*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. :)

I have two Beyond the Box branch favourite but I chose to write here at the Greenhills branch page…read morebecause I bought more items (gadgets) here and at the other one (Robinson's Galleria) I've only bought accessories. 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.

They offer some really nice Apple accessories for your iphones, macs, and ipads, and they also sell other gadgets like speakers, headsets, powerbanks, and cameras. They have so many things for such a small shop! What's nice is most of the items are stylish, design-centric, one of a kind items, the type you'd see in specialty hobby/accessory stores. They have this particular micro-cam there that's a great GoPro alternative, available for a fraction of the price! Everything at Loop is actually sold at prices cheaper than SRP at malls and other gadget stores, but they still sell legit, original items. It's an authorized Apple retailer too so you can actually buy macbooks and ipads themselves there at a discount. They also offer shipping in and outside of Metro Manila!

I recently (and finally) made the switch! I'm now officially an Apple user and what can I say,…read moreeveryone was right. Sorry windows, I prefer Apple from now on. And I think it took me about 1 year (or more) to decide on whether I should really take the big leap. Throughout my research phase, I was asking everyone I knew where they bought their laptops. Majority of my friends and even family members told me they rely on but one certified Apple distributor in the country, iStudio. I was actually thinking of buying my laptop abroad but when I went to iStudio to check out the prices, I ended up reserving a unit that week. Not only are they very keen into telling you about the international warranty of Apple, their service is superb! You can ask all sorts of technical questions and for sure someone will be able to assist you on this. They even hold free basic lessons on how to use the Mac if you're not familiar with the interface! Tip: I got my unit at a very good discount because if I paid in cash. So take note of this the next time you're thinking of getting an Apple product.

I like coming through here just to play around with the products and have a look at the latest merchandise available. Oh, and Apple Care can be availed of here. If there's a problem with your product, you can take it in to have it examined. Sometimes there's a charge for the repair, and in some cases they'll do it for free. Great, customer-oriented service right here.

I was going around Cyberzone in Southmall to look for a tablet which can also work as a phone, and…read moreI already have a very particular one in mind, thanks to the suggestion of a techie - the latest model of the Asus phone tablet. I asked around but all the shops I went to said they only have the older model, and many thought that that was actually the latest model. Until I went to PC Express. I've already had good experience with PC Express in Gilmore, the discount hub for personal computers. Well, PC Express is a tad pricey compared with other PC shops in Gilmore, but in the case of Southmall, the branch there seemed to be the most updated and well-stocked. And, they had all the available colors for the tablet I want. The staff was accommodating and friendly, too, even directing me to other shops where I could buy the screen protector, the casing, and the powerbank.

Are you that type of cellphone user who just loves a lot of case designs and can't stick to one…read morecase? Well, you and me both, my friend. Don't fret, Digibabe is here for us! They have a wide array of cellphone cases (from Samsung to Apple and others), and along with it is a series of great designs for all personality types out there (girly? minimalistic? tribal? colorful? tacky? nerdy? dreamy? what have you!). Not only these, but their prices are also affordable (the lowest price I think is around 200 Pesos, but depending on the brand and material, they have some cases around 400 Pesos). Still alright, right? Especially when you're going to change your case again next month.

This is a little gem that I stumbled upon while exploring Robinson's Forum in Pioneer Mandaluyong…read more The store sells mobile phone accessories. They have racks upon racks of cellphone cases, more than enough to allow you to change your cellphone case every single day. One delightful discovery is the charging and data cable that I purchased from them. It's one of those flat types that don't get tangled up. This is perfect for the " burara " types like me who just shove and cram everything in my bag when I need to go out. No chance of you retrieving your cable only to find out that your pens and USB dongle has hitched themselves to your cable. And it is one of those fast charging cables which is a big plus for me. My charging time was cut into half. They also come in several colors from the conservative gray, black or white to the more flamboyant neon pink, avocado green and neon orange. The cable is such a steal for its price that I returned to the said store four more times to purchase more cables for my officemates. The staff are also very friendly and accomodating. They make sure that everything you purchase is in good order by having you test them to your satisfaction. With stores selling cellphone accessories sprouting like mushrooms everywhere you look, this is definitely one that I won't hesitate to go back to.

Whenever I am on the hunt for a new gadget or electronic product, I am very thorough with my search…read moreon where to get it for a good price that is covered by warranty and replacement conditions. I can literally spend hours store hopping just comparing the exact same product and taking note of the sales condition and the price. Most people would find this stressful but I actually have the patience for it when I want to be. After all, if one is investing good money to buy a product, one has to be sure! In my search and shop hopping, I found Ambassador to be one of the stores that offer competitive prices for the latest gadgets and electronics out in the market. Most of their prices are similar to a lot of other electronics and gadget stores but what sets them aside is the possibility to haggle and ask for a discount with warranty and exchange policy intact! I found them quite competitive with their prices for cameras, accessories, as well as memory cards. If you are looking for something specific they can also help you source it and offer a price that can be reasonable. Make sure you have your haggle hats on to try to get the best price for your product!

As a gamer, Data Blitz has been my haven ever since I can remember. Starting from my PlayStation 2…read moreera, Wii addiction, Guitar Hero kingdom, towards PlayStation 4, Data Blitz is truly my one stop for all my gaming needs (needs, not wants). They have the latest games and even some old ones (in my vocab, 'old' games mean released sometime a few months ago), for reasonable prices. When I'm too lazy to buy the next great game in Steam or GameStop, Data Blitz is my next stop. Not only do they have great games and great prices, they also offer great accessories for gamers such as myself: controllers, that new awesome Razer headphones and keyboard, etc. Yeah, everything's great.

I love going to Data Blitz. It's almost a gamer's haven. I mean, there are plenty of stores out…read morethere that sell video games and video game hardware, but only Data Blitz goes far enough to show just how dedicated they really are to catering to the video gamer market. For me, the thing that makes Data Blitz different is that they know what gamers want. Data Blitz is sort of like the modern day Toy Kingdom. There was a time when for me, Toy Kingdom was the one place I could spend hours in just looking at all the stuff I wanted to buy. Data Blitz is today, the equivalent of that in my age. They not only sell consoles or portable video game hardware, but they also sell special unique items that hard core gamers could want. They are one of the few stores that sells those chairs for driving sim games. It's a chair with driving pedals and a steering wheel, how more hard core can a person get?
