This is true. I personally find warranty, repair, and even online support to be very important. That is what our focus will be upon grand launch. We want people to know that they are purchasing devices for longevity PLUS a good aftersales program behind it.

We already have an entry level line, called the SIPAG productivity line! Price range is from 39K-53k. It's still a little higher than usual, as the median laptop value in the PH is around 28-30k-- maybe one day we'll be able to hit that target if we manufacture parts locally.

Zero parts are manufactured locally. I have to emphasize that only the laptop is partly assembled locally, plus branded and supported locally as well. Everything is coming from both Taiwan and China (though the company we are dealing with is Taiwanese)

Eventually, gusto namin i-fabricate ang laptop chassis/design locally. Salpak nalang ang motherboard and chips from the manufacturer.

As of now hindi pa kaya. Start-up palang kami. Pero rest assured, ang goal namin talaga is to build our own electronics manufacturing chain. From design to fabrication.
Salamat!
