Which one’s your favorite gadget store?

Listen to article

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 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026

I often get questions from readers which places (i.e. gadget stores) are among the best in the country? I don’t have a very comprehensive list and experience with a lot of them, especially the online-only stores.

For most of the time, I can only advise if a store is indeed a legit one and sometimes I also vouch for the ones that I personally know the owners or site operators.

Other gadget stores have their own following — including the ones in Hidalgo (famous for camera shops) and the sizable Multiply sellers. The PC stores have their own following too.

Sometimes, it’s not just about which stores give the best prices but also because of customer service, accessibility or they offer a unique value proposition (e.g, InfoMaxx sells one of the most expensive gadgets around but some people still flock them because they usually bring them in most gray market gadgets ahead of almost everyone).

So, hit up the comments if you have a favorite pick.

@Chester: Ok ang CMK, mababait ang staff at mabilis ang service. Mga binili kong phones maayos at walang defect, they are: HTC Desire, Nokia 5800, Samsung Star WIFI and a Nokia feature phone I can’t remember the model.

Since hindi pa ako nakakuha nang defective unit sa kanila, wala akong idea kung pano nila hina handle ang ganung situation.

dbgadgets!reasonably priced items plus trustworthy seller.^^

Below 1k gadgets – CDRKing (if available)

Above 1k gadgets and stuffs – Anywhere that offers sensible pricing for a specific stuff… Not always the cheapest store but the one that offers the best bang for the buck. Wouldn’t buy a thing without looking around first…

Stores I’ve tried and has zero problem with my transactions with them:
a) PC Corner (Gilmore)
b) PC Express (Gilmore)
c) Rising Sun Computers
d) OpenPinoy Greenhills (second hand items)
e) Accent Micro (SM Pampanga)

@titter

seems you’re the one who doesn’t know the difference b/w advice and advise LOL!

YuYu · 15 years ago

for some unknown reason, i almost always end up going to PCOptions for PC stuff.

batman · 15 years ago

@titter- yup indeed simple words. And I cant seem to find anything wrong with the words used. :)

advise- verb
advice-noun

Totter · 15 years ago

@Titter: You should be the one reviewing your gradeschool notes bro. There is nothing wrong with ‘advise’ as used in this blog post.

Newbie · 15 years ago

Tanong lang para sa mga bumili iphone4/ipod touch 4th gen sa kimstore, gumagana facetime nyo?

Christian Casino · 15 years ago

Accent Micro in all leading malls
and CD-R King :)

Titter · 15 years ago

Yuga, seriously, you need to learn the difference between advice and advise. I’m not necessarily aiming for your grammar but dude those are simple words.

Jon · 15 years ago

Mostly I buy online via Tipidpc or similar sites. Retail stores sell really at a high price. Also, online stores most time get the newest gadgets first.

WILDER · 15 years ago

R*Sun; selected cool and cheap accessory items at CD-R King
