QUOTE(imranayid @ Feb 6 2009, 10:45 AM) There are all apple store. But under different vendor and different marketing strategy. This will give advantage to user. There is still no i repeat no APPLE STORE in Malaysia,they are all Resellers or Sub Contractors to be exact,the Price of Apple Products and accessories made by Apple and has the official Apple Trademark are all controlled price and is the same at all stores,use Apple Online Store as you reference if you wish. However third party accessories made for Apple Products such as Belkin,Griffin,Switcheasy are sold at different prices,find the best store that offer competetive pricing and buy from them if you must.

QUOTE(dinodog_Jr @ Feb 8 2009, 06:51 PM) oh man... Now my decision change again.. 10% off is sweet thanx for the info xaw & lonewalker. Goin Machine by next week.. Haha.. firstly this is only applicable if you have a machines membership card,and its not 10% Off,you pay the full amount and get 10% Rebate which is applicable for a secondary purchase. If you are wondering how to get a membership card,buying a minimum of an ipod shuffle would do.

QUOTE(pmsoo @ Feb 16 2009, 09:47 AM) How much is the surcharge? depends,sometimes can be as high as 5% not worth it IMHO paying for your own gift. I prefewr a reseller that cares about my wallet at the end of the day the freebies can be cheapo things and they earn from surcharge ish

QUOTE(dinodog_Jr @ Feb 16 2009, 03:35 PM) it is 2.5% at Epic Center... Pavillion, Bkt Bintang. I do the maths already. THe 2GB RAM itself plus freebies is more expensive than the surcharge. So, it is a good deal. Machine won't give me anything. But 2% for next Mac products. Well, no matter how better than u purchase online.. well if you go with their promo, get a macbook plus acpp 4799 + 849 u get 798 worth of ram,pretty neat deal with no surcharge.

QUOTE(Small.Mac @ Feb 19 2009, 09:20 AM) May I know for the 4GB ram upgrade, are they 1. swapping the 2GB RAM to 4GB RAM, or 2. we pay RM488 for another 4GB RAM, then we keep the 2GB RAM? normally its a swap or trade in.

QUOTE(dinodog_Jr @ Feb 21 2009, 01:22 AM) I think only will be "suspected" to get tax-charge when you coming out from SG to Msia. By the way, the box is nothing fancy. You just leave it at someone's house safety. Use the Sleeve to carry the machine. second this, so far i only heard of Malaysian customs who always charge tax on electronic goods not the singapore counterpart

QUOTE(dinodog_Jr @ Feb 26 2009, 12:17 PM) Thanx.. i am happy to hear that.. Cause last time, i saw a price charges on the service counter on Epic center table. Just having a doubt. Technically, which reseller shop having more professional in fixing problems? I feel Machines peoples are just into sales more than into technical stuff.. In a word, can get settle my case at the same hour. Like no need to fill form, and wait for call to inform what is the faulty inside machine by next day. And Epic center seems to have proper workshop. But its gonna takes me a longer journey to drop by there.. haha.. I don't mind the long walking if they provide me on the spot checking & fixing whatever they can at the same hour. service centre you mean? everything you want can only be attained at an official Apple Store,service parts are all from SG. Theres no such thing as on the spot repair when it comes to hardware repairs,software yes. Parts need to be ordered and get customs clearance and stuff

QUOTE(Eithanius @ Mar 7 2009, 07:09 PM) oops... my bad...! i forgot... 1-to-1 exchange on Apple's internal side.... however i find that Apple's policy is sometimes ridiculous considering that sometimes even though workable parts are broken, Apple still insist on sending it in before ordering, especially laptops, owners are deprived of their machine to work on.... well it depends actually,had my keyboard replaced but i get to keep my macbook hehe. Added on March 7, 2009, 7:27 pmQUOTE(Eithanius @ Mar 7 2009, 05:46 PM) i'm sure you can get them to jot down your serial number, let them order the parts first, wait till the parts arrive, then only you send in your mbp for repair... not even a week after launch and you're asking for promotion already...? with your kinda mentality around here, no wonder Apple doesn't wanna have a physical retail presence here... 
Bro apple stuff in Malaysia will only sell when theres freebies, freebies determine the sale not the mac itself its an inherit pc mentality buy an acer get 10 useless free stuff for free haha,if they cud they'll also ask online store for free gifts also This post has been edited by nimrod323: Mar 7 2009, 07:27 PM

QUOTE(dinodog_Jr @ Mar 7 2009, 09:53 PM) No point i keep the machine since i can't see any display. haha.. Staring at a newly bought dead machine is not a good feeling man. Anyway, i wonder why Machine cannot update customer the repair status in others way instead of relying on internet connection?! (Try to update customer list in somewhere, not to say the whole Malaysia streamyx is under cripple generation yet.) Is that unprofessional? I have to make call Twice. The last thing i heard is i can get my machine back during next week. I hope they mean it so. And i still got no email update as they promised will sent to me since last 2 weeks. dude check here https://support.apple.com/repairstatus/Main .it has always been there

QUOTE(dinodog_Jr @ Mar 8 2009, 12:24 AM) i checked der many days ago.. no repair status for my machine. That's why i made the call for 2nd times. come on man.. i know you have experienced. Try to be helpful instead of the "adui" icon der. If you dun tend to help people with a generousity, please refrain any act like that in future. or ignore my question in future. err whats with being sensitive about it? grow up man,again i was merely pointing out an avenue for you to check out your status. isnt that helping? theres still a lot of people that have given you harsher words man,again this is a forum where people share their stuffs and expect a discussion to go on. i told you this from time to time,dont be supersensitive about it. P/s: sorry for the OT mods

guys, from now on,no more 0% interest free payment at machines. Installments will still be continued for all five banks but with interest of 2% for 6 months and 4% for 12 months. Rebates were reduced for ipods and accesories,2% and 5% respectively.

QUOTE(xaw5126 @ Apr 5 2009, 07:54 PM) dey nimrod, wrong info. its not interest, its additional 2%. Interest would mean you keep paying each month. Additional means if someone pays RM100 for a product, with 6 month easy pay, he would pay RM102. then its divided 6 months, for RM17 per month. Interest would mean extra 2% each month, right?  oopps my bad,0% installment is still in place but with extra charges, processing fees hehe
