guys, just to confirm, before i start ordering more
personal computer, laptop should not be tax right?

nope. but the question is, how many unit count?

imma asking about quantity because you know.. uhh... greater number = greater risk to be disturbed by hungry <insert party here>...

If u ship in by one pallet, then best is to get shipping company to help u out. They know how to get the customs clearence and letter of release. If u wanna do it urself u can always visit one of those customs office, kelana got one, port klang also got one. I been thru those few years back, not as bad as people say but do beware of those sneaky people around which claim they r agents. If u ask the customs people nicely they will guide u, just dun let those "agents" mislead u.

But best is to ship small quantity 1st like wut I do, then only take more. Once ur item is in their record usually subsequent units will clear faster. One thing I need to warn tho, especially for A1 and A2 spec, as the bag is included, bag is suppose to be taxed, but if they never find it out, or they assume this is part of the laptop it won't be taxed. Just like recently I got a customs officer question me, LCD is consider TV or computer LCD ? I had to answer computer LCD. If I say it's also able to be used as "TV" then it will be taxed.

And also if u bring in big quantity of pc or laptops, means ur doing business by selling it, so they will kacau u abit coz ur earning money from it. If personal bringin one or two unit, konon for relatives or sumthing they might close one eye. Everything in the eye of customs officer ur earning money by bringin it in will involve kopi o, kopi kao, kopi susu, or teh.

Do note tho, normally I ship pc stuff by shipping agents thru my company, the G73JH i'm ordering now is for my personal so it's my 1st time letting USPS or Fedex or DHL or UPS handle it. Actually I got think of bringin in few units and sell here, but so far I don't wanna risk anything yet. Best is to bring in small quantity and see how it goes. I seen a few online stores givin diff item when they ship especially from Amazon and Ebay. Customer order A1 or A2 spec but got X3 spec n others. Or even worst their bag and mouse is not included. But can't blame them coz price is really cheaper than the A1 or A2 spec.

Added on May 23, 2010, 9:30 amDefinitely will get some trouble if many units r being imported unless u get shipping agent to handle it. But how will corallinkz bring in ? As I mention earlier if they have the Asus G73JH in the database they r suppose not to tax it as it's in their records it's a laptop. But nobody can argue with them as long as they have the authority, skali RM 50 duit kopi settle they purposely tahan ur item coz we argue with them and end up one week or one month they dun wanna release it coz they claim need to verify it's a pc or laptop or sum other thing.
But those r the horror stories it might happen so far my experience with customs r quite ok, but that's with the port klang and kelana customs. I haven't experience the sepang customs yet.

Well I would suggest gentech as they ship mine the day I paid. Now awaiting for shipping out from US to Malaysia. My item is at the hands of usps edi. Really fast compared to others. If u want to make it faster u can opt for the USD 332.45 shipment which I check from UPS will arrive around this week. Do note, USPS and UPS is two different shipping company.

But 1st things 1st, gentech can ship mine out coz they currently have stock, not sure how long their stock last but as far as I know A2 is in stock but how many units I am not sure. Once mine arrive I might be ordering another unit for my cousin.

Try to get ur money back 1st or resolution from mucro asia, I also almost went for them coz it's nearest, but due to their stock and no confirmation on availability, i went for gentech as they are the few have stock.

Hehehe . . . I got online mar . . . Yea, better opt for the default specifications of A2. I believe that it will be faster to be shipped out.

should i get the 'No Dead Pixel Warranty'

still waiting for KenL for the reply... (but i am not permitted to pm in the nbr forum) So i email him.

thanks for the help guys!

IMHO, you do not need to add it.

You are not permitted to PM in NBR? Maybe you are still not registered at NBR discussion forum as a member? Anyway, e-mail him is as good as PM him as well. No worry!

Seriously I can't sleep lately, ordered one G73JH and one M15X now waiting for these 2 toys to arrive. Not sure which will arrive earlier I believe the Alienware will arrive sooner as they use fedex.

I think ASUS has a 30 day no pixel warranty unlike Some other brands heh. Unless you want to warranty it for longer and have lost of dough in your bank . . then I see no reason in purchasing that. However, don't take my word for it . . its been a month or two since i researched about the laptop heh...go do your homework

I remember many posts back there's one member who had problem with their LCD and had to wait for almost one month to get replacement ? It's quite ok as locally G73 is not even launched. But to wait for 1 month if got dead pixel or sumthing is quite saddening.

You ordered yourself an Alienware M15X?

Yep, got a very good offer which I can't resist so after ordering the G73JH-A2 I ordered a M15X. Really can't decide on which so I took both and maybe using one for traveling and another for gaming.

Nevertheless, Alienware M15X is quite heavy too. Don't you think so? Anyway, where did you get it? From Dell.com.my?
