Regarding Singapore, I don't have much knowledge on prices there, but the last time I check, due to the GST imposed, the price of the laptops are slightly higher than in Malaysia, but due to the loophole of Malaysians being reimbursed with the GST paid. In the end, the sum should round out to be around the Malaysian price.

Cheers

It all depends are you going to reside in singapore a long period? let's say a few years of studying or working? so it is always better to just buy the notebook at Singapore, Otherwise, can just get from Msia if you are goin there for a year. Just have ur warranty period extended for better reliability. Since Kaiserreich do mentioned the price diff should be not much both in msia or singapore..

for me, i prefer buy locally.

when u r going out, u might need to prepare alot of things and do rmb, u maybe new at there and u're not familiar over there, dun think foreign ppl will very hornest to you... haha.. so, y dun u get it here, u can preload some movie and song some more.. haha..

bout the warranty u can always check with the reseller whether the model u brought got support at the country u'll move to.. its easy while.. buy there lagi mafan... normally lei, if u take good care to ur laptop, it wont have any major problem in time 1 or 2 years, those problem will come out start the third year.. maybe that time u alrd come back, but here no warranty support for the model u brought.. then? "SEI LO..." haha...
