Glad to hear that I helped a little, well honeykreme I asked one of my colleagues and he is from the Philippines about few things and I come up with this: It depends upon what do you want. If the budget is not important to you and you want the latest and most updated once, buy your laptop from Qatar. If the budget is an issue and you are not looking for the latest specifications for a laptop, then buy it from the Philipines.
The equation goes like that from what he told me:
Less money, less good specification [get it from Philippines].
Little more money, more good configuration [get it from Qatar].
He told me that the market here in Qatar [Especially IT Market]get updated here more frequently than there in the Philippines. My advice to buy it from here, but if you are planning to buy it from there make sure to get along with the laptop the 'International Warranty' so they can fix your laptop here with no problems while it is under warranty. Go for HP while their prices are good and they got a good support here in Doha. Other brands got no good support or proper customer service centers. If Dell or Toshiba [by the way don't get near Toshiba or Acer] service center will take 3 weeks to fix your laptop, HP would not take more than a week.
Wish you the best and welcome to Dohaaaa Qataaar :)
Magandang Hapon :)
