Davao Apple Store
I’m of fan of Apple. In particular, the Mac or as it was initially called, the Macintosh. I bought my first Macintosh in October of 1984. That was the one piece 128k model, the original Mac. This was well before hard drives but the Macintosh was the first personal computer to take advantage of the smaller floppy disks that were so popular for many years. Ah, the changes over the years. Geez, I must have had over 20 some different models, possibly a lot more than that. As it sits now, my household has 4 different Apple computers (five if you count the G4 tower on my floor that has issues).
There were many times I thought I’d have to move on to something else, as Apple’s demise was predicted on a regular basis. It was the in thing to do, guess when Apple would be bought or when they would go out of business. Seems pretty funny nowadays.
I’ve spent my time on various PC’s. I can even run Windows on my iMac, if I have a need to. I tired long ago of the debates or wars though; use what you like, need, have, etc. I like Macs.
Who knows what the future holds, especially in the world of computers and electronics, but I expect I’ll still be using some form of a Mac for quite some time. It’s good to know that they are readily available in the Philippines. Even Davao (no, not Samal – there’s an idea!) has a premium Apple authorized dealer, Facebook|Powerhub. I’ve not been there (yet) but it sounds as though they have the full line of Apple products. They are also an accredited service center. You might want to check them out the next time you’re in Davao, if you’re a Mac addict, too.
In Davao City, Powerhub is the only Apple premium reseller that sells all types of Apple desktops and laptops, including iPhone, iPod, software and other accessories.
Powerhub is located at G/F Chimes Specialty Store, Governor Sales St., Davao City. You can also visit their facebook site at powerhub.multiply.com or call (082) 226-2864.

hi randy, i know many long time mac users in davao. in fact, it was a friend of mine from there who convinced me to switch … & that was 5 years ago. i saw a mac dealer in one of the nicer stores when i was last there 2 years ago. then you add powerhub, other independent dealers plus the convenience of a short flight to manila or cebu. you should have no problem getting your mac fix there.
Hi Macky – I figured there must be some other shops in Davao, as when I used to visit my wife in Quezon City there was a store that carried some Macs. They were in an area behind the EDSA SM mall that was all electronics and computer stores. I haven’t had the opportunity to explore Davao for Apple products previously.
This is nice as it seems they carry the full line. I currently usually order online, but not sure that is really an option in the Philippines due to freight costs. Of course, having a service center near by is a big plus, too.
I’ve had many Macs over the years too. It’s good to know I can buy another in Davao. I didn’t know they sold them there.
Hi Kevin – I hadn’t seen them there either, but I’ve hardly been around. Seems I’m always running one place or another when I’m in Davao. I’m certainly going to check them out next trip. Not that I’m going to need to buy one anytime soon.
well, if you ever do have questions on supply or the like, just ask me. i could easily ask my buddies at home via chat. they use mac ALL the time & rarely leave the city. and i don’t mean the old stuff.
Thanks, Macky. Don’t anticipate a need, but I appreciate the offer. You never know though.
Hi Randy! I think there’s also an accredited Apple store in Gaisano Mall of Davao =)
Hi Irene – that’s good to know. The more the better, as far as I’m concerned.
Is this also a Premium Reseller. We don’t use that term, as far as I can tell, in the US. So I assume that means they offer more product and services?
hello, can i ask whats the price of ipodtouch USB cable? thanks..
Hi jhun – you’ll have to call them (see the article for the number) or stop by and ask. They don’t have me on commission yet
Hello there,
I’m looking forward to buy a Mac there.
Thanks for the phone number, not gonna need to head out until I can confirm everything through phone. hehe.
Hi Kevin – I hope it works out for you. Looking forward to visiting them in person myself next year.
Aside from giving myself a gift on my own this christmas which is getting a dot.com.ph domain (teens.com.ph), my parents also surprised me “somehow”, but getting me a 15″ MBP 2.66gHz which he bought at the Apple Online Store since wala pa silang stock nito sa Davao hehe.
Yaay, Mac na talaga ako. Okay sana dun sa Powerhub since they sell for prices like the Apple Store and even cheaper when you pay in cash, kaso yun nga, wala silang stock nung 15″er
Hi Kevin – wish my Bisaya was a little better but I think you’re saying there was no stock in Davao, so they ordered the MacBook Pro online directly from Apple. I wonder how much the shipping is on something like that.
Anyway congrats on the new Mac. I’m sure you’ll be very happy with it.
Good luck with the new domain, too.
hi hello i thnk i buy an another mac comp bcoz i want to collect it all?astig its all amazing

Hi grey magz – you’ll have to give them a call or stop by. There are a couple of sizes and various configurations. I don’t know what they carry. Good luck with your search.
Just dropping by on this thread article again. I’m now a Mac User, finally! heheh.
Welcome to the club!
