SSD nga muna! I saw the Samsung at Lazada and price is just 1k higher than the 8GB RAM.

To make your life easier, make sure meron kang USB external hard disk enclosure you can use so the cloning can go smoothly. Afterwards, you can use your old hard disk like an external drive.

This will work

Malaki difference ng IPS and VA panels in terms of color reproduction and viewing angles (less color shift if viewed from an angle). TN panels are normally better for twitch gaming because of slightly less ghosting and faster response times.

If you notice yung mga Apple iphone/ipad screens look 'vibrant' and 'bright' compared to your old 10 year old LCD monitor? Those devices use IPSs while most of the cheap/budget monitors use TN. There are some high end TN panels din which have good color reproduction and less color shift at an angle, pero most are marketed towards gamers for the fast response times.

You can get a Lenovo Ideapad 310/320 for 30k or less, unless habol mo talaga yung OS

11" laptops are good for travel though, but not good for work hehe (which is why I have to lug around a 15.4" one).

Yes some models got the IPS panel here. I got one late last year.

Crucial MX500

All 3 should come with cloning software, so all you need to do is to hook up the SSD to a USB to SATA drive dongle or external hard disk enclosure (sold separately) and clone the device BEFORE you swap.

Can vouch for crucial. 2 of my ssd's are from them. 750gb mx300 and 128gb m4.

Nice. Where, and how much did you get it for?

Parang pahirapan maghanap ng higher end models dito sa pinas.

I got mine at Dell SM Megamall sir.

Paid 74k for an i7 7700HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX1050Ti, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD and 1080p IPS panel.

It should be cheaper now since the newer models have arrived.
