    The 1080p resolution is a big come-on. But if the SRP of Php49+k doesn’t include the Blu-Ray drive, then I’d rather get one of those 32″ LCD-TVs instead, for that 1080p reso. The Blu-Ray can wait.

    It’s a good bargain. Though for the same price tag you could a MacBook, but hey, it’s a Lenovo so it’ll do.

    Oh myy. Seriously, I regret paying for my Core 2 Quad PC HP Pavilion that cost Php64,000 to me.

    Arghhh! I’m craving for this one! I only wish if I could turn back time.

    LOL. Seriously, the price is just right for those features, in fact it’s kinda has a *cheap* price.

    I love to have this one!
