Whats up with Apple Malaysia marking up the prices of their product? I just checked out the MBPro (15") and the price over here is about 500 USD more than the US pricing with Edu discount (1800 USD) -- even the singapore store is marked up by about 300 USD -- with that amount of extra money I could buy an ipod.

Completely ridiculous with the price inflation -- and I heard there is no computer tax over here?

i couldnt get warranty claim from my own mishandling, could i? all i can hope now is the colour of the keycaps starts to fade, so i have a legit reason to claim warranty as this happens to a lot of mbp keyboards.
Yeah you probably could; just say you don't know what happened smile.gif I remember my ipod splashed into the water before; I went into the apple store in Atlanta and I told them my ipod wasn't working anymore. I told them it just wouldn't turn on. No more questions asked, they replaced it on the spot. Now thats service.

the first one is made by powersupport,

the second one is by a japan company; they sell it in the japanese apple store; not that many good reviews though.

maybe i'll make one, just need to know where to get the materials. theres another one but its expensive as hell, 300 USD>!
