What gadget can you buy with Php25K?
Several devices actually come to mind – an iPhone, an iPad 3 (WiFi only), a decent Android phone, a netbook, or if you want, even a Core i3 Windows 7 laptop.
Core i7 laptop with Windows 7 for Php25K? Impossible?
Possible! This is all thanks to Acer and their new laptop treat for pinoys, the Acer Aspire E1. This lappy boasts of a 14-inch CineCrystal HD LED-backlit display with a 2.2GHz Intel Core i3 processor under the hood, 2GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD, and your choice of Windows 7 Home Basic or Linux as its OS.
SRP of the Acer Aspire E1 with Windows 7 Home Basic is Php24,900, making this baby one of the more, if not the most, affordable Windows 7-preinstalled Core i3 laptop in the Philippines.
Good job, Acer! You may not be winning any awards as of late, but your pricing for the Aspire E1 is definitely a winning move in my book.
Oh, and before I forget, there’s a Linux variant too, going for just Php22,400.
