ask ko lang yung mga ginawa nyu sa laptop nyu dito sa oz. sa atin kasi sa pinas go lang ng go magdownload ng movies at softwares sa torrent sites. magastos kasi kung mag buy ka ng original softwares. nadedetect ba dito kapag nagdodownload ka?

your opinion and suggestions will be appreciated.

thanks

    You can download anything you want from the internet here in OZ. Pag muwi ka lang ng pinas e leave them here otherwise baka magaya ka sa isang pinoy na sa one-in-a-million chance e sya ang nakajackpot at inusisa ung kanyang laptop ng border security. long story short, they found illegal/pirated softwares and gave him a fine, ang masaklap nakitaan din ng child porn stuff so, straight to jail!

    Buy any software related to your work or study. Tax deductible naman yan plus less hassle kakaisip kung mahuhuli ka kasi legit.

    @rjlim Below is a list of major stores selling laptops and etc.

    https://www.officeworks.com.au/

    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/

    https://www.harveynorman.com.au/

    Check those sites and see kung san ka mas makakamura at kung meron bang malapit na mga stores na ganyan sa pupuntahan mo. Kalat kalat naman yan.

    Pampabigat din yan sa hand carry kung manggagaling pang Philippines otherwise kung mas mura jan ka na bumili. Ikaw na magdecide

    @rjlim

    Ung plug ng Aus standard ay ganto / . \
    at 230V 50 Hz

    Ung plug ng Philippines ay ganto I . I
    at 230V 60Hz

    Di ka naman magkakaproblema sa frequency variation. Ung mga bagong equipment di na affected nyan unless mga high-powered motors or mga transformer na pang 60Hz talaga.

    At usually ung mga power supply ng mga modern gadgets ngayon laging 100-240V 50-60Hz.

    Pwede kang humanap jan ng ganyang type ng socket or pwede kang bumili ng travel adapter or pwede mo din kunin ung pliers mo sasakyan at pihitin mo na lang.

    *Residential voltages are from wikipedia.
