I, too, am from the Philippines and would very much like to order one, but my concern isn't primarily the price or the shipping fee.
My concern is if it would actually get here.
I have an aunt in UK who would send us cards with dried leaves, and it would arrive in our mailbox cut open or it wouldn't arrive at all.
I wouldn't risk a laptop.
I would like a 2-in-1 version of the same form factor. They can keep the general layout of the innards but modify the screen, upper end of the body, and the hinge.
