We use our laptops every day to produce content, write reports, and complete school papers. Unlike our smartphones though, laptops weren’t able to keep up with the trend of colorful finishes. That’s why Avita wants to shake things up and introduce their own laptops that come in a number of colors.

The Avita Liber is the first model from the new laptop brand in the Philippines. They will be offering two versions of its Liber laptop.

The first one is a 14-inch variant that’s powered by a seventh-gen Intel Pentium processor paired with 4GB DDR3 memory and 128GB SSD. The display panel is already an IPS LCD with a Full HD resolution, plus it’s got plenty of ports including a USB-C, two full-sized USB 3.0, mini-HDMI, and a microSD card reader.

This Avita Liber’s base model is priced at PhP 19,990 which makes it an attractive choice for students.

If you wish to have a more powerful laptop, the 13.3-inch variant will come in both eighth-gen Intel Core i5 and Core i7 configurations. It also has faster 8GB DDR4 memory and a bigger 256GB SSD. Additionally, the 13.3-inch model has a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello.

Price starts at PhP 54,990 for the Core i5 model, while the Core i7 notebook is priced at PhP 64,990.

The Avita Liber notebooks will be available exclusively through Octagon Computer Superstore across the country by early December.

For those who are not familiar with Avita, the consumer lifestyle brand has been around since 2016 and it originated in the USA from a former R&D and branding team of Radio Corporation of America, or simply known as RCA. The brand is now owned by Hong Kong-based Nexstgo Company Limited. Currently, the brand has designated service centers located in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao.

Avita is available in neighboring countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. You may visit Avita’s local website to know more about the young brand.

The Googlebook is the next evolution of the Chromebook

Notebooks are coming later this year.

Chromebooks did not become the go-to alternative for laptop users on a budget. Given how the market looks today, it could have been a matter of “right place, wrong time.” Today, Google is trying again with the new Googlebook lineup.

The Googlebook is different from the Chromebook. Though both platforms allow Android apps to run natively, the Googlebook will focus more on building a foundation on Gemini Intelligence.

Of course, the Android ecosystem is still a focal point. The Googlebook can run apps from the ecosystem and can connect seamlessly with Android phones. Specifically, users can access their phone’s apps and files directly from the notebook without waiting for transfers.

As for the Gemini part, the Googlebook starts by reinventing the cursor. The new Magic Pointer brings the wonder of Gemini to your mouse. A wiggle of the cursor wakes the software, which contextualizes anything it’s pointed to. For example, pointing at a date will ask you if you want to schedule a meeting. Pointing at two photos might merge the two into an AI-generated mashup.

Additionally, Create a Widget will allow you to customize software to perfectly tailor to your needs. Using Gemini, the Googlebook can collate everything you need on your dashboard.

Currently, there are no official models set to come out just yet. However, Google has confirmed that Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo have committed to bringing out the Googlebook this fall. Naturally, each of these brands will have their own take on lineup, but the one thing uniting them will be a unique glowbar to set them apart from other notebooks.
