Very true. Was a camera salesman before. Let's just say I will promote the camera like dragons and phoenixes.

Wah. I wouldn't risk buying from those shops that I never heard b4 especially for laptops.
Later sell you a refurbished set with many problems or what in the end you will be the more inconvenient

It’s not a trusted shop you look for. It’s the trusted person that you need to look for.

For that, just look for Yi Long at PCthemes. I have only heard good comments on him and have bought tones of items from him over the past decade.

I think depends la. Going down to see actual products and also talking to people also quite a nice feeling if you are into PC parts all this. Online is convenient but everything online buy will lose the feel of touch..

Bottomline: dont go there expecting to learn or be taught. Go there already knowing your **** or expect to get ripped off.

Tot all shops in Sim Lim provide price list... How come everyone still warning about being rip-off?

Price list may be ok. But you may get rip off by item like accessories or sometime model. Eg similar model instead of FHD screen but gotten a HD one. Or SSD get swapped to other brand.

Hi abkt99, did you buy from Raja Raja in the end? How was your experience?

Any good shops to reccomend?

usually i visit dynacore, vii pc and tradepac. But u still need to do some homework b4 u go there, sometime they recommend u items that may not be good but becos due to clearing parts. talk to them and ask the price of wat u want, insist on wat u want and ask for better price. sometime can listen to their advise but read on reviews and etc b4 u decide to change ur original plan.

like b4 ** period, i went dc and they keep on promoting me to get x570 taichi, where i personally know that is not a good board and alot of complaints from that board due to some bios and board issues. i know that they are also trying to clear stock, so dont jus sway ur initial plan due to all this "promoting"

but there are also some positive feedback like, asking some customer not to use some psu due to high rate of rma and etc, so do note who u are dealing with
