If it does pls provide me the link. Thx. <br /><br />Okay back to topic. As far as i&#39;m concerned, desktop/ notebooks from US, UK, etc, are cheaper compared to Malaysia. <br />For example, <a href='http://www.ibuypower.com/mall/notebook.asp' target='_blank'>http://www.ibuypower.com/mall/notebook.asp</a> <br /><br />For USD 999.00 = MYR 3183.82 (http://coinmill.com/MYR_USD.html#USD=1000 ), <br />I can get an extremly good specs and great design&#33; <br /><br /><a href='http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=920z1ke7.jpg' target='_blank'><img src='http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9387/920z1ke7.th.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /></a><br /><br />Processor: T7500 2.2GHZ<br />512 NVIDIA(R) 8600GT PCI-Express 3D Video <br />2 GB DDR2 667 <br />15.4&quot; WXGA ( 1280 x 800 ) <br />120GB SATA<br /><br />This specs cost about &gt;RM4-5k+ in Malaysia&#33; E.g. Dell XPS M1530. Not to mentioned i have frens in US who could get a 10% discount as students.<br /><br />But the problem is the warranty which doesn&#39;t apply in Malaysia. That&#39;s a major setback. If the laptop breakdown (mobo failure, lcd, etc..), is it possible to repair in Msia? &#036;_&#036; I&#39;m not worried about the delivery since my frens can help me. <br /><br /><b>So the question is, is it advisable to buy laptops from oversea? </b> <!--emo&:stars:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /><br /> victorioz Mobile Computing Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:28:13 +0800
