Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13

Xiaomi recently announced a full powerhouse notebook; but, if that’s too much for casual usage, you can just get last year’s Mi Notebook Air 13. It’s got a 13-inch 1080p IPS display, Intel Core i5 processor, dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 940MX graphics unit, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, and a nice set of ports like HDMI and USB-C. The catch, however, is the Chinese language of its Windows 10 operating system, but you can easily get a fix for that online.

Xiaomi Mi 6

The Mi 6 is a flagship offering from Xiaomi. It offers the best mobile processor currently available in a sleek stainless steel body. The phone also has dual rear cameras with 2x optical zoom, just like other expensive phones out there. During our time with the Mi 6, we liked its premium build and smooth performance. Xiaomi phones are for power users after all.

Xiaomi Mi A1

We were so glad to see Xiaomi’s first Android One offering! You can never go wrong with an Android One phone: clean Android UI, no bloatware, monthly security patches, and two years of software updates. Pair that with Xiaomi’s well-balanced pricing for great performance and a quality build — a definite winner!

ASUS ZenFone Max Plus (M1) gets a price cut

The affordable phone just got cheaper

Published

June 3, 2018

Daniel Morial

Just as we’re expecting ASUS to launch the new ZenFone Max Pro in the Philippines, they gave their other ZenFone Max variant a price cut. This makes it more affordable and one of the best cheaper options for budget-oriented consumers.

The ZenFone Max Plus (M1) had its suggested retail price dropped to PhP 9,995 from PhP 11,995 when it got launched. The so-called “Battery King” is ASUS’ first 18:9 phone announced back in January.

To entice consumers more about the price cut, ASUS is also raffling off three JBL T450BT headphones. Simply share and like ASUS’ post on their Facebook page from June 1 until June 15.

The ZenFone Max Plus (M1) boasts a large 4130mAh battery that’s claimed to last for up to 26 days in standby mode. It also has dual rear cameras, 4GB of memory, 32GB of expandable storage.

Planet Cable offers bundled 3Mbps unlimited broadband for PhP 674

Unlimited internet!

Published

June 2, 2018

Planet Cable might have the cheapest broadband plan available in the Philippines. And before you guys rant about throttling and data caps, they only offer unlimited internet. The catch, as always, is the coverage area.

If you are looking to install fixed broadband at your place, you might want to check out Planet’s latest offers. Too bad they only offer their residential broadband plans bundled with their existing cable subscription.

The cheapest available plan has a monthly service fee of PhP 674 which includes a Lite Cable plan with 36 SD channels and 3Mbps unlimited internet. Not bad, right? If you want slightly faster speeds, a 5Mbps bundled plan is priced at PhP 824/month while a 10Mbps bundled plan goes for PhP 1,324/month.

The best value would be the 20Mbps bundled plan for PhP 1,699/month. It’s considerably cheaper than PLDT or Globe’s 20Mbps fiber plan, plus it also comes with a cable subscription. It doesn’t beat Converge’s FiberX 1500 plan that has 25Mbps speed, though.

Planet Cable’s coverage is pretty limited in select areas of Antipolo, Cavite, Batangas, Iloilo, and Laguna. It’s best to contact them first through their Facebook page or website.
