Hai yah,

So disappointed this time around, no Apple stall from any of the apple reseller partners.

Here is what happened to me. I asked the PIKOM booth for information, and the first girl say... "Apple ar? got got...go behind Hall 5.... very belakang one"... I went all the way back, only to find a small iPod reseller. I thought she misheard me say "Acer", because there is a large Acer booth next to it. Mana tau, ask her again, she said it *is* the small iPod reseller.

Keeping my cool, I dumbed down to her level and asked "Arh.... I want Apple notebook la (afraid that she don't know what a MacBook is)... she then say..er.. I dunno wo...".

Her senior, next to her, overheard and told me boldly "I saw some promoter girl wearing Apple white shirt, should be them, around Hall 1 or 2". All the way back to Hall 1 I go.... Found the promoter girls...but but..hor... they are promoting Philips for ALL IT ler...



Went back to PIKOM booth, confirmed with the boss that none of the big Apple resellers are here this time around. So sad.

heh heh. Contact Patrick (Apple Malaysia) 03 27111888 to share your pain.

Just to add, as I was leaving the PIKOM booth, I heard another brother asking the same question....

OMG ................

nah! i think i want go and see what macbook is offering. i think i should laid off for now.

Maybe they setup tmr and sunday?

That's a surprise, when I asked MacCity, one of their staffs actually said that they are participating, apparently....not.

Darn!

MacCity? Nope, not listed in the Show Guide which I got from PIKOM booth...

just went PC fair... I also din see apple store/booth too...

Just cause they aren't at the PC Fair doesn't mean they aren't offering deals Just go check out at the usual stores but if I know Apple well enough, there's not gonna be much sales going on *grins*

Hence, no point waiting, just get it when u want to get it

apple so cold mer? aiya... tot of going over to PC fair to check out the lastest iMac ler. now nonit go loo...

I was there.. i saw Mac city booth.. Hall 5 Second lane from left.

i saw epicentre booth at there also, if not mistaken hall 5

Hey guys, just got back from the fair myself too. There are both Epicentre and Mac City booths in hall 5, though they are considered really tiny ones with barely any Macs on display except one big iMac in Epicentre's booth.

Fairly disappointing this time around compared to the previous fair. Mostly iPod accessories and sort.

Maybe they are pushing the IPOD's this time around.

go Machines at KLCC. they got offer there ~

only got EpiCentre hiding somewhere Hall 2.

Bleh!

Wanted to go and try out a MacBook

I'll try my luck tomorrow, they might have decided to open on Sat.

i read through the guide book..and yes..the is no apple reseller such as machines, macasia...and any all the big ones...only got epicenter and mac city.. and they also no extra gift...better just go machines and buy..got 0 interest installment summore!

Guys, switch @ sogo is doing some cool Xmas promotion with rebates on mac machines and free items for their iPods.... Better go check it out.

i sense mac is trying to lagak already . they knew if u want to buy , go to mac store please.
ya , i am quite disappointed .

but i feel quite siok becasue it makes mac feel classy and exquisite .

Wow, I guess being a Mac user really makes you as happy as TS. He looks so damn happy!

FYI - Mac City has taken over MacAsia.

Yeah, we don't need to advertise our products. If you know it, good then maybe buy. If not, nevermind. That's why Apple has their own store to sell their own products. Not like all mix brand like Acer/Sony/HP/Dell bla bla bla, you can see all those in every stores.

Guys, can tell me where can i buy Ipod Nano?? I planned to go to the Pc Fair(KLCC) later to see if i can buy from there.. but saw this topic saying that no IPod Stall around.. how? And can tell me the Ipod Nano price too? Thanks for helping..

i went there too. ya... tiny tiny small store... i hardly find ehm.....

WOW, I went around 3 rounds and still miss. I guess the girl at the PIKOM booth was telling me the truth, just too small to notice... Hmmm...

ya lah, like that only exclusive a bit mah. one a mac ? go to your nearest apple store. lol

MacAsia... FXR... Puma-like avatar... Jeya? Haha~

I dont know where is the nearest Apple store.. anyone can tell me? I live at Taman Melati..

EpiCenter, one stupid small booth They were displaying MBs, MBP and iMac.

Promotions from them:
- Old MacBook: RM400 rebate for accessories like sleeve, keyboard protector, membership card, Mac OS Leopard training and calculator
- New MacBook: upgrade to 2GB RAM for RM199 only (normal price RM599)
- Mac Mini: upgrade to 2GB RAM for RM199
- MBP: upgrade to 4GB RAM for RM299 + free sleeve and keyboard protector
- iMac: upgrade to 2GB RAM (for don't know what price, didn't state) + iPod Shuffle 1GB
- ACPP: 10% off with any iPod or Macs purchased

yalor,yesterday went......wanna go and see macbook,but find all the hall also cannot find pulak.......haiyo.....but apple is a good seller now.....many people is buying it.........DESIGN NICE

The iMac promo at EpiCenter booth seems interesting but again, is it worth going through a sea of people just to see what's the fuss all about? I don't think so. Better go to your nearest Apple reseller to carefully decide and purchase your Mac.

imac was going for 6999, with a free 1gb RAM + shuffle. came pre-installed with leopard too. its lovely.

not forgetting the 400 bucks voucher from them....or was I mistaken? What happened to their Targus backpack?

it is not design wise .
it is the lifestyle .


lagak betul apple ni ...

will the offers epicentre are giving apply to their shop over at pavilion?

hmm!

w00t!!! Pre-installed Leopard! It is a bargain after all! Really wish they bundle it with wireless mighty mouse or keyboard other than shuffle. But free is free right? I assumed today is the last day...

apparently not, thats according to them. the 80gb ipod classic comes free with a speaker dock - cant remember which brand it was.

Er.. just a question.. Shouldn't all the new Systems come pre installed with a Leopard by now?

ermm i got my silver imac just before pc fair..at the mac studio low yat..

they give me 1gb ram for..my system come with tiger..but have the drop-in dvd..

and they install it too in front of me..

Last time I checked all machines except MB and MBP mostly has drop in DVD and come with preinstalled Tiger which I hate. So iMac with preinstalled Leopard is good news to me as I'm thinking of having one!

I still prefer the dropped in kit.... considering that Leopard still poses lots of problems... now that Leopard is still early into its life cycle, should anything screw up, there's always a prior stable-OS to go back to....

That is so true but if in the future I wanted to do a clean install, I have to reinstall Tiger then Leopard. It would be so much hassle! But you're totally right, Ethanius.

you can also use the drop-in kit to do a clean installation of Leopard without using the Tiger DVD first....

Oh really? I thought you have to use the Tiger DVD because the drop in is just like an upgrade only. Thanks for the valuable information. You're a rockstar!

its under my avatar picture, AKA jeyadev

Yup, but only those that are recently shipped in. Some shops still hold old stock that's why they include the drop-in DVD of Leopard.

i.ve once do a clean install..even didnt put in the tiger dvd..

juz put the leopard dvd to install..but need the tiger dvd to install all the accessories..

are the drop in dvd is the same juz like the one on the shelf??

Is there any Apple Store near in Subang Jaya??? I plan for purchasing a MacBook..
And is it true you can only find MacBooks in Apple Stores only????

There's a premium reseller - Machines located at Sunway Pyramid.

You can find a MB in other computer shops too e.g. Cycom.
