Answer 3 :
more than likely, your USA laptop was built in Malaysia. As far as cost, computers are higher, espicially overseas.
Answer 4 :
For the best prices, you are generally better off buying off the internet, so it really doesn't matter that much where you are ... and a used one from a website like ebay if you don't need the latest - greatest.
Answer 5 :
if buying online its not goint to matter much, if purchasing in a store, doesn't matter much but I would assume its cheaper in malaysia, just make sure its compatible for use in the US.
Answer 6 :
Depends where the laptop was manufacured. If it was manufactured in USA, of course it's cheaper in USA. Same thing if it's manufactured in Malaysia. I suggest a laptop with a Macintosh OS. Mac can't be barged in by viruses as easy as Windows. Maybe it also has less "backdoors" and "holes", not like Windows.
Answer 7 :
Its probably going to end up being cheaper in the US. Two simple reasons: 1) Always deals and such happening on electronics from vendors and the like 2) Malaysia is first source. They produce Laptop components, and ship them to assembly plants back in the US or any other Asian country that assembles, and then they purchase fully assembled laptops again, at much higher costs, due to Customs. So you will end up paying top dollar, for very bad technology When all is said and done, go for the US, and I suggest an HP because they offer the best options for the best prices. Wait till the summer, for new technolgoy and better discount. The releases from AMD and Intel in the processor and chipset segments, will definetly cause a price drop
