It’s Official: Dell Philippines is here!

dell philippinesIt’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*

    sir/madam:

    my niece from UK intends to give her Dell desktop to her relatives. she had it shipped here in Pinas…for upgrading. we brought it to a computer service store and was diagnosed to have a spec of 256 mb ,pc2700 unfortunately what is available in their store is pc400 which (according to the technician) is not acceptable to the dell unit of my niece.if installed, the pc might black out. coincidentally, i had a neighbor who claimed to be a certified dell technician…so i requested her to see the unit at home. after examining the unit, she gave me encouraging advices. however, until now, she is hard to reach and my niece is scheduled to go back to UK this EO of december . now, i just want to bring the unit to a qualified service center of dell…please help us . the unit was bought way back 2003 at UK. is there hope to have it upgraded with non-dell spare parts (ex. memory, etc.)?

    thanks. happy new year!!

    TO Francis:

    Where are you located? I can work on your system? I forgot to mention… I also work with Studio systems =)

    Just for you to know guys. It really doesn’t matter when you keep the laptop plugged in all the time. Though true that over time it will really be degraded due to of course aside from the normal wear and tear, know that NOTEBOOK BATTERIES are generally “consumable” part of the computer.

    You don’t really have to use the ac adapter ONLY, keep your battery plugged in. Trust me, I’ve worked with a variety of Dell systems, Vostro, Latitude, Inspiron systems to name a few. So what are you waiting for, keep it plugged in…. =)

    For all guys having problems with their dells, here’s the bottom line for me.

    If it is a busted HD, battery, hinge, dvd-writer, or any component that is generic. You can have that replaced. The rule is, if it can be removed and not necessarily in the motherboard (and soldered), likely, it can be fixed IF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. You don’t need a DELL certified technician to do that or an authorized dell store.

    For batteries. Know that if you have that batt always plugged with the AC, that battery will go bust in 1 year or so. You are overcharging it. I leave it off at home and use a UPS. I only plug it in when I need it out. My dell batt is still working (although weakened due to time) and it is over 3 years old!

    I still maintain that if I will get a DELL, I will get it in the USA, not here. Cheaper, has support, you get better specs, you can change specs, etc.

    FYI, my Dell 1505 is now over 3 years old. It is still running fine 16-24/7. That’s how good it is. The defect is the hinge. I got that fixed for P3,500. A new problem cropped up, w/c is the arrow keys don’t work anymore. I can always buy a keyboard from cannibalized parts. Or I can just buy an external keyboard from CDR-King for P250-300. I’ll leave it as it is for now.

    DELL USA isn’t the problem. It’s the distributor here, for not having a support. And the price is not as great nor the specs. You have to say, this, Lenovo’s support and pricing and specs look better, so why go Dell local?

    As far as Dell support goes we have a few thousand Dell-certified technicians (call center tech supports L1s, L2s, etc). Since Dell support routinely tears down laptops they’ll be able to diagnose these problems. The only problem is knowing one of these people since there isn’t any Dell-accredited support center here. Of course, knowledge is king. For people who need replacements for parts, the Dell laptops are designed for an easy teardown. You will be able to replace those parts if you put the time into it.

    And as for parts being sent under warranty from the USA or anywhere else, just expect that they will be refurbished ones. I haven’t heard of any computer OEM that ships brand-new replacement parts.
