Does anyone know where to get the best price for i mac because i missed the chance to buy it during pc fair any suggetions plz tell me

It's all standard price. Wait for the next fair perhaps

Hong Kong, USA, Dubai. One of the few places where you can get things cheap. Though I wonder how you are going to transfer a iMac back...

PC Fair price's not low also, it's just a bit lower with freebies...

moneyface_mario,
The PC Fair promos for freebies are still valid till Friday, 20th April. I was at Curve earlier and passed Ascend Zone - they were still giving our the PC Fair brochures and the buntings and posters were still up.

As such, I think the PC Fair prices are still valid - just go check out the Apple retail outlet nearest to you

@tinkerbel, I'm with MacAsia, and we've stopped the PC Fair promos, following instructions from Apple Malaysia.

Yep that's what I heard too. Mario I think if you want a promo the best bet is to wait for the next PC Fair, but what for lah. If want get, just get now. You might miss the next pc fair again, then you wait another year, then another year, then another year......

xaw5126,

Since you are with MacAsia, I'll digress a little...
Any student discounts for Apple computer in Malaysia? I know some countries have it. I want to buy one, but can't afford it yet.

how bout machines at midvalley.. go visit them n see..

@xaw5126,
Thanks for the confirmation - I thought the PC Fair promos were till Fri. Am surprised to hear some forumers say Machines' still running the promo and obviously, Ascend Zone at Curve!

@moneyface_mario,
If u want an iMac then go ahead and get it lah. It's not like to say there was a huge cash discount during PC Fair. Just additional freebies like Mouse / Keyboard, which basically comes with the iMac - though they're the wired ones and not the wireless ones but hey, it's still usable wat !!

my sister fren bought a macbook at justpc in imbi aroun 3 weeks ago.
everybody selling rm4399 but she bargained at justpc and get price rm4300 + FREE gifts apple wireless migthy mouse + apple shuffle 1gb + belkin cover bag.

but this macbook.. maybe u can bargained for imac also

lol i guess i hv no choice
i cant wait until the next pc fair i wan my i mac in june
then october just buy the leapord os x software

moneyface_mario,
Choices are aplenty. You just have to decide what you want that's all! What's the difference getting one now and one in June? Or, Y don't u wait till Oct since u wanted Leopard so much instead of getting it in June?

What's so auspicious about June?

Easy, if you are student of any uni in singapore or aussie, just apply for student discount. Definitely entitle to it. As for anything else than this, all brand new Mac are at the same price everywhere in the world, unless secondhand

in usa, how can i get student discount?
im a student, but not in usa.
=)

You will need to show a student ID when you go to the Apple Store. I don't know if they will accept an ID that's not from a school in the US though...

why all bother going such far places = = ~~~

straight forward n simple...

VR Technology in Megan Avenue II near KLCC give 5% discount to all student who can show a photocopy of student ID. i got my macbook there.

there you go...

machines is also givng out discounts for those wif their membership card

i checked machines website, no indication or wat so ever how to become a member n the fee... u know anything bout it ???

Hmm haven't heard of this student ID thingy before(in Malaysia). Moneyface_mario is only in secondary school so how is he actually gonna get this 'student ID'???

dont most secondary school student have student cards ??

some ppl call it school library card or something...

those u used to get student price in gsc n tgv...

it works, i juz photostatmy tarcollege ID for them then i get 5% off my 5299... they din even ask extra question bout my college...

If I'm not mistaken, FREE membership to machines is given with every (or maybe selected?) purchase of a Mac. You an also apply to become a member. Application fee is RM80. I don't know details on duration of membership and renewal.

Go check with Machines by yourself. And btw, the machines members discount card is not applicable to ALL items - some you get 10%, some you get 5%, some items not applicable.

wah, RM10k macpro u get RM1000 off for RM80 wor...
well I'm pretty sure it's not applicable with macpro purchase lol.

@wei,
I dunno if it's applicable. I think the card's discount's not applicable to purchase of Mac systems - but if u do get a MacPro from them, I'm pretty sure they be able to extend their membership card to you FOC *grins*

Nah, I prefer cash discount
later they ask me get rebate to buy stuff from them.

@wei,
I don't know how the Machines membership card works. But the discounts I stated earlier; at 5% and 10% depending on products; are basically cash discounts. If I'm not mistaken I too did see some 'Members Special' but those items are uhm... not something I'll want to get even if it's RM20!! kEKekekEKkeke.... [it might be applicable to some people; just not me...]

But anyhow, it is a cash discount! Just don't tink u'll be able to get that for purchase of machines that's all ! *grins*

Oh, and if i'm not mistaken, HSBC credit cardholders get 5% discount off certain items too - even if u don't have the machine's membership card. At least that's applicable for Crumpler bags.

anyway, I wont be buying any mac this year (hopefully)

wanna buy just go buy , discount a bit also wont feel keh
