I'm thinking of getting a MBP when I'm traveling next week, possibly in HK.

1. Will there be any issues bringing it back to SG through immigration?

2. With respect to after-sales servicing, will Apple SG refuse to repair or replace any damaged components as the set was purchased overseas?

3. Are there any reasons which should stop me from getting a MBP overseas?

Thanks!

Unpack the MBP from the packaging, set it up and carry separately when coming back to Singapore. This will avoid incurring the GST from Customs if they spot check your bags

if it's for cost saving reasons, check if the mbp you're buying is cheaper at changi airport departure.

Mbp is definitely international warranty.

Your best deal will be USA tax free state.
