However he can provided the box at 20% of his stated price isnt it? and Do you know any other seller that have better price ?

It seems 548 are kind of steep. =S

Yea I'm kind of a cheapo. haha.

ya well, why not sell the box set at his stated price then? shipping isn't that much more expensive in any case.

anyway just read this and you'll know why its dangerous to buy AppleCare from anyone other than an authorised seller. there are many more examples on the net, you can go google yourself

its just not worth it risking your equipment for a cheap product.

If you are student, take student loan from school. Other than that, there is no other way to pay by installments with debit.

The indirect way would be to take up a small loan of about 4k from the bank (assuming you are working), then slowly pay them back over 2 years.

that would not be worth it cos of the interest. bank loans if interest free are usually short tenure, 1-3mths.

only way is find someone with citibank (or similar) and buy with interest-free instalment. then you pay them back

I bought my 15" MBP's Applecare @ iStudio in Orchard Central about 2 weeks back. I asked the sales staff and there was a 20% discount without purchasing of the machine. Ended up, I paid about S$440.00.

I hope this helps. =)

Ohh ? Was it promotion or smth ? That looks good. 440 way cheaper than 548 already.

How long do the batteries in your wireless apple mouse last?

Mine seems to be draining very quickly. I have it on typically about 6-8 hours a day on weekdays, and possibly up to 12 hours on weekends. Been about 1 week, and battery is already down to 80% This means I have to change/recharge it every month on average?

Conversely, the batteries in my wireless keyboard still show at full power? I have never used wireless devices before, but the drain seems quite fast. Is this normal, or should I just switch back to a normal corded mouse?

I asked them but they could not give me a definite answer. Nonetheless, my warranty is expiring in October, so I might as well get it.

If you're driving, do redeem a carpark coupon from the information counter.

I see I see. 440 is 8 bucks cheaper then education price. Oh well, my warranty still way longer from expiry date!

I will see how it goes then. Thanks for the info ya.
