I'm a hardcore gamer. And like a lot of hardcore gamers in the Philippines there was a time when I…read moredidn't have the time to blow my cash on a great rig to play the games that I want. There are plenty of computer cafes out there that lets me play games with a high speed internet connection and a good rig. Most of them come off as generic and don't really give off a unique vibe to them, not Minesky Infinity though. The thing that makes Mineski Infinity unique is that it wasn't started by people who looked at it solely from a business oriented perspective. The people who started Minesky Infinity are a group of students who were themselves hardcore gamers. Their internet cafes are basically made by hardcore gamers, for hardcore gamers, of hardcore gamers. Everything is great. Sure you won't be using products from the likes of Razer, but their keyboard and mice are of great quality. They have headphones that do a good job of bringing a level of sound and comfort I wish I'd get more often from other internet cafes. they clean their equipment regularly and replace the ones that are broken. Given just how well some kids treat internet cafe equipment I'd say that's a massive plus for Mineski Infinity. To date, I haven't found a internet cafe franchise that handles its business as well as these guys do. Sure there are probably cafes that are as good, if not better, but none of them have the presence that Mineski has. It is the gold standard of internet cafes so far as I'm concerned.

The reason why I love the PC Express in Market! Market! is the size of the store in this branch…read more It's one of the biggest PC Express stores I've seen yet. There are so many stuff, brands and stock to choose from - rows of laptops, desktops, a variety of computer mouses, IT parts, and even mobile devices and accessories. Whatever electronics device or computer accessories you want to buy or anything technology related really, you can find here. My big brother who is a huge tech junkie spends hours here looking for the perfect items he needs either for work or personal use. My family and myself have bought computers, software devices, gaming stuff, headphones, and many more here and they are always in great condition and of good quality. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable so buying stuff there isn't difficult at all. Also look out for sales, discounts and promos if you want to save money.

*Note: This is a 4.5 Star review…read more SM Cyberzone is the place to go for ALL your techie needs! Yes, there is Greenhills but, for the legit tech support services and products on warranty, you should go here. They usually have the latest phones, laptops, digital cameras, gaming consoles, PC components and tech accessories. If not, you can always order it ahead of time and make a reservation. The reason I love SM Cyberzone is that it is located inside a mall and they are open til late. Depending on what product you plan to buy or the service that you need, the prices per store is relatively the same price. You can still haggle and, of course, requests for extras like accessories or freebies (like SD Cards or USBs). Unlike other techie kiosks, you can pay using credit cards here and they also offer installment packages. Very convenient! I usually go here to have my laptops fixed or to buy a cheap accessory for my gadgets. Plus, I just like going around to see the latest gadgets to touch and try them out (LOL!). Depending which store you choose, the staff are well-informed about the gadgets. So, they will be there to help you decide whether to buy or not. Lastly, it is one of the best places to shop because many stores offer deals and promotions at the end of the month and most especially during the Christmas season. So, if you're a gadget lover like me, give this place a visit one time. Less stressful than GH for sure :)

As the tech area of one of the biggest malls in the metro, most of the big tech brands have a home there. Just about every bit of consumer tech is present there: mobiles, personal computing and photography are ready and waiting to be explored. Own brand laptops and desktops from Acer, Lenovo, Asus, and Apple all have wares for the computer savvy. Canon PH and Camerahaus provide eye candy for shutterbugs. Smart, Globe and Sun all have their own stores, as well as Samsung and Sony Mobile should you want to buy something without a postpaid plan. For a bit of local flavor, MyPhone and Cherry Mobile also have prominent stalls. Music lovers also have the JBL Concept Store, and a Sennheiser stall in the middle. This doesn't even account for the other stores selling accessories, peripherals, and a plethora of other items. And naturally, it has a CDR King. Because everyone needs to visit CDR King once in a while.

I think everyone who goes to Beyond the Box GH has fallen in love with its design, the place simply looks awesome! and the displays would definitely make you want to buy. They have almost everything there so you won't have go out and buy else where. One thing I've learned from buying at Beyond the Box is that they have this magical thing called cash discount which you can really appreciate when buying gadgets because you'll feel the big discount. That and they have a 1 week replacement and 1 year service warranty. Price-wise, it's sometimes cheaper to buy there if you can believe it and the sense of security that warranty brings me since I'm one of those people who's really unlucky when it comes to buying gadgets.

As opposed to their computer iStudio that's chosen to go with a monotonous color scheme, it's all about color here. There's plenty to explore within the premises: if you're in search of new earphones or headphones, they've got it. There are phone cases, iPad cases, iPod touch cases, laptop cases, etc. And then there are speakers. If you're a techie or a gadget person, come through. This is in your element.

In its current incarnation as V-Mall, this place still manages to retain the charm (at least, for…read moregadget lovers such as me) of its past life as Virra Mall. Yes, there are places to buy appliances, furniture and authentic shoes. Agreed, you can purchase toys and collectibles, and get your hair cut. Those options notwithstanding, personal electronics are inarguably the focus here. The plethora of gadget shops that occupy half of the space on the third floor are the best reason to visit V-Mall. You'll find pretty much anything you want, from the latest and greatest devices to computer parts and everything in between. Unlike the tiangge area, bargaining is not always a sure thing but feel free to try, especially if you're purchasing a lot of items from one store. Most things sold here are as brand-new as they claim, although caveat emptor should still remain your motto while shopping. Keep your receipts for warranty purposes! If you get hungry, the food court is opposite the gadget side. The selection is typical, for the most part, although there is a Sbarro's outlet in case you don't mind spending a little more for higher-quality dishes. To the side of the food court is Beyond the Box, which has an excellent selection of Apple devices and accessories. Prices here are pretty good, too.

Before there was V-Mall, it was once called Virra Mall! Virra Mall was THE go for gadgets and…read morecomputers, second-hand gadgets, games for gameboys or PS1/PS2, branded and imported clothes. You name it, they had it! Sadly, after how many fires, they had to close it down for a few years. Then, from the ashes, Greenhills rebuilt and renamed it to V-Mall! Everyone goes to the Tiangges in the GH shopping center for the cheap electronics. But, the problem is that you don't know if those are real, fake or second-hand. That's why, if I am in need of a new gadget or need something fixed, I go to V-Mall. Most of the kiosks on the third floor are of legit electronic dealerships. They not only offer monthly installments, you also get a one year warranty. The second floor has a few clothes shops, toy shops, an appliance center and a furniture store. If you look at it as a whole, it's a fairly small mall. But, the kiosks here are places that people go to for specific services and needs. For me, apart from the gadgets, I go here for the foodcourt. :P Nothing fancy about the foodcourt. It's actually a good place to just sit, eat merienda then wait for meet-ups with friends. V-Mall isn't like how I remembered it as a kid. I'm still happy though that it's still around and still has it's charm! :)

I would always go to this place when I was a kid. We didn't have internet back then, because my mom…read morefirmly believed that kids have no need for the internet (I totally agree). After school, I would end up in Netopia with my friends to update our Friendster accounts (UGH MY JEJE DAYS) and to play various Computer games. Every time I have to prepare a book report for one of my English classes, my mom would always bring me here. I am a lot older now, but I still go here every once in a while. Unlike most internet shops, Netopia doesn't look sketchy and you can actually go here to do work or school stuff. The internet connection is really fast and reliable and the personnel would be more than happy to assist you if ever you're experiencing any computer-related problems. Besides computer and internet services, Netopia also offers printing and advertising services.

They sell everything from cd's, usb connectors, phone stands and other laptop and computer accessories as well as school supplies and even household items like electric fans and clothes irons. Small side story: They have this one brand called "Stark" that my brother and I always get amused at when were at the store because we keep on imagining Tony Stark ironing clothes or using a fan to cool himself from the hot weather. In any case, they also sell random little things like cute key chains and as I've said, everything is affordable and cheap so if you have a budget or say, you're...a single parent or a working student...you can check the store out. Oh and make sure to test the items in the store before you buy them so you won't have to return to replace what you bought. :)

And then you'll find yourself at PC Options. PC Options is a store that's easy to spot in the tumult of Gilmore as it's set apart from the rest of all the computer and laptop-dedicated buildings across it. What's odd about it is that they have two separate stores beside each other, both under the PC Options brand--I haven't exactly figured out what the difference is, though I think one's more on the hard drives and and more delicate stuff, while the other's more on the accessories like mouses and headphones and things of that nature. Clearly I know nothing about computers. But what's so good about PC Options is that they do make you feel so secure even if you don't know shit. I was looking for an external hard drive and my friend Lara, who also doesn't know computers, suggested the place, and I understand why. You just feel like you're getting your money's worth and not getting bamboozled, since everything looks so nice and professional. Hell, they have their own security guards for *both* stores and have a proper queueing system to get and pay for what you need. I'm not sure that other shops in the area have the same measures, and I don't think I want to find out. I'll just stick with PC Options.

*Note: This is a 4.5 Star review…read more I've had nothing but good experiences with my Asus laptop. I bought it less than a year ago. It is pretty sturdy and I love the touch screen feature. Plus, like with all Asus laptops, it's basically "plug and play." Everything was going well until I saw this line/break on the screen. :( Of course, I went to look for a service center in Megamall. Yes, there is a Asus service drop-off center in Megamall. They informed me that they will receive Asus notebooks and Eee PCs. Then, these units will then be sent out to Asus Authorized Service Providers for diagnosis and repair. Sadly, that will take about a month before you get you laptop back. That was too long for me not to have my personal laptop. Thankfully, another store told me that I should go directly to ASUS World to have my laptop repaired. At ASUS World, I explained what were the problems with my laptop and showed them the receipt with warranty. After filling up a few papers, the representative told me that they would contact me when my laptop was ready for pick up. Guess what, after 3 days, I receive a notice telling me my laptop has been repaired. They had to change the screen and, after diagnostics, repaired a few parts. Since it was still under warranty, I did not have to pay for anything! Woohoo! :D I am happy with the center's convenient location and efficient staff. They even told me that I am still under warranty until June 2016! All in all, I have nothing negative to say about ASUS World's services. :)
