Hi all,
This topic just in time. I'm getting a Macbook Pro from Australia and wondering the same question with the tax, anybody brought back from aus before? My friend should be bringing his laptop back along too, might not have another hand for my MBP  . If check in the whole box as luggage , is it safe?Thanks |

Thanks lailaikatong,nando and tishaban. 1 Personal & 1 Business is a very good reason
 . Guess I'll hav to ask him to hand carry then.QUOTE(lailaikatong @ Jun 27 2007, 10:35 AM) With the current exchange rate, buying a mbp from australia would only be worth it with education discount and GST refunds... Compared with malaysian prices, you'd save RM546(2.2 15") / RM472(2.4 15") / RM604(2.4 17")... To be eligible for the 10% GST refunds, u gotta buy the notebook 30 days before flying out and the item must be shown along with the purchase receipt to the customs officers at the airport... Hence, you'd wanna get your friend to bring it on as hand carry luggage... Checking in a MBP even if it's still in the original packaging isn't a good idea, coz the box is quite thin, small and fragile... Someone could easily steal it from the luggage carousel without anyone noticing too.. so yeah, get ur friend to bring it on board Yeah GST and tax refunds.  To be eligible for the 10% GST refunds, u gotta buy the notebook 30 days before flying out and the item must be shown along with the purchase receipt to the customs officers at the airport... Hmm sorry not very clear about this. Just for the info, that means if you buy laptop from aus and bring back msia sure got 10%GST refunds? I think I have GST refund by default, just worry if there's extra charges from Australia side at the airport. Thanks |

Dear all,
Thanks for all the replies. I'm getting my MBP tomorrow!  Just wanna know if I can use those universal travel adaptor converter from carrefour (the adaptor is Australia version) so I can use it in Malaysia. I mean is it safe for long term? Or do i need to get a specific one from apple malaysia (I bet it's gonna cost)? Thanks |
