The shop in Sunway Pyramid Confirmed that they can get MBP for me Yesterday, but called back again to say their stock got delayed so, have to wait till Monday.

wawa, reaching this monday ? i go pester my dad to buy me one of these

hehe.. i've been pestering my dad for 3 years

Haha, wad did he say each time you ask?

I think the Core2 Duo has 2 distinct advantages over the Core Duo.

1. It offers faster and better performance (20-30% quicker on some tasks)
2. Uses less power and runs cooler.

I am awaiting for the processor market to be flooded with Merom chips for me to upgrade my iMac Intel 1.83Ghz Core Duo. Pure plug and play with the current board.

hehe.. he doesnt have that much money.. 'maybe later, when you relly need it' thats what he said.


I called VR tech, and they said they have already ordered the stock, but its not available yet!

So now waiting for Sunway Macasia to open (probably they won't have it either, but they said they will refund my booking money )

You can always direct order from Apple Store Singapore or USA if you can't wait.

They don't ship internationally.

I emailed CG, they said their C2D MPB stock will arrive in 2 weeks. I wanna get one ASAP though, so if you guys know any place that has stock please post..

If I'm not mistaken, Mike got his iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation through Apple Singapore. Perhaps the policy on computers is different ?

really? hmm hmm....

I've call them on this before, their reply is:
- For shipping, you have to have a valid Singapore address.
- To buy online, your CC must be addressed in Singapore.
- They don't ship oversea, not even to Johor.

u guys are so rich..can get MBP...alwiz wanted to get one but it's really out of budget... sigh.. just can drool over it...

After what happened here I pretty much doubt "Mike"'s credibility.

Saved up a long time lar.

I was unaware of Apple's shipping policy. Hmm!

Thanks for linking me, R-K-F. Amusing. Going to look through the rest of his uploaded photos? :|

i know i am......

anyway, i called apple sg when i wanted to buy a shuffle 2g.....and they say cannot be shipped outside of sg.....

and in their online store....only sg address accepted.....

going to sg this december for holidays.....hope to get a shuffle 2g if $$$ permits...

and gonne get another ipod next year coz my friend going to japan! hahahaha....

So, can you buy shuffle in sg and bring it back to malaysia?

You can physically set foot in Singapore and bring the goods back to Malaysia, yes. Provided you aren't coming back to Malaysia with your suitcases filled to the brim with unopened iPods, no flags will be raised with Customs.

Thanks yetieater for your information

Well, i am not sure whether you all have know this or not, but i would like to share with you all.

Yes, interested in buying macbook too. Hope they will release the core 2 duo version.

Apple Computer may be ready to update its MacBook line of consumer notebooks with Intel Corp.'s Core 2 Duo processors as early as this week, tipsters tell AppleInsider.

Rumors relating to specific release dates for the enhanced 13-inch notebooks have swirled in recent weeks, fueled in part by European resellers who continue to report little success in obtaining new stock of existing Core Duo-based models.

Those rumors were stoked further last week when web surfers stumbled upon some unusual listings at Play.com, a European Apple reseller which abruptly began accepting pre-orders for several unannounced Core 2 Duo-based MacBook models through its online store.

Now tipsters tell AppleInsider that three new Apple hardware products are en-route the U.S. this week, carrying previously unoccupied manufacturers part numbers MA699LL/A, MA700LL/A and MA701LL/A.

Apple's existing line of MacBooks are similarly available in three standard retail configurations: two white-colored models (1.83GHz and 2.0GHz) and a single black model (also 2.0GHz). They range in price from (U.S.) $1099 to (U.S.) $1499.

While AppleInsider has been unable to positively confirm the latest product rumblings pertain specifically to MacBooks, the reports are similar to those that appeared in the days and hours leading up to Apple's announcement of Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pro models late last month.

In September, AppleInsider reported that Mac maker had wrapped up development of revised MacBook and MacBook Pro models, each of which would sport Core 2 Duo chips from Intel. People familiar with the company's plans said both lines were tracking for a release prior to the holiday shopping season, which has historically seen its initial surge the day after Thanksgiving.

On Oct. 24, Apple introduced 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro models with Core 2 Duo processors, leaving only its 13-inch MacBook offerings with Core Duo chips.

Erm, if buying from sg...is the warranty applied to other countries? or u have to go back to sg?
