Im planning to build a Pc budget about rm6k. Will be coming back from sg this coming march. Just wondering, is the price difference very big? Warranty or send for repair not really my concern as i will frequently travel back and forth + i have another laptop

i thought SG more expensive?
u can compare better since you are staying there.

Funan Center* has demolished btw..

IMO, sg is slightly cheaper but most of the customizing shop in SG is operated by foreigner, which make me concern.

My bad.. wrong building..

sim lim square no more?
when demolished?

hmmm, if just slightly cheaper then i may as well go lowyat build since im more familiar with that place. I didnt know Sim Lim was demolished.

Sorry, I thought Funan Centre.. Because normally customized pc dealers are there..

Price is cheaper due to short term currencies differences only.

wah dun scare us la.
Sim Lim can consider a landmark in SG liao

I suggest buying from where your main income is. If your income is in SGD, buy in SGD. You lose some money after exchange rate.

But dollar to dollar, i'd say SG is cheaper than Malaysia, for easy comparison you can compare at

hardwarezone.com.my

vs

hardwarezone.com.sg

They have pricelist from most major outlets in both countries, do not that further discounts are still possible, but a good startpoint to check. SG has better consumer regulations, i suggest getting it in SG if you're concerned about warranties and such.

Currency won't be a problem because i have SGD and MYR income (dun ask me why and how). Thanks for the advice

Price wise, hardware in Malaysia is cheaper than Singapore.

So, if you DIY your PC, buy the parts in Malaysia.

lol dont jump the gun, this is not kopitiam and nobody would wanna ask or know how.

Generally speaking, building PC, cheaper in malaysia. Laptops and other one off gadgets, cheaper in SG.

oh. malaysia price always cheaper than Singapore.
you can buy from idealtech MY, mid of 2018, we will open a branch at Singapore and you can get after sales service there.
