Suddenly i feel that this topic already become a feedback topic for Apple stores in Malaysia...

even better.then those who want to buy can refer to this thread n choice.

no lah..educational discount i think government pay..

It's hard to be sure but from your post are you suggesting that somehow, our Malaysian government is subsidizing purchases made at the Apple Education store?

If so, dude, how old are you?

If not, could you please learn to post so people could actually understand you?

Hm, the only benefits now that I can think of from the mac stores over here is that you'll be able to get your item immediately. I would be kind of worried to have my macbook shipped all the way from China -- someone might steal it.

BTW, anyone have experience with the malaysia apple mac store? How many days did it take to ship your item?

So far I very satisfy with Machines Sunway and Mac City Cineleisure
Because I did visit them and ask kind lot of questions.
They still be there to answer me.

i strongly think that government pay for the discount..
u see, the agreement is..one year you can only buy ONE mac, but unlimited ipod.
ipod no discount, mainly because it is not an eductional tools.
computers are educational tools.

government always give discounts for something related to education.
im from public UNI, and there's original windows vista ultimate selling at half the original price.
and microsoft office too.
but there is a red sticker on the box..got book picture on it. it writes there,
"ACADEMIC PRICE, not for use in commercial environment"

when you buy books also your parents can get income tax waive. if you are working, that you'll get the discount lah.

thats why i think its the government who pay for the discount. but i dont say it's a "yes" . dont get me wrong.

Well, it could be Apple doing their bit for the education world I guess? It would be highly unlikely that our dearest government will be paying for it. As for your Windows Vista ultimate and Office selling at cheaper price in Uni, that's actually Microsoft doing their bit for the education world as well. In US, doing so is also a type of marketing, to show that they actually contributed their part to the world, or to fulfill a certain quota by the government to do something for the country.

err bro i think you got confused between the government subsidies and apple store discount. Err i can vouch that this is apple's effort to lend a hand to the students, and its available to all places that has an apple online or apple store,the reason why is only one mac is because people can get greedy and buy a few macs under edu price even though they are not students and has nothing to do with the government haha. Seriously the only thing that they did is not tax computer items.

milo, think again

I plan to buy a Ipod touch tonight, and my friend told me that he has some membership card from Epicentre could give me 10% discount, but he not sure is for all the products or just the accessories only? any 1 of you guys know about that? I'm thinking about where to buy my ipod touch...

10% off for selected accessories only not applicable to ipod or macs,where got such thing one if this is the case machines and the rest tutup kedai ready lo

ouch man! ok, my wrong..

Oh.... thanks for the info... so what you guys think... just now i call Epicentre pavilion and they told me buy a ipod touch they will give me a wallplug for free... but it's 3rd party lar... and the machines will have 5% rebate on the next purchase... which 1 is more worth ah? normally 3rd party wall plug how much ah?

see which you want lar.the rebate you can use to buy anything in the shop. And if you keep on buying stuff in machines can get the rebates,accessories 10%.ipod 5% and macs and softwares 2%,if they have member preview sale they'll call u lah. On the other hand u see whether the wall plug is useful or not,make sure its a good one(Belkin or Griffin preferably)

Oh really thanks alot's nimrod323 , coz i'm getting ipod touch 8G so the price RM 949.00 so the 5% rebate will be around RM45.00, if the wall plug they giving is worth more then Rm45.00 of coz i gonna get that...

bah, just went to some apple stores in low yat. They don't give edu pricing. They do have promotions -- but I rather keep 200 RM I save from buying from the edu store and buying my own promotions
