Hi there, my question is as stated in the title..

I "tried" buying a MacBook Pro 17" in Amazon and it only charges me 2400 USD in total including shipping fee.

Take the currency exchange rate as 3.4 and assume the price is 2500 USD. It only translates into RM8500 which is a RM799 saving from local retail shops like Machines.

Since the warranty is worldwide, what are the benefits of buying from local retail stores?

And also anyone has such experience buying from amazon or not? I did buy books and media player from them before and the shipping has no problem..Please anyone do share if they have such experience..

It seems to me it's a good deal..

What'd you think?

seems like a good deal.

if retail u can bring home the item straightaway... if the retailer got stock lah ;p

Hey guys

THinking of buying the basic 21.5" iMAC. Problem is can it be hand carried on the flight to Vietnam from KL?

Not sure if the box is too big to hand carry on the plane.. Anyone know?

Reason: Cheaper to get it in KL then Vietnam, of course

the box is quite big...i dont think can fit

sigh.. back to my dilemma again. 21.5 imac or the a macbook pro. i'm back from overseas for holidays, and right now i got to choose before going back on 16th feb. i've seen the 21.5 iMac box and it's friggin huge to be hand carried. i wonder if i check in the whole box with a fragile sticker makes any difference in ensuring my iMac safety.it's either iMac or this mbp. i heard bout rumors on the new update of mbp on the coming 26th. i wonder i should wait for that and by then will msia apple stores have the new updated mbp before i leave? btw, a 6k for a lower specs mbp. i just dont feel the value in it compare to iMac. i dont really care bout the cool design, thinovation thingy. i just love the Mac OSX. sigh.

Thinking of finally pulling the trigger for a macbook pro 13. If the macbook is "refreshed" during the coming Jan 27th Apple event, what usually happens to the existing stock? Clearance sale? Core2Duo good enough for me. Appreciate you guys advice

any get 27inch imac quadcore? why shipping takes 3weeks since we're in the same country

yeah there'll be a clearance sale. but i think macbook wont be refreshed...juz the MBPs. C2D is good enough..FOR NOW i mean if they really launch i5 MBP it'd be a huge improvement

27" imac IINM got worldwide delay. so many cases of cracked screens n such, probably the box is not tough enough for shipping
