Hey angel !

I disagree with you.... i have been here in qatar for awhile and noticed that if you compare " apples to apples " its much more cheap to buy them here. Try looking for the same HP model in carrefour and in the Phils, u will see that in Manila lappies cost 40-60% higher for the same models in Qatar.

There are a lot of cheap laptops in the Phils but only because they have older and lower specs. So it all boils down to assessing the power and kind of lappie u actually need...

But as i mentioned, same branded models would cost 40-60% more in the Phils. Hope this helps...
