It’s now official — the Dell has landed in the Philippines. A per a media advisory shared with me, the launching of its consumer brand will be on April 10, 2008.
See snippet of the release below.
The long wait is finally over! Dell will officially welcome the arrival of its award winning consumer brands here in the Philippines. And we want you to be part of this momentous event.
We will celebrate the arrival of these products with a night of colors, action and entertainment on April 10, 2008 at the Prince of Jaipur at the Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. Registration starts at 7:00pm.
Dell has been recognized as a global leader popular for producing a range of notebooks and desktops targeted to the corporate market. The announcement of its entry of its consumer brands in the local market is just an indication that Dell indeed listens to its customers.
The launch of Dell’s consumer range of products will be a visual feast of entertainment personifying the characteristics of these Dell brands.
It was only in late January this year when Dell announced its intention to enter the PC retail market in the country. Only indicates that they think the Philippines is still a growing PC market.
HP, Lenovo and Acer are already here. A new player is always welcome — cheaper laptops, bigger LCD monitors and bargain sales. *w00t*
Yes this is great news for the Philippines. I live in the UK and would like to know when and where can you purchase the computer. Please let me know and how much thank you.
Where can I find their showroom? I need an XPS 630 fast!!
wow atlast i can work at my own country…. =D
Dell call centers will not close down.. they are being sold to Teletech and Accenture…
Does this equate to a local service center that will recognize the international warranties of our laptops?
Welcome DELL!!
More competition the better for us!
For me, it will further drive Lenovo prices down :p then I’ll grab 3 Lenovos hehehe :p
Finally….I’ve been waiting for this for ages. Now that EPP sounds so much more enticing. The old setup with Accent Micro was just nots. Can you say XPS?!?!?!?
Any job offer? :-) I look forward to it…
EPP? Everyone!? Nice!!!
woohhh..i’m reall interested with DELL. The long wait is finally over. Hopefully, I can buy one their notebooks! =)
Is there a fee for the registration? How much! Thanks!
Well it’s about time. I wish they did it earlier when I was still in the Philippines. I would’ve gotten a Dell then. :D
Definitely great news! Not only because of the new jobs (tech support, repair, etc), but also because now we can buy high quality computers locally.
hmmm…career ops? :D interesting…
So there is no rumors about Dell Call Centers closing down. Because that what I heard.. hehe
This is good news, after reading about Intel’s plan to vacate the country. O_O
New investments for the tech industry in the Philippines, yay!
My favorite laptop brand I can finally service my 700m.
Dell makes the best multimedia laptop money can buy.
Now that is the news I have been waiting for, for the last three months I’ve been salivating over their online inventory, finally I can order one locally… Been a fan of them in the US…
That’s good. But i wonder when i could buy a Dell product. I’m satisfied with my IBM.
woohoo that means cheap high powered laptops with warranty! :) Interested to see how much they end up costing here
