My New Asus Netbook


I've been putting off buying a new laptop for the longest time since I'm still saving up enough money to purchase something in cash instead of relying again on my credit card. Unfortunately, that I had to do last week because my netbook died on me. I've had my computer since 2010 so the battery really needed to be replaced. The only reason why I was still able to use it was because I always had it plugged. I felt kinda sad and anxious when it wouldn't turn on because it happened at a time when there's so much work to be done. I had deadlines here and there. But it served its purpose for 5 years so I had to let it go :( . 

I borrowed my nephew's laptop to be able to work while waiting for the new lappie I bought at Lazada Philippines. I didn't really need a very sophisticated laptop, just something that can do enough. My order arrived after 2 days, on a Sunday. I didn't know that Lazada delivered on Sundays so this was another feather on their cap. Anyway, my black Asus X102BA-DF040H 2GB AMD A4-1200 10.1" Touchscreen netbook is working just fine. Here are some of its specifications:

2GB RAM and 500 GB HDDGraphics

Additional Information:

P.S.   I bought this for only Php 13,499 (inclusive of VAT) plus free shipping (such a steal!).
