wow.. really scary after reading so many problem of the Asus warranty service. Thought of getting a 13" zenbook prime touch but now need to seriously reconsider. Might just get the real thing - MacBook Air 13" instead.

EDIT: btw, possible to send the laptop to Asus singapore for service if the model has international warranty? thanks.

thanks for the info. I think normally service centre in Singapore is kinda better, especially much more convenient to JB ppl. Yes, just check the pricelists of Asus laptop offered in the latest PC Show in Singapore, the prices are about 20% more expensive than in Malaysia.

My sister is using a Asus laptop, should be N-series i think, as recommended by me previously. It runs good up to today *touch wood*.

On second thought, getting a MacBook Air 13" and dual boot to windows 7 might be a better choice, since the only essential Windows software is my office accounting software which i only need it in emergency/backup just in case. For all other functions - MS Office, Outlook, Photoshop, etc can run in MacOS now already compared to a decade ago. Have been fancy to try Mac OS since ages ago.

GST only 7% but the difference is 20%. No need windows 8. Bought it with the RM50 promo code and install in my desktop but sometime playing BF3 will get DirectX error....zzZZzzzz..... Just reinstall Windows 7 in another SSD and so happy going back to Windows 7 (with the Start Button). Might just stay permanently in Windows 7 and burn the RM50 Windows 8.

Will only consider windows 8 if i get the Asus Zenbook Prime Touch 13.3" Full HD. Btw, this model is not yet arrive in Malaysia? Can't seems to find it at the garage. How much roughly the price?

lol... there goes the sales of another Asus Zenbook. I will get a MacBook Air then, if i need to change my laptop soon. Thanks for all the honest and frank sharing of user experience.

i can't figure out too - maybe due to the current Win 8 hype. Btw, Windows 8 UI is really terrible. Windows 7 is still more effective and efficient to get things done.

Since i dun really need a new laptop at the moment, will wait until Macbook Air get the Haswell refresh mid this year.
