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.

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?

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

Too bad your friend did not realize the magics of internet where you can check the price of laptops bought in foreign land first before going there.

the General Rule is, find out the place you are going to, do research on the price offered there and here, compare the warranty offered, and make your decision
