I bought my wife a netbook in Robinsons in Phils and I think it was just a little bit cheaper than here in the UK but not much. I have bought many things on ebay over the years but never a laptop. I looked once but didnt see much that appealed and decided to just buy from the shops locally in the UK.

My personal choice, weighing all up, would be to send cash so that the person at the other end could buy the laptop in Phils............
