Dell flew me to Singapore just to give this…

Instagram now lets users reorder their posts on their profile iOS 27 Adds Native Baybayin Keyboard to iPhone: Here is How to Enable It AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026

Dell Philippines flew me to Singapore the other day to attend their regional launch of Dell Access, a new program they’re doing for media people and professional bloggers.

Dell Access is an exclusive community designed specifically for friends of Dell (according to that brochure that came with the card).

It gives each member:

– first hand previews to the latest Dell news

– exclusive discount on Dell products and solutions

– invitation to Dell events and showcases

– private workshops and product demonstrations

To start off the program, they’re giving us up to $SGD800 discount on an Alienware M14x (Core i7, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, 1.5GB NVidia GT555M).

The Dell Access website isn’t up yet but they say they will put more exclusive offers there once it’s up. Don’t know how other professional bloggers and media people can get in or become a member but they just send out invites once everything is ironed out.

chris · 15 years ago

AGREE! Buy the products offered to you at discounted prices. Then give them as Yuga Deals for the same price as you bought them. Lahat tayo happy happy! HAHA. :)

daniel · 15 years ago

@MIKE – ang baduy mo! gumawa ka ng sarili mong blog para ikaw ang mag-manage ng gusto mo i-post! nakikibasa ka lng sa website nya ang dami mo pang reklamo. edi wag mo bilin kung mahal. pulubi ka kasi unlike Abe na mayaman ^^

Neil · 15 years ago

People shouldn’t be envious of sir Abe, especially if they want to make a career out of blogging. He was one of the pioneers who took the risk of making a local one even though it wasn’t really profitable nor feasible at the time. It’s guys like him that helped pave the way for us (and made local online advertising credible for sponsors).

If you still can’t make it, you have nothing to blame but yourself (maybe if you spent as much time writing and promoting for your site as you do accusing people of selling out, maybe your blog would have more than 10 hits per day)

Paul · 15 years ago

I agree with you, Neil.

Jam. · 15 years ago

Buy a lot of that Laptops. then sell it on yugadeals LOL

adam · 15 years ago

+ 1

razorous · 15 years ago

Sana yung M11x yung discounted price nila!!! Hot with its new sandy bridge cpus, tapos benta mo sa yugadeals hehe

Darksen · 15 years ago

@mike you are one weird creature. wag na puro panghila pababa ang alam mo. wag ka mag alala kung may not soo good na product si dell mababasa din natin dito ang specification ng product na yun. Kung hindi tugma sa taste mo eh di wag mo bilhin. Eh kung tugma naman sa taste mo at gusto mo, di mo rin bibilhin ? pride lols. Eto para sayo kung mag blog si yugatech about fried chicken at gulay di ka na kakain ng fried chicken at gulay dahil nabasa mo dito ? gooduck! lols

Dexter | Techathand · 15 years ago

Sana kami rin magkaroon nyan :)

brein · 15 years ago

@yuga

request ni mike mag review kanang ipod shuffle 2nd gen clone yung 300 pesos. XD

noob · 15 years ago

dami talagang inggiterong pinoy, sa halip na maging happy para sa achievements ng kababayan, puro bitterness alam. mga utak talangka. siguro, mga frustrated blogger mga yan, walang pumapansin sa kanila.

magtanim na lang kayo ng kamote, buti pa!

Fleeb · 15 years ago

Wow nice discount.

Also, to the mike guy, why not make your own competing blog.

mike · 15 years ago

well just like what was posted about Mugen battery. It is an overpriced battery and everyone agrees. There are other branded batteries which only cost half of it.

Les · 15 years ago

blog po ito at hindi kayo pinepwersa na bumili ng anumang produkto

Pasalamat ka nga at nalalaman mo sa Yugatech ang presyo ng mga items na patuloy na binabasa MO dito sa blog.

Eason · 15 years ago

Can’t Yuga blog anything about his Achievements?

Its like some of the guys above wants to be like Sir Abe, well then start your own blog and try it. No one is forcing you to read the blogs here,

if you can’t afford it then comment something about the price, if you think its impractical them suggest. Its how companies learn what the public wants, no company wants to throw their products in the market without research.

Try to be a blogger like Sir Abe, but buy your review items as you suggested Mr.Mike you want reviews that companies doesn’t give as review sample. Let’s see if you can review all of them, or maybe you reviewed them but not the 1st to release it cause its in the market already :D

brein · 15 years ago

Can you let me borrow it so i can get discounts? Or just buy stuff with you para maka discount

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 15 years ago

mike: ano na lang po nabibili nyo e lahat na yata ng magandang gadgets nilalabas dito? baka sa Baclaran na lang po kayo nag shopping nyan.

Cliff Rosario · 15 years ago

hahaha.. malamang.. I read his post from another topic about a certain phone.. It seems he doesn’t have enough dough to get gadgets like that.. Top Troll mo ata ito @Yuga.. hahaha.. anyways.. ignore na lang..

Cliff Rosario · 15 years ago

hahaha.. I just can’t help it @Mike..you don’t sound credible to me either..

mike · 15 years ago

that is why I don’t buy anything that is being shown on this blog. Companies spend money to give to bloggers only for bloggers to give false reviews. There is such a thing called CREDIBILITY!

Jam. · 15 years ago

Hmm I hope that a lot of Filipino bloggers can get in.

alain · 15 years ago

cool story bro.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 15 years ago

@I am fake Jhay – made this post just for you. looks like it’s working. hehehe

I am fake Jhay · 15 years ago

So you basically composed this post just to make us envious of you? Good job, Abe. Selling out is really your specialty. At least have the guts to keep my comment alive.
