the actual price is rm3699, that's it.

the rest are extras. upgrade RAM, upgrade hard drive etc. iwork, mobileme n such, well if u dunno what it is, n not sure if u need it, then dont buy hehe easy as that. if someday later u feel like u want it, then get it later on. no rush. you'll do fine without them

protection plan is a bit tough. i'd advise you to get it. u dont have to buy it together with the MBP, but u need to buy within one year. because you can only activate it during ur MBP's original warranty (1 yr). when ur MBP is older than 1yr, it's not eligible for protection plan anymore. as for the matter of why you should buy ACPP, well anything that comes out of a factory have a chance to break. ACPP will cover for u for 3 years. the way i see it, it's a must for ppl who cant afford to buy a new laptop every 1 year.

nope, im just using Faiyafawkz. i think must be your connection as culprit?
