Guys,
Need some guidiance here... i'm planning to get my 1st MBP from the States... will I get any problem in terms of warranty in MY/SG, custom clearance or anything?... Or is there any thing that i should know about buying from the States and using it overhere??

Thanks in advance...

DO read the buyers guide pinned at the stickies section you'll find the answers in the warranty section and also buying from overseas. This questions have been asked so many times.

you may order CTO mac product from reseller,but it will take time to arrive and full payment is required.apple reseller cant offer you education price as stated on applestore malaysia even you can proove you are a student,but still some discount can be given

thanks nimrod323...

does tat mean if i buy from online store, I no need to prove I'm a student?

The question is are you a student or are you not a student, the online store does ask for verification, do not abuse the system if you are not a student, period.

My "Ultimate 13.3" MBA" is already in Subang! Too bad they dont do delivery today, and I'm working tomorrow!

I'm a student of course
but the online store is down for the moment...Apple is updating the store..wonder any surprise for us on halloween

I flip-flopped between 11.6" and 13.3" model. I initially wanted to get the "Ultimate 11.6" MBA" model, but after reading up ArsTechnica on the relevance of getting 2/4GB RAM on the new MBA, I decided that 2GB is enough. I was in Apple Store Chadstone in Melbourne at that time and they have the 11.6" model with 2GB RAM in stock, so I bought it there and amended the online order straight up to the "Ultimate 13.3" MBA". The amendment prolonged the order period to what it is now.

My MBA 11.6" status has changed to shipped since 28th but for whatever reasons, it's still in Shanghai. The email I got states "Delivers by 1/11/2010". If it's still in Shanghai, can I hope to get my MBA tomorrow?

Plug your airwaybill number into www.dhl.com.my and see if there's any updated info.

Impossible that yours shipped the same time as the lot of us and not getting it by then.

Well, it's still in Shanghai. Nothing has changed.
CAn I actually call them to find out what's going on?

You can try, but they're closed today. I tried calling them today to see if I can self-pickup my order, but all I get are recorded messages on their toll free number. Even so, they'll be referring to the same information on their terminal based on the airwaybill number you give them that gives out the same data. Best to wait for the shipping info to update itself before calling.

Hey guess what.. I called their 1800 number and a guy picked up immediately. I gave him my tracking number and he says my package is already in Malaysia and will be delivered tomorrow. So their website for tracking is basically useless.. duh..

@Edoras : I placed the order on the 24th and got the "Shipment" email on the 28th.

Damnit! Calling now!

^ Hahaha.. Good luck. Maybe u can get your Ultimate MBA today.

Made that call. The personnel said that although the package has been cleared by customs, it is still there at the customs checkpoint at the airport. DHL liasing delivery staff will only be picking up these released orders by tomorrow at 9am before distributing it into delivery vans to customers. Looks like I'll be missing my delivery as I have to leave my house by 6 am tomorrow for work.

I asked if I can self-collect. She said it's impossible since the customs people need to liase with DHL rep to release the packages. Self-collect is only available if the package is already at the DHL hub.
