Hi xaw5126 ,

wow, so powderful?
dragon, why wait for the one in bukit indah? city square already have machines

It seems that the performance improvement is so negligible... hmmm.. not worth the upgrade to 6GB...

Can someone explain to me how they counting the points from purchase item in Machines?

And the 2% discount can be proceed for the next purchase item, rite?

I read that max is RM500. But i no idea how much points to collect to reach a discount of Rm500.

How much money i should spent to get that Rm500 discount?!

If the point system is going to spent alot to get that small amount of discount.

I will go to Switch for longer months installment.

er... our points are straightforward ... RM1 for 1 point.

Coz I'm living very very very near to it , can save petrol or parking or else . Last month saw a recruitment advertisement in local paper for the Bukit Indah Jusco Machines .....

Was just at Machines, Gardens (MidValley) trying to decide between the 20" and 24" iMacs. Two sales assistants came to offer their help but still gave me space to play around on my own. I don't like being "hounded" when I'm in a shop.

Was overhearing one of them explaining Macs to a newbie. She spent quite some time with him patiently explaining thru iMacs, Mac Pros, Macbooks, iPods and even AppleTV. From what i could hear, she's pretty much knowledgeable about all. Only comment was when she said you could rent shows using the AppleTV. Not exactly right since iTunes Malaysia doesn't allow you to do that yet. Didn't catch her name but her tag had a "Junior Sales" on it. (BTW, when she smiles, some might even say she's hot )

Ok, so, anybody want to try to convince me the extra RM1100 is worth it to get the 24" over the 20"? Yes, I know about the rumours of upcoming MacWorld but I'd rather get it this month. Tax rebate being one of my few reasons for the rush.

ys..macworld st 1 utama.what is it act?sorry,new to mac world..

^ beside best denki at new wing

KLmurf,
I can't quite figure out what would you want to be "convinced" to part RM1100?

One of the worse places to ask this is in the shop as the sales person would have to think on his feet and shoot straight from the hip, and I’m guessing “large screen size and faster processor” would be in one of replies given. You need to substantiate yourself if buying a 20" or 24" iMac would fill your needs in the next 3-4 years (the average lifespan of a computer)

Not sure about the tax rebate but you can only claim a purchase every 3 years, unless someone in family in purchasing one next year as well, the choice of waiting for a beef up iMac next year is far more beneficial – more beef for your bucks! Unless you will be dumping the iMac within a year or so… just wait for the new iMac…. Its only less than a month away!

I bought my iPod from Machine@MV and found the staffs quite Okay as well. They might not been as well trained as those from MacCity but they are always willing to help.

Never the less, All staffs from any Apple Resellers are better trained, friendlier and more educated than those we can find from our gov department...

I didn't ask that question in the shop as like you said, would be a futile effort. What I meant was that I am still trying to decide between the 20 and 24in. Technically, the 20" is enough for what I need it to do. As both have the same gpu, the main advantage of the 24 would be bigger screen real estate. I suppose that's something nice (but not critical) to have when editing photos and home movies (consumer level, not pro mind you). Of course, when I think about watching movies on it from my bed... then of course the 24 is fantastic! So basically, my head's saying 20", my heart's saying 24"

As to the tax rebates..... who knows what might happen next year with the way things are going now

Anyway, I'm leaning more towards getting a 20" and a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme now, in preparation of getting a updated AppleTV next year.

if the current price was the same as last year wen i gotten the 20" , i would definitely go for the 24
ITS BLOODY HUMONGOUS!!!!!

Hmmm... do they wear nametag? Should ask them to wear nametag so that customers can write their name here. At one point I almost take the picture of the staff (at MV) busy playing music and using internet on the display mac instead of allowing customers to test the machine, but I think it was too much and don't want to 'tutup periuk nasi org'.

Maccity 1 Utama customer service is not as good as it used to be back 3 years ago when it was MacAsia. Maybe most of their senior sales assistants already left.

p/s: Still can't forget one of the sale assistant at machine gardens confidently telling me that mighty mouse is referring to wireless mouse which which she said is smaller that the wired mouse which she called normal mouse.

yes, all machines staff have nametag, and we must wear it when on the floor...

Hi xaw5126,

r u one of the management staff at Apple store? Any staff price eligible to get Apple products?

mac city and machine is one company or not? i mean, if we got problem and have warranty, all item will be send to machine..its that right? i think so..

I think Mac City and Machines are separate companies... But if i;m not wrong, Machines is one of Apple's authorized Serviced Providers in Malaysia... Am i right, xaw5126?
