SWYPE Is Finally Hitting The Google Play Store No More BETA Versions

Today i was pretty much shocked about hearing that SWYPE has finally hit the Google Play Store and is finally out of the Beta era. This to me was totally unexpected. Moving back to the main point, SWYPE has finally hit the Google Play Store and V1.5 is the version there. Well if you have been here for sometime now you would have known that im an avid SWYPE user and ive been using the keyboard since i started using my Nokia symbian phone. Ive used numerous keyboards including the recently announced Swiftkey 4, the android 4.2 keyboard but they all just wont do. It seems that only SWYPE will do me. Well this version which is hitting the Google Play Store adds a HOLO theme which is very matching in the world of android. Ill consider doing a written review of this keyboard when im ready.

Two more HP Touchscreen Laptops HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14 B132TX and 14 B133TX


HP has released two more Windows 8 touchscreen laptops in the Philippines, the HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14-B132TX and 14-B133TX. The two new offerings are more powerful higher end models of the HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14-B164TU we took a look at earlier.

The HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14-B132TX is priced at Php29,990, which is 4K more than the lower end HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14-B164TU. The additional 4K is well worth the money.

Comparing the two, the Sandy Bridge i3 on the lower end model, was upgraded to an Ivy Bridge Intel Core i3-3227U. This means you also get an upgrade from Intel HD 3000 graphics to Intel HD 4000 graphics. In addition the 14-B132TX also gets a discrete graphics card, a Nvidia GT 630M with a 1GB of dedicated RAM. You also get double the RAM at 4 GB, and 50% more storage at 750 GB.

If you can spare the additional 4K, I would recommend the 14-B132TX over the 14-B164TU. 

The third model is the HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14-B132TX which is priced at Php33,990. The only upgrade the 14-B133TX has over the 14-B133TX is the processor, which is a Intel Core i5-3337U. Best advice I can give you on whether it is work the additional 4K is to check the PassMark benchmarks.

  • Intel Core i3-2375M - 1943 PassMark points
  • Intel Core i3-3227U - 2690 PassMark points
  • Intel Core i5-3337U - 3213 PassMark points


At Php29,990, the HP Pavillion Sleekbook Touchsmart 14-B132TX looks like the best bang for the buck model. The substantial hardware upgrades are worth the 4K price premium over the 14-B164TU.  The 14-B133TX with its Core i5 processor would also be worth the additional money for those needing more power.
