Apple’s Macbook Air is now being sold by several Apple resellers in Metro Manila! In fact, I just saw someone at Starbucks typing away in a brand new unit while sipping from his coffee mug. Here are the prices quoted by the Pinoy Tech Blog at the iStudio branch in Bonifacio High Street (The Fort):
MacBook Air (1.6)
1.6 GHz CPU, 80GB PATA HHD
Php89,990 Cash
Php7,499/month for 12 months at 0% interestMacBook Air (1.8)
1.8 GHz CPU, 80GB PATA HHD
Php105,990 Cash
Php8,832/month for 12 months at 0% interestMacBook Air (SSD)
1.8GHz CPU, 64GB SSD
Php149,990 Cash
Php12,499/month for 12 months at 0% interestThe SSD version is so expensive it’s more pricey than a 17? MacBook Pro (2.5GHz Core 2 Duo, 250GB SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 512MB DDR3) at Php138,990.
Yes – it is sooooooo EXPENSIVE! :wah:
You can already buy a second hand car with that kind of dough. You can even make a downpayment already for a condo unit. Grabe! Ang mahal talaga! Nakakalula! This is really a good example of how strong branding is. Just because the damn thing has an apple on it, the selling price doubles.
I have no plans on getting a Macbook Air anytime soon. I’m not even sure if the specs it has can run the games that I play.

LOL. I agree with lupin.
On a side note, is it really that satisfying to hang out at Starbucks with this gadget? I mean yeah people will drool over this Mac Air but with the moolah that you spent to get it, it is enough to buy a piece of land that appreciates value overtime! Well it’s just me..

I got my MacBook Air SSD for a 130k with free shipping. I’ll choose Mac over the PC. It’s not playing stupid but it is more productive than PC. You know what I mean. But I use my PC for gaming while Mac for general use like photo, image, video, even arranging music scores.
