transact is COD, if the scammer forces to do a cash transaction online, refuse and leave the chat.
4. Legit checking – this will provide peace of mind that the community will say their feedback and if it’s legit.
5. Compare prices – do note that lowest price is also not the best, if the price is too low or less than a bargain, ask the seller a video in real time, and an actual photo on the gadget.

Pro tip: Don’t buy too good to be true price on gadgets, as a consumer advise, do not fall for scams, and always check if its legit. Also don’t get scammed

Budget Gaming Laptop Under 50000 PHP ASUS TUF GAMING FX505series

GAMING AND PRODUCTIVITY UNDER THE BUDGET

INTRO:

LOOKING FOR A GAMING LAPTOP UNDER PHP PESO 50000 IS A GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY WITH DEDICATED GRAPHICS, BUT WITH 120HZ PANEL IS NOT COMMON UNTIL NOW.

THIS IS THE ASUS TUF GAMING FX505DY A GAMING LAPTOP WITH A 120HZ REFRESH RATE THAT BREAKS THE BOUNDERIES IN THE GAMING LAPTOP MARKET FOR JUST PHP 35995.00, BUT HOW IS THIS LAPTOP CAN BE COMPETITIVE?

PACKAGING

THE ASUS TUF GAMING IS THE BABY ROG, THAT INCLUDES THE BAG, DOCUMENTATION, UNIT, AND THE POWER CHORD AND BRICK.

DESIGN AND BUILD

FOR THE DESIGN, ASUS GAVE A SLEEK LOOK ON GOLD STEEL DESIGN THAT I DO PREFER IN A MORE MUTED FASHION THAT ASUS DID ALOT OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL SPECIALLY ON THE ASUS MIRRORED FINISH LOGO THAT ILLUMINATES IN GOLD

WITH THE MIL-810G STANDARD, THE LAPTOP IS DURABLE FROM ITS HARD PLASTIC CHASSY WITH AN ALUMINUM TOP COVER

OPENING UP THE DISPLAY GREETS A 1920*1080 PIXEL IPS DISPLAY THAT HAS A NANOEDGE TECHNOLOGY IN WHICH THE SIDE BEZEL IS DECREASED TO A WIDER 98% SCREEN TO BODY RATIO, THAT COMES WITH A 120HZ PANEL, GIVING BETTER VIEWING ANGLES AND PLEASURE TO WATCH VIDEOS AND PLAYING GAMES, WHILE DEVELOPERS AND CREATORS MIGHT FIND IT USEFUL, WHILE COLORS AND CONTRAST IS DECENT. BUT NO TOO PERFRCT

THE FULL HD 1080P WEBCAM ON TOP IS DECENT FOR ONLINE TASK, WHERE THE COLORS ARE OKAY, AND MICROPHONE QUALITY IS GOOD, FOR ENTRY-LEVEL STREAMING, AS THE WEBCAM IS NOT GOOD FOR POOR LIGHTING CONDITIONS.

THE KEYBOARD IS PRESENTABLE AND SPACIOUS, GIVING BETTER TACTILE FEEDBACK AND COMFORTABILITY, EVEN FOR ITS SHORT TRAVEL, THE WASD KEYS ARE TRANSLUCENT, PLUS THE AURA SYNC ON THE GOLD STEEL VARIANT IS FULL RGB AND CAN BE CONFIGURED ON THE TUF ARMOURY APP,

THE TRACKPAD HAS A MORE TARGET DESIGN, THAT GIVE BETTER PERSICION THANKS TO THE ASUS PERCISION DRIVER THAT FIVES THAT BUTTERY SMOOTH RESPONSE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PLASTIC, IT HAS A BONUS ON THE DESIGN LOOK

I/O ON THE OTHERHAND IS WHERE THE LAPTOP LACKS, ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE SECURITY LOCK, ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE DC POWER IN, ETHERNET PORT, HDMI. 3 SETS OF USB PORTS, AND THE COMBO AUDIO JACK, AS RIGHT HANDED USERS ARE COMFORDABLE IN USING THE LAPTOP COMPARED TO LEFT HANDED USERS WITH ALL THE PORTS ON THE LEFT SIDE, PLUS NO USB TYPE C NOR AN ADDITIONAL USB PORT AND AN SD CARD PORT.

LEFT: DC-IN, ETHERNET, 3X USB-A, COMBO AUDIO IN

RIGHT: SECURITY LOCK

SPECS: Our unit is on the base configuration where the price on the pictures are what we can expect, however due to price hike it was increased.

PERFORMANCE:

The fx505dy is a budget to the gaming laptop entry as it performs well, in some task, but the fx505dt has better advantage to the 1650’s better and more modern performance in the graphics part based on the chart.

For productivity the ryzen 5 3550H is compelling and useful for content creation, autocad, and other intensive workload on this laptop can conquer, however, the mix memory is one of the downside of AMD CPU’s that its not in favor of different memory type on speed, capacity, and cl as the memory on mixed config the red shows the fx505dy dipped a bit on the 20gb ram config compared to 16gb on the fx505dy, whereas the gtx 1650 is still king in the productivity and gaming.

Thermals is one key point loss for this laptop, as the performance is good, the warm keys are not too hot to the touch , where the temps are quite in a different pace where thermal throttle shows its slight percentage, as the laptops cooling system is not enough to cool the 2 chips, that one heat-pipe cools both chips and another for the GPU, as there are many spaces on the internals of the laptops.

• 

• 

where the silent fan mode is not too loud but useable for office, balanced mode gives the fans to ramp up and down randomly even on medium load, and turbo mode to maximize its speed that is audible when not using headphones to play games

Upgrades:

ssd: nvme pcie support only gen 3

ram: 2 slots

wifi: pci-e

hdd/ssd 2nd storage: 2.5 inch

Audio: Bottom facing and using DTS sound, the laptop speaker performs fine in terms of audio, as the bass is minimal, highs is louder and mids are subtle, whis is okay for casual media listening.

battery:

the 48wh battery Falls short in the battery runtime, given its high performance comes with a fair battery life as the wh battery rating is not enough if you need the juice to same more and to use the unit to almost 5-8 hrs of use that gives to say for the price that a better wh capacity will make a better chance to extend its hrs of use.

Conclusion, for under 50000.00 its okay to get the fx505dy if you want to play games and content creation while doing some work and school, but the fx505dt offers better value and better performance in graphics for your cup of coffee, overall its not the most perfect laptops out there but, the value for money gives this laptop a reasonable cause.

Start of a new Era for intel

Based on the cards that aims to be their first video card in history, in partner with two ecosystem partners, ASUS and Gunnir, this graphics card is based on a 10nm process with almost similar performance with the Nvidia GT1030, although this card has some compatibility to specific motherboards for enterprise pc’s. due to shortage and high rates of Graphics cards, and scalpers, the DG1 is not nearly to be a gamer’s gaming machine tool, since the card is passively cooled, the specification is pretty much close

specs

80 execution units (EUs)

640 shading units

4GB of LPDDR4X-4266

128-bit interface,

1,500 MHz boost clock speed

30W power

From GamersNexus video, it shows that the DG1 is very well placed in between  the GT1030 non GDDR5 and GT1030 GDDR5

However the graphics card is bundled on the $749.99 CyberPowerPC gaming system, that pricing is dependent, but the hopes of GD2 is quite high and To believe intel will be also compete in the graphics card market soon enough.
