hi.. for sum1 who'l b going overseas to study, do u think its better to get a laptop now locally or buy when overseas? main worries are regarding d warranties and services in case sumthg happnd to it thr if buy here..

Which overseas country are u referring to? If is UK then I think u better get one in Malaysia. Cause u can bargain and get some free stuff. But in uk. They say one is one no discount or bargain.( May be depend on ur skill. I never get any cheaper.) So I'm suffering now.

MALAYSIA BOLEH ^ ^ .......... bincang ....

how long are you goin for study ?

ya ..you should buy from msia ..so infuture if u back to msia and wan find parts also easy ... and also check those international warranty got imclude the country u are goin for studies..

ya .. later buy already no warranty .. thn die lor ^ ^

r u trying to gain post count ? i didnt see any meaning on all ur recent post count

not really .. coz gaining post count din make me any different ^ ^
well meaning or no meaning is depends on 1's thinking lar ^ ^
if u think my post is meaningless .... well ... jz avoid it ^ ^
if my post is really meaningless ... i think mod will delete it ... right ??
cheers ... no offend ^ ^

i will say buy at local. n local notebook do have international warrnty of it. check before u buy.

dun buy 'water' notebook. dont think u can pass the kastam.

yeah ... now many water goods ... ^ ^

normally u use in asia pacific i think most of the brand u can buy larr ..
but if lets say out of asia pacific dont buy compaq ..
coz jz cover in asia pacific only ...

First, where are u going to study?

If is those technological advance country.. u can get a better deal with cheaper price

get international warranty for ur product lor

We lack input. To name a few, where do you study and what laptop is in your mind. If apple mac is an option and you happen to study in the states or U.K then you might want to enjoy the student rebate. Needless to say the additional spec that you might get.

Warranty is not an issue as long as the manufacturer provide worldwide warranty such as Toshiba and of course Apple.

yes, get a laptop oversea if it's alienware.
anyway, the choice is up to you. but imho, if you are studying/working in oversea for quite a long time, buying at the country where you are studying and working should be ok! no need to worry about getting international warranty.

call up dell n ask if they have service centres ther, i assume dell is the widest international warranty.

Laptops and other electrical stuffs in the UK and even in Australia are generally much more expensive than in Malaysia due to their GST and other taxes. I reckon you better get one in Malaysia and make sure you get yourself some international warranty.

if u can;t get much feedback in Ireland then it is better to just get a unit here ...i am thinking that it is better for you to make up ur mind on which laptop or at least the brand u wan ..to futher narrow your choices first ...

major brand like dell, toshiba and ibm/lenovo will do.

my best bet will be dell because they practice no distributorship world wide. your service still back 2 back to dell direct.

For crying out loud, Dell has an assembly plant there, just like Malaysia.

I'd advise TS to check out the common price of laptops in Ireland. I'd assume TS is headed for Dublin, but would like TS to confirm this. In general, European goods are much more expensive than Malaysia's.

Should TS is headed for Dublin, the service centers of various international brands should be easily available. And it is advisable to extend your warranty to the maximum for a peace of your mind. And since TS is headed for Ireland, try to stick with internationally renowned brands, Dell, HP, Lenovo, just to name a few.

Dell and Lenovo has service center there ..HP too ..so try select models from these brands.

What are you trying to do here, reinforce my point or what? If so, would you mind adding some constructive comments instead of a one liner?

This post of mine is a spamming post just to ask you, are you trying to spam or what?
