Well fresh stock is always better =) At least some problems may be fixed during the production queue ahah.

At the moment, for expensive stuff,...i stick to the classic walk-in shopping...
At least i can collect members points for buying stuff at Machines...

i prefer walk-in shopping currently as the online store was just set-up.haha

Wow I am surprised to receive shipment notification from apple already. My custom order MacBook pro is shipped and will be reaching me by 19th nov. Soooooo excited!!!

@neekun what details u need to email them for edu store?

Which store is better?

For those living in KL or PJ, Apple Online is unlikely to be a threat to the Apple resellers. For many of us, we want to see, feel and even smell (if possible) before we make a purchase. Obviously, there are some exceptions for certain online transactions like travel, insurance, banking and books.

Apple Online will come in handy for niche products that we do not see in the retail stores and perhaps online exclusives should that be part of Apple's agenda at a later stage.

ya... having Apple Store enable other places within Malaysia which does not have Apple Reseller to have a chance of purchasing Apple product...

i sure Apple will use reliable courier to send out their product... not Pos Laju

DHL la bro..

Even if damage or lost in transit, Apple wont decline to give replacement one.. Big company ma

big companies usually tend to spend more on reliable courier services.. part of their customer service quality also..

i know, it shown in the previous post

it is fun to see when ur beloved things came to ur doorstep, and the best thing... can straight use it out of the box , no hassle doing installation on other stuff

the other day when TNT arrived, i looked into the van.. the delivery guy was telling me that ALL the parcels in the van were from apple - macbooks, macbook pros, ipods, macs, etc etc... everything!

amazing uh.. very relieved to know that someone reliable is handling ur new toy..

ya... everytime i purchase item online, those courier like Pos Laju when they send the item, they dun care much bout whats inside, most of the time i get those Boxes become like being "smash" before, the content still safe but it makes u wonder has any damage done on it

and one more thing... good courier service will make sure ur parcel arrive on time, not like Pos Laju or Skynet... always delay... and when call to ask they say today too many parcel to deliver or other reason like that...

Apple Online Store is good for ppl that need to get 4Gb ram for macbook. 2 x 2Gb DDR3 ram..

If buy from retailer, they quoted me like RM1600 for 2 pcs of 2Gb DDR3 ram and only offer a rebate of RM100 for the 2 pcs of brand new 1Gb DDR3 ram.

I will support Apple Online store as I can customize the purchase of Macbook with different memory settings..

ooo rm1600 for 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 rams? +- RM800 per stick?? omg man.. thats crazy! even the shops in australia isnt selling it that expensive.. its about AUD185-200 for 2GB DDR3 ram sticks for the new macbook/mbp here... wat a rip off man..

That's weird... I asked about it (RAM upgrade) and I was told the quotation is the same as the one state in Online Store.

800 bucks for a piece of 2GB...? What kinda DDR3 RAM are they offering...? Kingston KTA...?

your post really confused me until i read the preceding post... , and if you're curious, i read threads backwards...

Maybe you ask the quotation when Apple hasn't launch the online store yet. Since DDR3 is not really standard yet, they tried to get more money from you. Now that Online Store is here, everyone know how much it actually cost and they bring the price to match the online store. Hehe

I'm just kidding anyways. Don't take my words seriously
