Ask for best price without any freebies given. (Laptop cooler, mouse etc.) Prices should drop alittle.

Tiagong exclude windows can less $200

Go normal shop, ask them to price match (if IT Show is even lower in the first place) and lower price in exchange for no freebies.

If you are looking for best value and are considering Dell, just buy direct from Dell Outlet website. The Latitude laptops have the same 3 year ProSupport warranty as new laptops.

Perhaps! You wouldn’t know. P.s. offers like free 32gb microSD cards are like $10 retail. Hence don’t be lured by it!

32GB microSD are worth <$7. If they want give "freebie", maybe 256GB then okay bah. That's worth $45

Buy online cheaper.
U can try Lenovo. Beside online discount, u can enjoy cash rebate from shopback.

I tried lenovo, probably got a lemon.

Laptop had a bluescreen upon first activation.
Cldnt proceed further..

Sent to service ctr, say 3-5 days will be done.
2 wks later got an email saying need to wait for parts.
Another 1.5mths wait for the part to arrive!

Totally not acceptable..

However they did acknowledge that and offered a refund.

Precisely
But of course, everyone is lured by that initially until they realise the value
