QUOTE(jasperng @ Aug 4 2009, 12:11 AM) of cuz you caan buy mac book from us .. just that you ahve to bear the cost of international postage and probably being taxed by malaysia custom . apple has malaysia apple store.. why dont you buy from there ? refurbish macbook might be product with detects previously and has been fixed right now. it might be a return product previously too. But, apple would make sure it is functioning well before selling it again . However its your own risk to get a reburbished macbook as there might be unseen problem too =) . tats why it is cheaper. cuz i count the price of hongkong price is cheaper than malaysia, so that im thinking of buying from there...but i totally forget the tax... can you tell me how much is the tax will charge if im buying from hongkong and US?

QUOTE(daydreaming @ Aug 19 2009, 01:42 PM) i know. ok, lets say the 2 scenarios below: buying macbook pro 13". default = 1 year warranty buy applecare same time = 1 + 2 years warranty buy applecare after 360 days (less than 1 year) = 360 + 3 years warranty. is this correct? how do they calculate the applecare if i buy it after the product purchase? this is correct: buy applecare after 360 days (less than 1 year) = 360 + 2 years warranty. if this happen "buy applecare after 360 days (less than 1 year) = 360 + 3 years warranty", then everyone can extend their warranty to unlimited time already, but this is impossible.

QUOTE(daydreaming @ Aug 21 2009, 07:29 PM) mbp 13" is the most affordable one i guess.  get the lower range one and aim for the free 4gb memory upgrade. i believe illustrator can work well as long as no 3d stuff or intensive video editing. yah~and you can get education price too when u tell them u r student in malaysia~

I've get an info of a macbook pro. and then i go try to get the same spec from dell or hp website.
the result i get is the dell or hp laptop is just cheaper 1.5k...
so i think that macbook pro is still worth it bcuz of those features that windows' laptops dun have.
