The year 2020 has been a trying time for all of us, the whole world actually due to Covid-19 pandemic. Our usual and carefree way of life suddenly stopped and there were a lot of changes, big changes that we refer to as our 'new normal.' But being the resilient beings that we are, we have adapted to the changes thanks to technology and us, being digital-savvy.
In line with this, our way of life, the one that we call 'new normal' has created a digital ecosystem where almost everything we do outside of our house can be done online such as banking, grocery or market shopping, order food, buy gifts for family or friends, watch concerts, attend online class or business meetings, health consultation with doctors, among others.
Since last year, I and my family have adapted well to this digital ecosystem that connects us to most of our errands and needs without going out of the house. This year is not an exception because we are still in the midst of the pandemic and my daughter will begin her second year online in the university.
Some might say that online is cheaper than going to school since kids doesn't need any money allowance, no uniforms to buy, no notebooks. But it has its unique expenses, too such as gadgets- laptop or tablet for online class, accessories such as headset and microphone. I mean, not every one has a laptop to begin with or some may have but the specs doesn't meet the school's I.T. requirements.
I guess most parents like me have already set aside a budget for her/his child's new school gadget but encountered some hiccups like ECQ and or limited time to check out the stores since either working or doing something at home, or is hesitant to go out in public places because of the pandemic. Luckily, most of the stores have an online presence now and this include SM Malls Online app.
Why do I prefer to buy gadget from the SM Malls Online app:
1. Trusted online website. We've bought our laptops and mobile phones at SM Cyberzone pre-pandemic days so for me, I feel that I won't get scammed if I buy a gadget directly from SM Malls Online app.
2. Extensive selection of top gadget brands. This is very important for me because I prefer gadgets that are of superb quality and gives excellent performance for online schooling or work-from-home set-up. Also, aside from laptops and tablets, there are also gadget accessories available.
3. Easy to compare specs and prices. Going to an actual store to canvass for a laptop that will best fit my needs and budget can be time consuming whereas I can compare browsing at SM Malls Online app similar to watching Netflix. I mean, I can just click and scroll to check the specs and prices and be done in a few minutes.
4. Promos. Who doesn't love promos and freebies? As per website, gadgets can be delivered next day (if readily available) and you can also avail of free delivery if you consolidate orders from other merchants in a single order. Get discounts on select gadgets and brands.
5. Safe and convenient. Since we are still not off the hook from this pandemic, going out in public places can create stress, not to mention one's health can be compromised. Gadget-hunting at the SM Malls Online app is thus safe and convenient since you can do this at home, and have the chosen gadget delivered right at your doorstep.
You can easily download the SM Malls Online App, and access Cyberzone via the app. You can download the app for FREE at App Store or Google Playstore.
Here are some my gadget choices found at the SM Malls Online app/ Cyberzone which I think is perfect for my daughter's online class or for me (and hubby) WFH needs as well as some accessories:
1. HP 14" Notebook 14S-CF2042TU Silver. This is a nice beginner's laptop for online classes. The specs are just right for online school and home works.
2. iPad Air, 64GB Wi-Fi, Rose Gold. This iPad Air has specs that is perfect for online class although one might need some accessories such as bluetooth keyboard for easier use.
3. ASUS VivoBook Flip 14, 8GB RAM, 512 SSD, with Stylus Pen. Another great choice especially for those WFH individuals. It is also lightweight and has a sleek design. Of course, with its specs, one is sure to accomplish a lot of work with this laptop.
4. Seagate Portable Drive, 1TB or 2TB. Having a back-up for important files such as reports, research work, video presentations is an important gadget accessory. There's an option to get the 1TB or 2TB depending on how large your files are.
5. Lenovo Legion 5Pi Gaming Laptop. There's also laptop choices such as this Lenovo Legion 5Pi, and other gaming paraphernalia available at SM Malls Online app for gamers and streamers.
6. Acer Aspire 5 A514-53-395P. This is another entry level laptop that is best suited for online class.
Overall, I am happy with SM Malls Online app. Very easy to navigate, and there are a lot of gadget choices. Checking-out is also easy, and there's also an option to pay using credit card or cash (cash on delivery).
