Gamers love to play and they want to have the best gaming experience using their gadgets. Many gaming laptops are available in the market but they are really expensive. A lot of gamers would like to know how they can own a gaming laptop. But first, what constitute a gaming laptop?
The basic concept that we have to know is their spec or specification which usually involve the processor. There are two leading processor brands today, AMD and Intel. Gamers prefer AMD because of their graphic cards which are better than intel. However, according to online reviews and feedbacks from users, Intel performs faster and better than AMD. Quad Core AMDs are more expensive compared to Intel. The good news is that there are laptops which integrate Intel with Nvidia Graphic cards and ATI.
Why GPU/ Graphic Processing Unit is important?
Some players want to enjoy their gaming time by seeing detailed terrain and surroundings in game. However, laptops with high end GPUs are expensive compared to integrated cards of intel. If you are contented with substantial graphic display which is clear and not pixilized, Intel HD 3000 is sufficient. Intel i5 and intel i7 are cheaper if they only have their integrated graphic cards. But if you have so much money, buy AMD quadcore with high end GPU. AMD's radeon 7340 is similar with HD 3000, so if there's a higher gpu but still cheap buy it. But do not sacrifice the processor speed over the graphics if you do not want to experience pinging.
A 3 GB RAM is enough if you have a tight budget
If you cannot afford a 6 GB RAM settle to 3 or 4 GB RAM, it is sufficient for gaming as long as you will not open 5 high end games at a time. With 3 GB, I can play cabal and dragon nest games simultaneously without any problem. I believe that 8 and above GB RAM is needed if the processor is slow so that the number of memory would balance "slowness" of the processor.
Intel I and AMD A6 are good for gaming
Intel pentium b9s(b950-b980) are not good for gaming despite their high frequency (according to an article I read before.)
By the way, update for 7/29/13: Intel i3-3210M with HD4000 is a good investment. I bought it last June and it worked perfectly fine like intel i5. It is fast and the graphic is good and the price is cheap.
Another note from gamers: If you really want to play games, buy desktop. Desktops are cheaper yet many offer high end gaming experience. However, it's really bulky and you cannot bring it to school or office to brag about it.

Buy Laptops within your Budgets
There are a so many laptops in the market today and it is hard to look for one that suit us the best. Many reviews and websites would recommend expensive laptops which we cannot afford. Now, what specs and features do we really need in a laptop? Do we really need the expensive intel i7, i5 and high Graphic Cards (GPUs)? Do you really need the expensive specs and features?
I noticed that many buyers would usually want to buy the expensive processors despite the fact that they really do not need it. For example, a friend of mine bought an intel i5 laptop but she does not really play games nor surf the net. She just use it to encode and print documents. Now, what is the moral lesson? Do not buy high end laptops because it has turbo boost or other features if you do not really need them. Buy laptops according to your need.
1. Buy laptops according to your need- This is my first tip, before thinking of buying a new laptop, ask your self this question first: For what purpose will I buy a new laptop? Is it for gaming, surfing, or simply encoding and making school or office presentation? Your purpose for buying a new laptop will help you determine the specs that you need.
If you will use your laptop to make reports: such as using the document, spreadsheet, powerpoint, and you need to surf the net for a few hours, a low spec laptop is sufficient. When I say low spec, it means buying laptop with processors which are not intel i3, i5, i7quad core or AMD Quad cores. Processors such as Intel pentium dual core and AMD E series with 1.5 to 2 frequency is sufficient. You will not be needing the so-called multi threading and hyperthreadings. Dual core processors like pentium and e series are fast enough and can handle your activity. My sister's intel pentium dual core with 1.8 frequency is fast enough. It can download and upload songs and files fast, and I can browse the internet without lagging. I can also play simple games such as plants versus zombies, zuma, crystal legacy, and all other simple games. You do not need any dedicated video cards or high end graphic cards.
Thus, if you are not a gamer or a multitasker, you do not need to buy expensive laptops. Laptop below P20,000 and P15,000 ($450 or $300) is enough for you.
If you love demanding games like cabal, dragon nest, lineage, or other MMORPG games, you will need a high end laptop with a nice video card. I used to play dragon nest and cabal with my destroyed toshiba i5 with HD 3000 graphics. The graphics is good enough for me, its clear and it does not lag except when our internet connection is so slow. I think if you really want to play these games you really do not need a high end, super expensive GPU because what is really important in these online games is the fact that it does not lag or it does not ping. For me its alright as long as you can see your character, terrain, enemy, and the other characters clearly. If you really want a high def display, buy a desktop not a laptop. I read many post in the internet that gamers prefer AMD because of their GPU. They say that intel's HD graphics is not good enough, well HD 3000 is good enough for dragon nest and big fish games in its high setting. I do not care if I cannot see the lines and ribs of a leaf or the tiny details in the hair of the monster that I am slaying, as long as I level up and become strong. So, my best tips for gamers, if you have to choose between nice graphics or fast processing- go for processing. Seeing a non HD game is better than waiting for it to load for a long time. So, I recomment intel i5, i7, or i3 (if you have no budget) all of them have HD 3000. You can buy a lot of laptops below P25,000 ($581) which are good for gaming. Take note that these Prices are brand new, if you want second hands then you can buy laptops below P20,000 whith i5 processors. Of course it is different in the United States, they can buy gaming laptops for $300 or less.
For those who does multitasking works which require them to open multiple tabs and applications, buy i7 laptops or quad core laptops to avoid pinging and to avoid the tabs from closing by itself. Quad cores will make the changing of one window to another faster. When I say multiple tabs, I refer to those who opens more than 25 windows at a time. Choose those with turbo boost and hyper threading, never mind the graphic cards except if you do photoshops and photo editing which requires an HD display.
2. Check the RAM- Now that you know what kind of processor you want to use: whether mild, medium, or high speed, you also need to know what RAM to use. For mild users, those who do not multitask or play high end games, 2 GB Ram is enough. In fact, a 1 GB DDR2 is sufficient already if you will only encode and print documents. For gamers, 3 GB RAM is enough (I'm sure), I played bought Cabal online and Dragon nest at the same time with 3gb Ram and with intel i5 second generation. There was no problem swithching windows. They say that the more RAM, the better, yes ofcourse it is but if you are in a tight budget, you do need extra RAM. Multi taskers and gamers can be happy with a 4 GB RAM, as long as you have a fast processor like i3 to i7. Buy higher RAM if your processor has a low frequency to balance its speed.
3. Hard Disk Memory- If you have no other computer at home and you do a lot of documents, choose 500 and above GB HDD. If your laptop is just a back up or you just need it so that you can bring it in school, HDD with 320 GB and below is enough.
4. Durability - Before buying a laptop, check the product reviews in the internet. There might be some defects like heating when used for gaming or like the battery is not long lasting.
5. Battery- If you are using your laptop in the office, you only need a 4 cell battery since your laptop is always plugged. If you love to stay in public places to use their free wifi choose those with 6 cell battery. But it would be best to buy a router or apply to internet plans for your home.

Saving money is Earning Money part 1
It has been about two months since I updated my blog, well my laptop was really damaged that a new motherboard is needed. I decided to buy a new one despite the fact that I love that laptop. I intend to buy a motherboard in the future because I want to revive it.
Anyway, my article today is to help my readers realize the importance of saving money. Of course all of you know that it is a good habit to save money. If you know how to save money, you will earn more by cutting the reason why you spend money. Saving money is not just about not buying what is unnecessary or not using credit cards. It's more than the actual cash itself.
So here are few tips on how to save money:
1. Save money by avoiding wasting of food. Last week, I read an article about food wastage. According to the article, hundreds if not millions of tons of food are being thrown in the garbage. Millions of dollars are just thrown into the garbage. So, why am I saying this? It is time for all of us to stop and think more about wasting food.
When you go to restaurants and fast food chains, do you finish all your food or do you just throw them away? Everytime I go to fastfood chains like MCdo, Jollibee, and many more, I noticed that almost all tables which full of uneaten food. The fastfood crew will just put them in a container and throw them away. These people will spend $50 on their order and half of it will be thrown away.
Now, for you to earn more money you need to cut your budget in buying food whether from the super market or from the restaurants. (This tip is ofcourse obvious but some do not realize this fact.) Buy small amount of food that you can finish. If you are buying bulk purchases, research ways in proper storing to avoid it from spoiling. Do not just throw them away. Imagine buying a kilo of cabbage worth $3, you forgot to eat it and when you discovered it, its already spoiled. So, you throw away $3 from your pocket. In buying
Also, in eating dinner outside, order small amounts if you are not hungry. And if you are hungry, start by ordering a few dish and if it is insufficient by another small dish. This way, it is sure that you can finish it and you will end up buying what you need. Imagine buying a large meal for $20, then you were not able to finish it and ate only a half of it. Its like throwing away $10!
My point is, waste not. Do not buy excessive food only to throw it away. Learn how to store food properly and buy only those which you can consume.
By saving on food, you are also saving the planet. It is because the plastic containers used in these food are being thrown away and they tend to add more garbage problem. Also the energy used in producing them is high. Cows, chickens, and fertilizers are used in making food. Cows and chickens produce dungs and these dungs produce carbon gases. Imagine thousands of cows, chickens, and pigs producing these things, how many carbon dioxide are produced? Because of high demand of these animals, producers would raise more of these to meet the demand. However, half of the so called demand goes to the trash bins.
