Blue Digital Systems listened to my advise and dropped their Blue H1 netbook to just Php9,995 this week. Now that’s a good bargain there.
Got a text message the other day telling me they’ve followed my advise and offered the new price. It’s a good move to separate them off the huge line of new netbooks that came out this year. The Php9,995 price tag has Linux OS installed (Php11,495 with Windows XP Home).
In a way, they’re trying to take on the label as the cheapest netbook ever. Priced competitively, the Deep Blue H1 is positioned as an alternative option on your next mobile phone purchase. It’s already as affordable as any mid-class phones out there.
See our 7-inch round-up here and the review here.
Note: The basic configuration includes a Via C7M 1.0 GHz processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 40GB of HDD, a webcam, WiFi, card reader with up to 4 hours of battery life.

hehehe (i hope yes).

Here’s my advise to Blue Digital Systems.
Netbook:
Via Nano U2500
VIA VX800
8.9″ 1024×600 backlit LCD
1-2gb RAM
40-60gb HDD
4-6 cell battery
open source friendly WiFi antenna
+ essentials (2-3 USB, multi-card reader, 10/100/1000 ethernet, etc)
They can use Via’s openbook reference design minus the crappy looking dual-headed camera.
Almost the $100 laptop, eh sans taxes?
If you are online, please give a quick reply as to where this is offered at ~10k. I would like to get one before stocks(if ever) run out. The eee 701 series are out of stock now for the 2g models so im searching for an alternative in the same price range. It would be used in school activities only. If you have a number it would be better and if the area is in makati or mall of asia. Thanks! I’m an avid reader of youyr blog.
my goodness. that’s so cheap! amazing… :O
Wow! this is a cool offer!
@matt. they seem to have it at pccorner at gilmore.
you might want to give them a call at Phone: (02) 723-1718 & 37.
share us your experience when you do get yours.
@Ron
I still don’t have time this week to head to vilmore, but I’ve seen the ad here and I’ll try contacting them. Will probably have one by next week. I’ll post my experience. I’m planning to install XP Black Edition on it and see if it does perform well.
im interested in getting 10 of these,

sir, f ur interested to purchase h1 laptop contak us @ 09238904176 or 09085194708.. 7219377 pc corner
pc corner gilmore 7239377….09085194708/09238904176
pc corner gilmore – iba ang presyo na isasabi sayo. Tanungin mo ang presyo kung ika-card, specific na tanong. Sa una mas mababa kumpara mo sa katabing mga shop, tapos babalikan mo siyempre. Kapag nacharge na sa card mas mataas na ang presyo. Tapos tatanungin mo siyempre yung tao bakit iba na ang presyo. Yung tao naman titingin sa malayo na parang kawawa, ikaw naman pababayaan mo na lalo’t nagmamadali ka.
I’m sorry. PC Gilmore pala yung nangloloko. Not PC Corner Gilmore.
hi guys, just jot me one of these. and i absolutely love it. super handy, long battery life (lives up as published 4.5 hrs). love the performance. If you just need a laptop for office or school use this is the one for you. using an open office and linpus OS is not as popular as xp but truly works. also love the built in player. plays a lot of codecs can even read mkv, avi, ogg files. perfect for someone who is always on the go, like me
i like to buy the DEEP BLUE H1 i just want to ask if they have branch at SM MALL of Asia and if they have where exactly it is located. thanks
