isnt that the apple one? edoras got it on the fifth which is on a thursday? still doesnt make any difference IMHO

nimrod - Its not the freebies that i really missed (since I got some freebies from Mac Studio too)... but its more regarding using Machines to get the points for rebate (I'm a member).
Its worth RM 194 !! Arrghhh!! I can buy more accessories later with this savings...

What I am frustrated is that nobody can give me a hint that there is a promotion on 7th December during my call on the 5th Dec....*sigh* ....

cuba lagi next time bro

err cmon,if they are not sure about the promo why shud they tell u? it was kept in wraps because a few of the resellers i went to said theres no promo for now and again edoras,machines membership clearly states theres no membership rebate points for promo items,its either u take the freebies or rebate,you cant be greedy and have both can u now?

when the new machines in 1utama(old wing) will be opened?

I didn't realize we cannot get any rebates on promo items?
I did asked them on Sunday (Dec 7) and the counter said I can get rebate but didn't clarify anything regarding promo items... hmmm..

@ Trong-FC
the renovations for the machines in 1U aren't complete, so we can't release the opening date just yet.
I believe it will be before Christmas, but that's just my own opinion...

@Edoras,
please check the T&C available on the machines website, it does mention that promo items are not part of the rebates program.

But the price of the MBP remained the same as regular price except that they have freebies. Do they consider that as "promo items" too?
I thought a "real" promo items when it is priced lower than the regular (example the recent sale of the older MBA and MB)

nope, promotion includes freebies

Thanks for the clarification guys!
That means .. I have nothing to lose buying from other shops...

Hmmm...now thinking of upgrading the memory to 4GB.... How much its selling nowadays?

Wish they have a Apple genius here in Malaysia. They have it in the states..

Most of the Apple Geniuses are in this Forum... hehe..

Haha.. thats very true. As most sales man in Mac City and Machines does'nt know Mac that much though. ^^ . Only a few are very good. Other just ask u to buy more expensive stuff only and they don't even know their knowledge about Mac. lolx

I asked at Epicentre for RAM upgrade, they quoted the same price as Apple Online Store which is RM485 (upgrade frm 2gb to 4gb). Seems like they are matching wth online store pricing.

How about upgrading the MBP to a 6GB (max configuration)...?
Someone mentioned to me that its damn expensive....

Wow so expensive. I did mine at Lowyat but own memory. For precaution maybe can bring ur Macbook along and match till you found the right brand then buy. Very expensive though for RM485

i tot mbp maxed out at 4gb ram only?

is he referring the 2.5Ghz MBP? with 6mb cache? haha
if there's 6GB then is super awesome!

so RX330 how';s your MBP doing? good?

wow, you guys definitely don't know your own machines well enough....

MBP with 6GB RAM

hey bro thanks for the link

"The 'late 2008' MacBook Pro officially "supports up to 4GB" of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM. However, that never stopped us from trying to stuff more in. We were able to expand our MacBook Pro 2.8 to 6GB by replacing one of the 2GB SO-DIMMs with a 4GB module (courtesy of Trans International)."

A 2.8Ghz MBP? wow...what about 2.4? u mean all MBP able to susport up to 6GB Ram...but do they have it in the open market?
