I'll be planning to buy a new macbook aluminum soon. Since the price is pretty much standardized for all mac stores, is there any added advantage from buying from mac city, machines, or any of the other mac stores?

Tx.

i know machines give 2% rebate (no real cash, but you can use it to buy other product).

i myself bought @ machines klcc. the 2% rebate, i bought ipod wall plug charger...i just need to add rm14 for the ipod after deduct the rebate i got from macbook purchase. even the rm14 i paid got rebate 5% since i bought ipod accessory.

sumore machine got ezy payment without extra charges. other shop i dunno, never buy anything.

all mac product...i guess 2%...ipod..5%

Can i tumpang here with another option - Switch which located at SOGO.

I am considering it due to they accepts OCBC card.

If its 2 % "cashback", that can amount to a significant difference if I buy a macbook. The thing is, 1Utama is closer.

Maybe I can go to Mac City and strike a deal.

hold back, machines is coming to 1utama on december


bye bye mac city

they opening another one? they just open one in jaybee shiti square

yeah, they're opening another one in one utama very soon

^

yea i juz saw it.. same row as tower records~

Once Machines open at 1 utama, mac city sure no business d

I doubt it... surely Mac City has some advantage... they've been there for one whole year now ...

Hah great, then I can just jump over shop by shop until one of them gives me a better deal.

hah, i remember i went to 9 apple reseller in 1 day, just to find a Rebel Touch Black for my friend, but at last nothing.....

Mac City is nice in customer service IMO.. especially the one in cineleisure.. ask for Amelia!

hmmm..without extra charges?..What credit card did you use?
Machines Mid Valley charge me extra 2%..

wow..realli? in 1 utama wor? hmm

thanks for the tip
need to get me classic checked

@ Mr Alby
that's interesting... cos based on machines website its 0% for Ambank, Citibank, CIMB, HSBC & Maybank...

Yup...they said bcoz im using CC..
Maybe bcoz it was a year ago..(Im using Alliance Bank)

Mac City in 1U is where i bought the Coolcase for my iPod touch... That shop seems to be very popular on weekends, it was almost full last Saturday!

But when Machines opens, Mac City is sure to face intense competition over there!

Yes, Mac City has better Customer service support. The staff in Machines (well the ones in mid-valley) are quite clueless most of the time and are just wandering around.

It might vary from store to store, oh well.

Mac City locate at new wing..
machines locate at old wing..near to tgv
