For anyone intending to import the thinkpad from US, below are some informations:

Those having HSBC card, you can refer to this link http://www.hsbc.com.my/1/2/personal-bankin...online-shopping.

Those having Maybank American Express, you can check out Maybank website where they are having a "Maybank Promotions", search for "American Express Global eShop"

At the moment in malaysia, only HSBC and Maybank allow you to buy from US and then ship to malaysia.

For custom clearance, those interested will have to check out Malaysia Customs for tax amount. If you are have any relatives in singapore, you can try and ship the parcels to singapore, tax calculation is easier to calculate, 5% + CIF value of the items. Do note if you intend to ship the items to singapore, HSBC and Maybank credit card will not allow you to do so. In order to ship to singapore, you will need to use a singapore credit card.

For those that do not have the cards as mention but would still like to buy from US, you can goggle found a mail forwarding service like Bongo, Access USA to help direct the shipment to Malaysia.

Hope the information will be useful to all. All this are done at own risk.

@kege
Thanks for the rep point

I have not heard anything before about not able to ship complete laptop(with cells) to singapore. The tax calculation is what the officer tell me after i call up the singapore customs.

their immediate reaction was, whoa this is "olskool" laptop 
due to dull,blank & squarish design 
and their nvr heard IBM brand b4.....most of them using Acer,Dell & HP lappie....

huh!?!? *looks at your siggie*

anyone here can assist me in getting a good ibm x60s 8 cell battery? Original cost a BOOM > rm 1K

unless you don't have a budget then go for the x300!!! go youtube x300 vs macbook air

let's have a small poll for favourite trackpoints: classic, flat and rim.

when i first got my r61, i favoured the classic trackpoint the most. but after testing the other trackpoints over a few days, i find that the flat trackpoint (default one) is the most comfortable to use. the classic is great too, but it gets really dirty really fast. i've even tried cleaning it (and probably damaging it with overly aggressive scrubbing)

hi thinkpad'ers.....
juz re-apply new thermal paste on procc.
i wonder why there is no difference temp. b4 and after new thermal paste applied...
still stay around same range on idle 47-49c while on load 66-70c
is that ideal temp?
coz when i opened, i see's those old thermal paste alredi dried & hardened......

wow ur 1 very low eh....35-45c thats very cool....btw izzit standalone? i mean with cooler pad or anything?
yes, i did clean out those dust in fan....

ooh ya, da FW u mean Firm Ware update?
but i'm usin old model R52 i dun think got FW update....

yea, my heatsink fan still work normal....
now i'm usin a software for control da fan speed manually then could archive lower temp.

Talk about heat.. the exhaust of my X31 is conveniently placed on the RIGHT side of the unit itself.. blowing hot air towards my palm.. my X31 gets real hot man.. i wonder why.. put on the table / flat surface also the same..
