Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Gear Up and find the perfect learning companion with up to 35% Discounts and Special bundles in this limited-time event.

Now is the perfect time to score or upgrade to an MSI Laptop as the world-leading tech brand holds its Back to School event in line with their 20th Anniversary. This event, running from August 1 to September 30, 2024 is packed with price drops and gift bundles to delight all potential buyers.

In this day and age, a digital companion is as much a need as it is a want. Staying connected, entertained, and productive are important factors of a student’s daily life and an MSI laptop is a perfect investment for this. Here is a quick buying guide to get the most out of this limited-time campaign.

It’s not just one of the most powerful gaming handhelds in the market, the MSI Claw is also perfectly capable of assisting students with their learning needs. Powered by Windows, it can easily be used as a mini-PC when docked and paired with the right peripherals.

The top-end Claw A1M-077PH is powered by the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 155H with built-in Intel® Arc™ Graphics and an SSD storage of 1TB. Built mainly for gaming, this beastly configuration can easily handle most of the student workloads and applications.

Not only is it space-efficient with its handheld form-factor, but it can easily be expandable with its Thunderbolt™ 4 slot. WIth the right dock such as the MSI Nest, you can plug in all the peripherals you need to work comfortably.

For this Back to School event, this version of the Claw is made even more affordable with a price drop of P6,000, bringing the price from P53,995 to P47,995.

The more modest Claw A1M-076PH gets a price drop as well from P50,996 to 42,995. This model retains the same Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 155H but swaps the 1TB SSD with a 512GB one. Aside from that, the other specifications are the same.

For the best deal on this handheld, the base version Claw A1M-075PH is one of the most attractive deals right now. This configuration is powered by an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 135H and has a 512GB SSD, still very capable for most learning applications. Get this premium gaming and learning device at its lowest market price of P34,995, down from P45,995.

For the perfect balance of performance and portability, a laptop is still the best form factor and undeniably the most-used by students. MSI offers a wide range of laptops from Desktop-replacements to ultra-thin Business & Productivity notebooks.

One of the highlights of the Back to School offer is making these great devices more affordable for the customer. Consider the GF63 Thin 11UCX-1479PH.

This is the best budget gaming laptop you can get in this event. Get it at its lowest-ever price at only P29,495, down from P42,995.

For even more affordable devices, we look at the Modern 14 C11M-080PH, 219PH, and 220PH. These are the aforementioned Business & Productivity laptops from MSI. They are targeted at students who want maximum portability and battery life.

These ultra-thin and ultra-light notebooks are powered by an Intel® Core™ i3-1115G4 Processor and Intel® UHD Graphics. These are good for light gaming, but they shine the most at productivity apps that students and young professionals use.

These are the perfect companions for studying at a coffee shop or lounging around with Netflix. These are down from P26,995 to only P20,995. Get these beautiful laptops in three different colorways: Beige Rose (220PH), Classic Black (080PH), and Urban Silver (219PH).

One of the sleekest looking laptops from MSI is its Cyborg 15 series. Our recommendation is the Cyborg 15 A12UCX-1298PH. This laptop is powered by an Intel® Core™ i5-12450H and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2050 4GB GDDR6 Laptop GPU.

The biggest draw of this series is the translucent chassis, giving it a very cyberpunk aesthetic that is unique and eye-catching. Be ready to catch the attention of your peers when you bring out this laptop inside your classroom. To complete the look is its bright Blue Backlit Gaming Keyboard with specially lit WASD keys.

Get this intricately detailed laptop at only P37,995, down from P40,995, plus a Mouse and Mousepad bundle worth P2,000.

Brought about by the collaboration of two brands on the pinnacle of innovation, MSI and Mercedes-AMG, this powerhouse delivers great performance without sacrificing any portability with its use of Magnesium-Aluminum alloy chassis. This makes the laptop very sturdy and light at the same time.

Luxury is the name of the game and this model doesn’t cut any corners when providing the ideal gaming experience. Powered by an Intel® Core™ i9-13900H Processor and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070GB GDDR6 Laptop GPU, it can play the latest triple-A games with ease.

It is packed with 32GB (16GB*2) of RAM and 2TB of NVMe SSD Gen4x4 storage. A 16” UHD+ OLED Panel delivers crisp graphics and the Per-Key RGB SteelSeries Gaming Keyboard ensures maximum customization. No compromises were made in this laptop.

Digido integrates QR Ph through bolstered partnership with Dragonpay

Digido integrates QR Ph through bolstered partnership with Dragonpay

Tuesday, July 30, 2024

The integration enables Digido clients to use a QR Ph code for cash loan payments and quickly repay their outstanding loans by scanning or uploading a static or reusable QR Ph code through a wide range of electronic wallets or banking apps.

Recognizing Filipinos’ growing need for seamless payment experiences, multi-awarded digital lending service Digido announces the integration of QR Ph — part of its bolstered partnership with online payment gateway Dragonpay.

The integration enables Digido clients to use a QR Ph code for cash loan payments and quickly repay their outstanding loans by scanning or uploading a static or reusable QR Ph code through a wide range of electronic wallets or banking apps. This facilitates open banking and financial inclusion, ensuring seamless and stress-free transactions within minutes.

Under BSP Circular No. 1055, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas requires all participating payment service providers, including banks and non-bank electronic money issuers (EMIs), to adopt QR Ph, also referred to as the National QR Code Standard. Aside from ensuring the safety, reliability and efficiency of operations of payment systems, having a national QR standard has transformed the fragmented QR-driven payment services in the country into interoperable payment solutions.

Commenting on the integration of QR Ph, Digido business development manager Rose Arreco said: “This initiative gives our clients much more flexibility when using their cash loans as well as facilitating positive loan repayment behavior. The growing trust and preference for digital channels, including lending, should be met with integrations like these to increase access to timely financing options.”

"With the integration of QR Ph, this partnership highlights Dragonpay's commitment to expanding digital payment access, aligning seamlessly with Digido's mission to ensure underserved Filipinos gain safe and inclusive entry into the nation's digital financial ecosystem," Dragonpay founder and CEO Robertson Chiang added.

Digido clients can monitor the Repayment section of the platform’s official website as well as its official Facebook and Instagram pages for step-by-step procedures on using QR Ph as a loan repayment option.

Digido offers a First Loan For Free service, where first-time borrowers can avail up to PHP 4,000 with 0% interest and a standard Personal Loan up to PHP 25,000 for repeat clients. It can be accessed through its official site digido.ph, its apps in Google Play and the iOS App Store, and Lazada Loans.

Discover your kids' digital artistic skills with Basecamp’s ‘Creativity Camp’ workshop series

Monday, March 25, 2024

Kids and teens nowadays exhibit remarkable proficiency in digital technology. Their natural adaptability and early exposure to screens significantly contribute to their digital fluency. To nurture their skills further, Power Mac Center (PMC), through its official training arm Basecamp, has launched Creativity Camp: Workshop for Kids & Teens. 

The primary goal of the program is to empower young learners and foster their digital creativity and critical thinking skills. Creativity Camp provides engaging and age-appropriate digital courses covering topics such as digital art, calligraphy, coding, 3D design, and graphic design, as well as non-digital courses focused on painting and drawing. These training sessions are scheduled to commence in April and continue until July, welcoming children aged 6 to 15.

“Basecamp blends digital and non-digital skills, offering valuable educational experiences for kids and teens during their school break. Whether they’re delving into coding, creating digital art, or honing their painting and drawing techniques, these workshops cultivate a diverse learning environment. We invite parents to enroll their kids and teenagers in any of our workshops to not only enhance their technical abilities but also deepen their appreciation for creativity and self-expression,” said Maleng Raysag, Basecamp’s head.

Artistry Unleashed: iPad Edition

Young creators will embark on an exhilarating journey into the world of digital art using iPads. Unleash your kid’s artistic potential with the “Draw and Share on iPad” course. This program enables kids and teens to make digital art and craft impactful posters with meaningful messages. Meanwhile, “Calligraphy on iPad” will help young artists refine their handwriting skills so they can merge calligraphy’s timeless elegance with modern technology.

Does your grade schooler enjoy discovering new apps? Why not teach them to code their own? “Code and Play with Hopscotch on iPad” is an engaging workshop tailored for young learners, allowing them to have fun while honing essential coding abilities.

Honing digital skills using Mac

Creativity Camp also offers “3D Art on Mac,” allowing kids and teens to transform their ideas into 3D masterpieces. By the end of the sessions, they will have developed the discipline and expertise to produce remarkable three-dimensional visuals.

Explore the realm of graphic design with the “Canva Graphics on Mac” program. Whether your kid is creating for educational endeavors or personal projects, this workshop ensures that the design process is both captivating and enjoyable. Enroll your teen in the “Code and Create on Mac” workshop and watch them learn to spearhead their own coding projects.

Non-digital prowess

If your kids yearn for a more traditional and hands-on creative experience, look no further than Creativity Camp. Basecamp offers two exciting workshops that will spark your child’s imagination.

Kids can enroll in the “Coffee Painting” workshop, where they’ll explore their artistic side using this unconventional and eco-friendly medium. As they create, they’ll be enveloped in the rich aromas of coffee, adding an extra layer of sensory delight to their artistic journey.

Meanwhile, the “3D Pen Magic” program employs seemingly magical pens to transform kids’ two-dimensional drawings into cool, original three-dimensional objects.

Creativity Camp courses are priced at P5,500 per student per course. Each course spans four days, with two-hour sessions each day. Additionally, Basecamp also offers a package deal priced at P15,000 per student, which includes any three courses, with a total duration of 12 days, maintaining the same two-hour sessions each day.

Galaxy all the way: Users share why they love Samsung for its 25th year in the Philippines

Galaxy all the way: Users share why they love Samsung for its 25th year in the Philippines

Wednesday, September 27, 2023

Looking back 25 years ago, many technological evolutions today were unimaginable. Fast forward to 2023, where digital and technological ecosystems allow us to operate efficiently, capture and create content, watch our favorite shows, and connect with the world, all in one ecosystem.

As a global tech leader, Samsung has been at the forefront of providing revolutionary, cutting-edge innovation. From appliances to premium mobile devices, tablets and smartwatches, Samsung has provided an unceasing commitment to creating technology that has transformed the lives of Filipinos. Here are some stories from loyal #TeamGalaxy members as they look back fondly on their very first encounter and where they are now with Samsung.

The OG content creation phone since the early 2010s trend

Mark started his Samsung journey in the early 2010s with the Galaxy Note2 and loved it for its large-screen viewing and gaming experience. This was quickly followed by the Samsung Edge series – the Galaxy S7 Edge for its content creation capabilities, seamless multipurpose features, and the Samsung Gear 360 camera for what we now call travel vlogs.

“I used the Samsung S7 Edge and Gear 360 for hiking, travel vlogs and travel photos with my friends. I practiced photography then and used both Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Gear 360 for content creation,” he recalled.

Today, he is still a loyal Galaxy fan with his Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S8 and a Samsung Smart monitor M7 that can be easily integrated into Samsung DeX Mode, which allows users to have a PC-like experience by connecting their gadgets to an external device, Mark now aims to complete the Samsung ecosystem. “I could use it for work on accounting and bookkeeping, and quickly consume content by switching to social media. Hopefully, in the future, I will also make my life easier at home by buying the SmartThings products by Samsung.”

The go-to smartphone for everything – life, work, and entertainment

From a high school student amazed by the release of the Samsung A300 in the early 2000s to upgrading to a Galaxy Z Fold3, Timmy couldn’t help but reminisce about the first time she saw one of the first flip phones.“The first phone that I had was the first flip when I was in high school. My dad went out of the country and flip phones back then were first more popular internationally, so I got it from him.”

Now that she’s a wife and a mom, Timmy expressed how Samsung has definitely become her go-to gadget for everything, “Everything that I need is just in my pocket. Checking schedules, watching movies and playing games– wala na ‘kong ibang hahanapin pa. I have everything in just one phone.”

Meanwhile, for Narah who is an entertainment enthusiast, her mobile phone is her ultimate entertainment hub. She remembers her first Samsung phone as a hand-me-down Samsung SGH-G600 from her uncle nine years ago. “At first, it was really just to call and text my mom when she had to go to work. But the phone did so much more – I could listen to music and take photos, which was just so amazing for me.”

Having fallen in love with the brand, she now has a full-fledged Samsung device collection - the Samsung A71, WB350F Camera and the Samsung S23 Ultra that completed Narah’s ultimate K-pop fan concert kit. “I was convinced by my favorite K-Pop group to buy the phone and so far, I have been using it for different events and shows, making vlogging easier and more compact.” She also enjoys how easily she can illustrate with the use of the S-Pen, “I have done illustrations and drawings with it, especially with the use of the S-Pen.”

Durability that is proven and tested

Mike, a full-time BPO employee and K-pop enthusiast, reminisced about getting to know Samsung in 2013. “I have always been a fan, especially when the Galaxy Note3 was released. I was stunned when I saw their ad for that. I have always dreamed of having one.” he said

Today, Mike has successfully achieved his goal of owning not only a Samsung mobile phone but four Galaxy devices: Galaxy Buds2, Galaxy Watch5, Galaxy A52S 5G and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Aside from the screen resolution, performance and integration between the ecosystem, he’s also ecstatic about the durability of each Galaxy device, “I am a heavy user. That’s why I appreciate the quality of these devices.”
