Get the serial# and check if it's valid for warranty here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.doIf seller agree to open the box for you, check the contents against the manual page 2-3 where they they you what's in the box. Check for dead pixels on LCD. Most important is warranty valid. |

More money to spend. That depends on your budget.
Don't forget you have to spend $ to get the mini display out adapter. Then if you work on external screen, you might need a keyboard n mouse. More money to spend.

Not as attractive compared to oversea. At lease I can say local retailer promo don't catch my attention to buy. But some of them seems to have promo all year round.
Maybe you should check with them what they going to have or already having.

Keep the saving and buy AppleCare together with the MacBook. I always encourage buyer to get ACPP together when they buy their Macs. Include that into your budget instead of going all the way max for the spec and etc.
4GB module is still expensive. By the time the prices fall to acceptable level, you might most likely on the way to get a newer Mac.

To have FireWire is good. But to pay RM700 extra to get that feature is another question. Also don't forget FW casing/drive also cost more, unless you already have large collection of FW devices, otherwise it's not really a big concern compared to the savings.
If someone gotta deal with lot's of large file (>10GB average), I would suggest them get the higher end models instead.

For best Apple product listing, go to Apple.com or store.apple.com/my i7 iMac is not stock spec. You have to custom order it, we call it BTO (Built to Order) or CTO (Customized to Order). Here's the link: http://store.apple.com/my/configure/MB953Z...mco=MTM3ODE3NjgI have few client already using i7 iMac. |

USB? Network?? - I have no idea <-- Then get some: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/Or simply hire some professional to evaluate your company's need.

For example:
MBP 2011 15" 2.2GHz i7 BTO SSD + Anti-glare HD
Ordered 1st March.
Shipment notification received on 5th March.
Received parcel on 10th March.
You can cut short the timing by doing self-pickup by calling DHl as soon as it item reach KL customs.

QUOTE(wannabe1988 @ Jun 17 2011, 02:45 PM) Thank you wei. How do we self-collect from dhl centre? Give them a call to request for it or contact apple? Which centre should I go to should I just to self-collect as soon as it reaches Malaysia? Also does dhl works on sat? Thank you for all the reply. Really appreciate it! Call them as soon as you get the Shipment Notification from Apple, give them the parcel code (not your Apple order#). Make the arrangement with DHL not Apple. You can go to KLIA DHL office or any dispatch center near to you. Just make the arrangement with DHL, their hotline is 24-hour I last recall. Call them, they are very helpful. If needed they can even revert the parcel to new destination, but that would require more paperwork, and extra charges. |

Buy online:
Brown shipping box sealed before the white Apple packaging box. The white box should be protected by a plastic bag and some protection cartons.
Buy from resellers:
White Apple packaging box only.
Everything should be sealed tight.

You have to do that when you order the iMac. Call AppleCare if you want to do it after buying and open the unit. You have to ask their help if they willing to do the exchange for you. In my experience you can, since your unit is within a week. But usually local reseller won't bothered with such request. So long you paid and walk off the store, you basically on your own. That's what I hate about local Apple Authorized resellers.
