I’m aware of Samsung’s announcement of the debut of these notebooks. The Samsung R440 has nice specs but its pricetag of Php 39,990 is a bit expensive for me. I would rather buy Dell, Asus or Acer notebook with the same specs.

The price is really close enough with the US one.. Dell, well, I won’t say Anything..

The prices are quite good cmopared to acer and Asus.. remember that the GT 330 is a little faster than ATI 5470 that ACer and Asus has for a lower price..

55k for the Core i5 + Geforce GT 330M build? Yeah, it’s expensive… but worth it especially if you’re comparing it with other premium hardware like Apple.

At 13-inch white macbook prices you get something similar to 15-inch macbook pro internals.
