Ever saw the movie The Holiday (2006)?Remember when Iris (Kate Winslet) and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) switched houses? One of them was from England and the other was from LA, they both wanted to escape from their life in the city and seek comfort some place they've never been. While finding a hotel seems like the usual option, imagine going on a vacation, but...
Out on a Monday Date going to the computer store. That's actually how the geeks spend the night out, if you're wondering.
We recently got matching laptops (SURPRISE! You probably don't know that yet). The Acer B115 TravelMate sounded like the best ultraportable notebook PC we could get in its size. (BEE-BOOP! GEEK ALERT!) Everything else came in 2-core CPUs, and we were lucky to find these Acers that were at least quad-core. Another thing I liked was that I could still upgrade the RAM. Flexibility is always good. This is very rare among small notebooks.
Here's the catch: It came with Windows 8.1. Newer isn't always better. #WindowsUsersWouldKnow
It hogs the RAM like crazy! Launching a few tabs on Google Chrome alone can put the PC in an unusable LAGGY state. It kills me. Both my PC at work and at PC(laptop) are up to par and this baby just could NOT keep up.
We decided to head on over to Silicon Valley were we got these PCs and had a 4GB memory installed. Boo-freakin-yea. Luckily, they have an in-house computer service centre partner, CompuServe, so installing upgrades is part of our warranty.
If you are still one of the few who uses netbooks/ultraportable notebooks who experiences lag and slow downs, you can bring them over to Silicon Valley in Glorietta (4th Flr, New Glorietta) and have them look if they can upgrade it. Just ask the kuyas over there, "Can you upgrade the RAM on this?" and they will help you through.
It usually comes in 2, 4 and 8GB(?) variants. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me through the comments below or through email.
All the best!

If you have been reading my blog, you probably already know how much I love Uber. I've been using it religiously since around October last year and I can stand by my words that I find their services outstanding.It made me very upset when the LTFRB started to pick on Uber few months back. I use Uber everyday going to work and going...

New Look![/caption] I have started blogging way back in 2008, which doesn't seem too far ago but when you think about it, that's about 7 years ago. I cannot believe it!!! I usually keep my blogs to myself, and if you haven't noticed I'm trying to keep my profile here on Nitpickle "anonymous" (well, except to my friends who found pictures here of...
Xiaomi now jumps into the action camera bandwagon and released their latest product, the Yi Action Camera.Yi Action Camera which claims to be EVEN better than the entry-level GoPro camera at LESS THAN half the price at 64USD(approx. PHP2,800 w/o tax and duties).When Xiaomi came into the smartphone scene with a Xiaomi Mi3, with a device comparable to Samsung's then flagship, Galaxy S5, having a...
I'm not a fan of accessories. I've grown to dislike them because 1) I lose rings and earrings like bobby pins. Seriously. 2) I can't wear disposable fancy(fake) ones because I've got the curse of sweaty hands. And my ears won't let me get away with it either.But can you resist these adorable ones? ...
