My comment: A PC for as low as P10,800? Would you get one? I posted this blog about 5 months ago and I saw recently one of the shops continued to advertise this deal but a little higher now about P11,000 and I am not sure if it has the same exact specs but its worth checking out against other deals. Also check out the computer locations in my blogs noted at end as well as a cheap shop to assemble your own computer with a processor higher than a Atom processor
Intel, along with Commission for Philippine Information and Communications Technology (CICT), announced today a low-cost PC dubbed as Nettop ng Bayan 2.0.
The updated version of the Nettop ng Bayan (thus the 2.0) is aimed at first-time PC buyers especially those who don’t want to spend much for a PC that’s only going to be used for surfing the web or other online activities.
The P10,800 Nettop ng Bayan 2.0 will have the basic specs of:
Intel Atom Processor
80GB Hardisk
1GB Memory
Keyboard and Mouse
LCD Monitor
There’s no OS included nor an optical drive at that price but dealers can give you options to have them as well as upgrade some parts such as HD, memory, internet plan, etc.
The chassis and monitor size may differ between dealers but the listed specs are the basic that they agreed with Intel to sell for P10,800.

From a comment : Forsaken Destiny on July 29, 2009 We already tested this unit for any flaws. It can still play some decent games, Warcraft 3 included, as long as it meets system requirements on par with Pentium 4. Intel Atom is also a dual core btw…
Upgrade it to 2GB, and it’s also decent for basic image editing. Now, the problem is the CD drive. I’m not worried with this, since Samsung has an external DVD drive for only P3,100 (USB powered, no adapter required).
The hard disk is also expandable, since the system has a SATA port. The biggest flaw of the system, however, is that you can’t upgrade the processor… forever. It’s soldered down the board, so when the board goes down, so does the processor.
Fret not, though. The board only costs P3,500 above. Processor included The posting is from a blog here http://www.waukster.com/nettop-ng-bayan-20-pc-for-p10800/
