u still have to declare GST+shipping fee+no warranty=worth it to u? if yes then go ahead.

No worry for warranty, as the product already come with 1 year international warranty, the GST is = the item price? or (Item + Shipment) * 1.07 ?

and lastly you purchased before?

need to declare the item price only. IIRC if more than S$400 need to pay GST. i only know ASUS got international warranty not sure about other brand. u calculate loh. see whether is it cheaper than buying in sg. i bought from amazon its much cheaper compared to newegg.

With current weak s$ and strong US$. It become not so good now. Also, do not forget about warranty and condition after you receive the pc.

US$ is still going higher. This is not yet including the service charges from credit card company. (typically around 2.5%).

one quick question... buying from USA means the plug is US version.
using that in sg means need a traveller adapter?
or need to go buy a suitable headed plug for sg use?

there's 2 part to the power thingy... one is the small-head to adapter, other from adapter to the socket. only the latter need to change to uk 3-pin, right?

my main concern is more about the warranty than anything if i buy from amazon. realised that the HP units there only have local warranty...

Some hp laptops got intl warranty so must chrck. But their warranty is besr effort basis only

For me, and year international warranty will be good enough, after 1 year, we got many service centre here, won't hurt much though.

Not until you find out charges from service centre and the cost of spare part.
