really? so if i buy frm malaysia.....even the one year warranty is valid in singapore? or only the 3 yrs one?

anyone care to tell me where they got their dell in msia? i saw the prices....much cheaper to buy there.

ps: dell din respond to my queries via email...

leaving my telephone no also yield no return calls from them.

From what I know, my friend in JB gets his online (which is basically my plan too).

The reason is there is no GST when u buy dell notebook from malaysia.

u think its better to get from malaysia or frm Sitex?

i thought dell only can order frm the net?

 

[ipporek]

Ya. Think can only order from net. But my friend is Malaysian mah. So my plan's just order and deliver to his house lor.

 

[facadegeniality]

planning to do that too..

 

[ipporek]

Get in Malaysia definitely cheaper than Sitex. There was even some guy in a Malaysian forum posting he could help get the M1330 for about RM800 cheaper cos he has a friend working in Dell. But don't think I'd go for that la.

funny...i compared the vostro 1400 frm sg and msia....sg one is cheaper.

note: i change the specs for the msia one to be almost the same of that of dell sg...

sg one has one gb ram as oppose to 512 for msia..and bluetooth nt found in msia's

 

[ipporek]

Hmm... not very sure on that. Only compared for the M1330, and found it a few hundred $ cheaper.

 

[facadegeniality]

hmm its okt..i know wat i want..and its cheaper too...hehe
