Hi all,

I plan to buy a ASUS G51J laptop priced at USD 1400-1450 from Xoticpc.com (this a US based company). The thing is I am currently in the United Kingdom and there is a 15% Tax on it (meaning I pay extra 150 pounds on tax !!!!!)

I can deal with the extra shipping cost but since I will be back in Malaysia soon, I was wandering how much is the import tax (or any other applicable tax on laptops) will I get in Malaysia ?? If it is cheaper, I might have it shipped to Malaysia instead.


Kind Regards.
