Academic Learning Satisfaction per School

We let our respondents whom had experience with higher education rate their satisfaction with the education they received. In order for us to evaluate their responses qualitatively, we assigned points to each of their ratings from 1 point for "Strongly Disagree" to 5 points for "Strongly Agree" and obtained their average. From this, we learned that UP Tacloban provided the most satisfying education for its students. Considering only schools with 3 or more respondents, this is followed by Visayas State University.

College/University	Number of Respondents	Satisfaction Rating
College/University	Number of Respondents	Average	Strongly Disagree (1 pt.)	Disagree (2 pts.)	Neutral (3 pts.)	Agree (4 pts)	Strongly Agree (5 pts.)

Computer Used Most of the Time

PCs are the most used computing machine by developers in Eastern Visayas. Laptops, in particular, are the most popular. This is the case for all demographics. Macs are also used but professionals tend to be the ones to use them. None of the respondents who are students or unemployed reported that they use Macs most of the time.

PC Specs

Most developers in Eastern Visayas who use PCs reported that they sport a mid-range CPU, though many students also have entry-level CPUs. Most of them also sport an integrated GPU. In terms of memory, most developers report that they have at least 16 GB of RAM. Storage-wise, SSDs with at least 512 GB of storage are the most popular.

PC Operating Systems

Windows is the most popular PC operating system among developers using PCs in Eastern Visayas. While Linux distros are also used, they are only mainly used by professionals. No student have reported that they use any PC OS outside of Windows.

Windows 11
Windows 10
An Ubuntu-based distro (e.g. Pop! OS, Linux Mint, elementaryOS)
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa

Mac Models

Among developers that use Macs as their daily driver, most of them use MacBook Pros with the latest M-series chips. Older generation MacBooks with Intel CPUs are still being used but not as much as the newer models. Note that none of the students and the unemployed reported that they use Macs most of the time.

Tablets/Smartphones Used

In the survey, we added smartphones among the options for the computer being used most of the time by respondents. There was only one respondent who selected smartphones. This very same person reported that they use a model of smartphones that were not among the choices in the survey. Due to the minimal number of respondents that selected tablets and smartphones as their primary computer, we are not displaying a graph.
