I'm a Malaysian currently working in SG, and I would like to purchase a gaming laptop in JB (via installment as I'm a poor af workslave). However I'm really clueless as to which places I can go to for laptop purchases in JB during my off-day Sundays. I did check out a few old threads relating to this question, but those threads are too old to rely upon (eg. a few shops already closed down in KSL) and no one seems to be asking this question.

I'm looking for Dell G7 7790 (2019) but the shops I've been to either do not have ready stock, or is overpriced. The shops I've been to are
1. JBCS (only GRex there and they do not have any Dell laptops)
2. KSL (does not even have a PC shop OMG)
3. Midvalley Southkey (there's a Dell retail shop there but the price is RRP, and they also do not have ready stock)
4. EIT store (closes on Sundays and PHs which makes me hard to make a Sunday walk-in)

I tried searching Google Maps for other shops but most shops do not look reliable enough to make a visit (since Grab rides cost a lot if I scout around too much). I saw someone mention a few shops Danga City Bay Mall, so I'll probably check that out next Sunday.

Are there any JBians here who can recommend PC shops in JB that may sell high spec laptops with a good market price? I'm juggling between Acer Predator Helios 300 (2019) and Dell G7 7790 (2019), but I may also be looking at other available i7-9750h + GTX1660Ti/RTX2060 laptops.

I would really like to purchase online, but I don't have a valid shipping address in JB to pick up from, thus the dilemma. And also, shipping it directly to SG would cost way too much compared to buying it in Malaysia and "smuggle" into SG.

Why not just buy from SG? Are their laptop prices higher than Malaysia's price?

Laptop prices are typically higher in SG compared to MY (electronic prices are higher in general), a same laptop model could cost RM800~1000 more if you buy in SG.
I did scout around for laptop prices all around SG, and I noticed that even with discounts, SG prices still cost more than MY prices by RM400~500.

How fast do you need it ? Maybe if you really do want to save money to buy it at home and then something must really be done there totally and correctly out there for many many reasons. How else you could be compared with that much profit ? I am not totally done.
