Sorry cant help you popa.... Never owned a mac before as this is my first mac... Maybe can try ask this in other mac forums available in the internet... Try googling also may help


Added on April 19, 2010, 4:57 pmMaybe they dont stop at Singpore already and straight to Subang? As this will definitely increase the cost of shipping the product right? So there is a possibility it might bypass Singapore and head straight to Malaysia =D

Online we can get the education price which is RM200 cheaper compared to retail shops... Furthermore all these newly released products tend to have less stocks in retail shops thus getting online would be better as they deliver to your doorstep and also you can customize them =D... Depend on individual as some people have bad experience buying from shops but some still prefer to get them at shops so all up to you

Yeap shop they offer installments for certain credit cards.. As I know Citibank and Maybank confirm have installment plans at 0% interest rates... Can have a look... Actually online buy also can have installments depending on your credit card but they will charge a 3% handling fee but one time deal only... Like for me I did that and at least save almost RM100++ after including the 3% handling fee... Unless you cannot wait to have the MBP then you can go ahead buy it at the stores... But mostly now should be short of stock.. Better call them up before going =D

bro...can u explain how did u can save up to rm10++. another noob question, what is the requirement only can get educational price?

Requirement you can read at the apple store website as the link below:

http://store.apple.com/Catalog/Singapore/Images/tcMYedu.htm

There you just click I accept if you agree to the terms... Make sure you read 1st la... Should be anyone also can accept.. SO should be no problem



I save around RM100++ Cause of education price save me RM300 already.. Then I ask my credit card for 12 months installment but they charge me 3% handling fee... SO you take 3% x your macbook price then take RM300 minus the result and you get what you save. Simple maths.

Hey there,

First of all, all accessories for macbook/apple in general are quite expensive and you have to spend on them =D
1) Yea invisible shield available. Its around RM170 as quoted in the garage sales... You can find more of them in the search function. Here is a sample link
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...nvisible+shield

2) Most ppl get mushi palmguard which cost around RM120 (palm guard protector including the trackpack protector also - it didnt state there but just let you know =) )

3) Im not so sure about sleeves you can check out the thread at the link below:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/994556


QUOTE(jind86 @ Apr 20 2010, 12:18 AM)
can someone who purchased the 13" MBP post up their order status from date purchased to current status.. would just like to take a look at how it is =)

thanks..


Added on April 20, 2010, 12:21 amand do you guys track from the apple site or from DHL?

i ordered yesterday nite, no update yet: item not shipped sad.gif

Im not sure about yours but mine they start ship out today when I already ordered Saturday morning.. SO maybe tomorrow there will be updates for you.. Mine is still in Singapore.. If you customize your macbook then it will start at CHina and may take longer than normal spec.


Added on April 20, 2010, 12:29 amMine also stuck at not ship out until this morning...

No problem... glad I could help =D... Btw you can search more stuff in the garage sales for these type of accessories... Or maybe google for macbook accessories/sleeves/covers/etc and once you like a product then come into the garage sales and search for that item to see if any forumers bringing in.. Have fun!
