Does custom officials inspect traveler’s laptop for pirated Window XP when travel from Malaysia to Indonesia
Does custom officials inspect traveler’s laptop for pirated Window XP when travel from Malaysia to Indonesia?

Answer 1 :
No, it is not really practical, and the customs officials don't really have the information to work out if your copy is pirated (many companies use the same copy of XP to install on several computers to save time and money, it is sort of legal as long as you own a licence). What they look for is CDs and DVDs that are obviously pirated.

Where are laptop prices cheaper, in the Philippines or Malaysia? Or where do you think are they cheaper?
Also, what is the price range of gaming laptops with these specs I suppose: -300 GB hard disk -2 GB memory -intel core duo 2.0 -nvidia whatever graphic card I'm not aware of this maybe 8000+. I dont know this one -windows xp or vista (which one is better? my dad said he finds vista slow) include "hp laptop" in my ideal specs

Answer 1 :
i'm not sure about hp laptop but maybe acer have great deal with your specs.. acer aspire 4530 model....250 gb hdisk,1 gb ram (upgradable),nvidia geforce 9100m g chipset,and turion 64 dual core 2.1 ghz.. i prefer to use xp than vista because vista use a lot of space in hd and ram... furthermore not all game is supporting with vista.
Answer 2 :
Laptop prices are cheaper in the Asian region because this is where they are manufactured (Japan, China). Thus, export costs are lower than if the destination is closer as compared to exporting to Europe or the US. I heard the HP Pavilion Dragon is pretty good. It's about $2100+. There's also the HP Pavilion 16t

Is dell laptops tend to overheat more than other brands of laptops?
I am planning on buying a new laptop. So, I prefer HP over other brands cause I hear that their product is very good and durable. But, in Malaysia, HP is very expensive. So, I looked for another option which is Dell. Dell have laptops within my budget. But my brother's Dell laptop overheat just within a year!! Err don't get me wrong. I like Dell. I have Dell desktop myself. thanks everyone you guys have been very helpful the tip on choosing the processor for laptop is very helpful

Everyone in my company has Dell laptop (Company provide - thousands), there is no overheat reported at all (4+ years).
Answer 2 :
I haven't heard of that problem being specific to Dell. If you're worried about overheating, you can use a cooling pad.
Answer 3 :
Dell sucks, but all laptops can overheat, they need to be on a flat surface with the ducts un obstructed, the cheap little fans are a common failure regardless of brand. also a cooler running processor like centrino or turion is a good option, all the other processors are desktop versions crammed into a laptop case
Answer 4 :
Really? I thought HPs were good, and was told by TONS of people that they are having problems with them. Dell is my favorite PC brand, my mom has one, although she uses it just for work. It's really fast, and definitely durable. Sony is also supposed to be very good. The Dell I have has never overheated. Stays very cool, even when I just leave it on because I'm doing something else.

I lived in Malaysia and will be travelling to Japan in the next month, should i buy an adapter for the plug?
I'll be travelling to Japan next week and i thought of bringing my laptop and camera. Is the plug different from malaysia?i just know that the voltage there is 100v.
Japan - 3 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Sure. It's different from Malaysia. But you can buy an adapter at an airport in Japan.
Answer 2 :
Yes the voltage in Japan is 100V. Just buy the multi voltage plug in Malaysia before u travel. Your laptop power supply can handle 100 to 240 volt, just plug into the adaptor and it will work as normal. Japan normally use 2 pin only. Camera can normally work 100 to 240V for Japan type camera, pls check your voltage input or your power supply if it is not a Japanese version camera.
Answer 3 :
1- Check your laptop and camera battery charger/adapter if its auto or dual voltages ( 100V~220V ) 2-Make sure the plug prongs are of the 2 pins flat type. 3-Normally the chargers for cameras are of 2 pins round type if purchase in Malaysia . Get the 2 pins flat type , normally sold at RM 1 4-The adapter for laptop if purchase in Malaysia are of the 3 pins British standard.You need to open the plug or get a "power pin changer" from any electronics shops. Normally sold at RM 4-RM8 5-Get all this done while in Malaysia , so no need to fumbles and runs around in Japan. 6- Same type of power plugs applies if you ever go to USA , Canada , China and Thailand . Except Thai and China is at 220V

Answer 1 :
Best to buy a computer that is compatible with the country you will be living in - check out electric voltage etc before you buy
Answer 2 :
probly malaysia
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

Of course other than the usual courier service is to go find a student from Malaysia in the US, who plans to return here for holiday and send it through him/her.Take the person's particulars and exchange with the receiver. Pay the person for the deed a token fee. Otherwise still the courier is still the safest way but make sure you mark it as fragile

Answer 4 :
The prices of hardware found in Panthip (BKK) and LowYat (KL) are about the same . Both places are also easy accessible by MRT/LRT or BTS As for PC and laptop. There are 2 versions. With license or without license. Even the licensed OS are cheaper here in Asia. You just need to watch out for the supplied power adapter Malaysia packed with the 3 pin UK type while Thai packed with their 2 pin version. Multiple power plug adapter will solves the problem. BTW , heard that the stupid malaysian govt wanna bans Yoga for muslims

If you own a malaysia credit card(which easily approved), most of the cards have interest free installment plan.

You can try Sg. Wang Plaza. Courts is also offering computers tru instalment payments..I think??

Answer 3 :
Go to Low Yat Plaza at Bukit Bintang, you will be able to find what you want there.
Answer 4 :
Well, like the other answerers said, I too suggest Lowyat because comparing the price of electronic devices sold there and else where, Low Yat should be the cheapest around.

Answer 6 :
Cheaper laptops are without an OS Avoid getting rip off if the salesperson offers to install OS for 50 ringgit . As the 50 ringgit OS last about 30 days. Purchase a genuine OS . The OS price is cheaper in Asean countries . Target the brand and model of your intended purchase . Compares the prices from at least 5 shops inside the LowYat or at other places. Know what you wanted to buy. If you plan to install your own OS , make sure the laptop supports it. Most of the newer laptops does NOT support WinXP and virtually without online helps for XP drivers

Hi, I have a Dell laptop and want to send it back to Malaysia, but the problem is, I don't have any box for my laptop. So my question is, which company will provide the box for my laptop, or where can I buy the box myself?
Laptops & Notebooks - 1 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
There are multiple places that sell boxes of varying sizes. However, the problem is not the box. The problem is the packing material you use inside the box. If you examined the sparse packing material the laptop manufacturers use, it seems like you might not need much... except the manufacturer use custom sized foam braces that immobilize a laptop in the center of a much larger box. So, find a UPS or FEDEX or the equivalent shipping company near you. They will sell boxes. They will even sell packing material. Here is what you want to do, for optimal security... Pack the laptop well in an appropriate-sized box. Seal that box. Make sure there is an address label on that box for your destination. Pack THAT box, into another larger box. Make sure you can fit packing material between the two boxes. Seal the box. Put another shipping label on this box. The one on the inner box is just in case the outer box is damaged. Ship

To tell you the truth HP is a very good place to buy a laptop, But I went with dell And I realy thing there th best.
Answer 2 :
Electronic stuff are way cheaper in Singapore. There's a place where you can survey around the shops and get the best bargain for your laptop, in a mall called Sim Lim.
Answer 3 :
Low Yat Plaza at Bukit Bintang in the city of Kuala Lumpur is one of the popular location where you can get a good bargain for computers and IT products.
Answer 4 :
Singapore is always a good place to buy electronics and IT equipment. Apart from big departmental stores like Best Denki, Courts or Harvey Norman, it is recommended that you go to Sim Lim Square or Funan Centre to purchase your laptop as they offer a wide variety of computer shops. Prices at Sim Lim Square are likely to be lower than at Funan Centre. For a HP laptop, you can also try their online website to see what existing offers are available. You can even purchase a HP laptop online, same for Dell laptops

Answer 1 :
Laptop shop
Answer 2 :
errr...computer shops. Try Low Yatt plaza.
Answer 3 :
It depends on which part of Malaysia you are referring to, dear... In the Klang Valley, there's two main places I would personally recommend. One is the 'famous' Low Yat Plaza in KL city itself (right behind Timesquare) and the other is the IT Mall in SS14, Petaling Jaya. Hope this helps and good luck. Some had referred to me that Sunway Pyramid and Subang Parade's IT centers are not bad for a bargain too... I got mine in Sunway by the way :-)
Answer 4 :
Megamall, Midvalley, Center Court -Level 2.
Answer 5 :
From www.Dell.com They have very competitive rates, also can get payments by instalments, for certain bank's credit cards.
Answer 6 :
normally its best for u to go to IT center. There's one in Subang Parade, one in Sunway Pyramid, But, the whole Low Yat Plaza located at Bukit Bintang sells computer and computer stuffs.
Answer 7 :
Best place would be Low Yat Plaza. Any brand you know most probably available there. Good luck.
Answer 8 :
Hello Try dell. Easy and fast. go to their website and order online. Your fully customize laptops will be deliver to you in a couple of days.
Answer 9 :
Best known place for laptops and those who are looking high tech gadget and accessories will normally go to Low Yatt Plaza to do some surveying before buying. They have lots of varieties to choose from those well know brand to those that u didn't even know existed!! Got my Toshiba laptop from there too! Great price range. I'll recommend u to take up the 3 years warranty as well as for laptop normally start giving u problem after the first year. What is the few more hundreds if compare to your few thousands ringgit of investment in the latest technologies?? Plus they normally throw in lots of freebies when they are trying to close the sales, just be sure to check the freebies if it is compatible with your softwares or not. I didn't end up some not compatible with my vista. Cheers & Good Luck
Answer 10 :

Some had referred to me that Sunway Pyramid and Subang Parade's IT centers are not bad for a bargain too... I got mine in Sunway by the way :-)
Answer 4 :
Megamall, Midvalley, Center Court -Level 2.
Answer 5 :
From www.Dell.com They have very competitive rates, also can get payments by instalments, for certain bank's credit cards.
Answer 6 :
normally its best for u to go to IT center. There's one in Subang Parade, one in Sunway Pyramid, But, the whole Low Yat Plaza located at Bukit Bintang sells computer and computer stuffs.
Answer 7 :
Best place would be Low Yat Plaza. Any brand you know most probably available there. Good luck.
Answer 8 :
Hello Try dell. Easy and fast. go to their website and order online. Your fully customize laptops will be deliver to you in a couple of days.
Answer 9 :
Best known place for laptops and those who are looking high tech gadget and accessories will normally go to Low Yatt Plaza to do some surveying before buying. They have lots of varieties to choose from those well know brand to those that u didn't even know existed!! Got my Toshiba laptop from there too! Great price range. I'll recommend u to take up the 3 years warranty as well as for laptop normally start giving u problem after the first year. What is the few more hundreds if compare to your few thousands ringgit of investment in the latest technologies?? Plus they normally throw in lots of freebies when they are trying to close the sales, just be sure to check the freebies if it is compatible with your softwares or not. I didn't end up some not compatible with my vista. Cheers & Good Luck
Answer 10 :
i think all computer shop have...
Answer 11 :
try imbi plaza or low yat.. some great shops in Midvalley as well.. if u want a peace of mind u better by straight from DELL or HP
Answer 12 :
Anywhere if you want a Sony VIAO, there are sony shops in every shopping mall. If you want a place with lots of computer shops you can try Low Yat Plaza, digital mall in PJ. Places like mid valley, and sunway piramid has IT zones too where you can get your laptop.
Answer 13 :
Spoilt for choice: Imbi Plaza, Plaza Low Yat, Sungei Wang, (all next door to each other in Bukit Bintang) Midvalley or try Dell.com.my

What are the best places for buying laptops in KL ? Any place where I can get great deals ?
Malaysia - 7 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
If you really want to bargain and find the highest density of notebook shops, then head for Low Yat Plaza. You just have to take the KL Monorail train to Imbi stop, get down and walk about 30 to 40 meters and it is there. Everybody in the area knows where it is, don't worry you can ask once you get there is unsure. Another place to go is MidValley although the prices can be abit more expensive than LowYat.
Answer 2 :
Your nick looks local. Anyways they are dirt cheap nowadays. As low as RM1,600 you can own a laptop. There's probably 2 places you can go. First is Low Yat, which is located behind Sungei Wang Plaza. Make sure you check every stores before buying because every stores offer something special and most important, remember to bargain. The other place you can go is the new Digital Mall at section 14 Petaling Jaya. There's plenty of varieties as well and it works exactly the same as Low Yat. In fact you can find similar companies in both malls. One thing you should know about buying electronics. If you are paying cash, you can bargain for a really low price. If you are paying by card, they'll charge you the % ranging from 3 ~ 5. So, know your budget and bring cash along with you.
Answer 3 :
laptop is cheaper in singapore
Answer 4 :
Singapore's Electronics Are Cheaper
Answer 5 :
Singapore is cheaper and latest model! First time I heard people going to Malaysia to buy lap top.
Answer 6 :
Low Yat Plaza is cool.. but 1 advice though (my hubby is working with computers co.) if you want to buy any IT products make sure they have world wide warranty cover. If not, u'll end up having ur laptop unrepaired if anything happen. Best choice is, to buy it somewhere near to your home, though the price is quite tingy.. but in the end, if anything happen to your laptop, you wont want to go back to Malaysia to get it repaired right?
Answer 7 :
Cheapest laptop - China & Japan. But getting back to your Q's, since you're coming to Malaysia. Then welcome to Malaysia! 2 Major Spots for bargains & etc. - Lowyat Plaza @ KL. - Imbi Monorail If you go there, you can also visit Berjaya Times Square for shopping & etc. which is just opposite. - Digital Mall @ PJ. (Digital mall's also sister of Lowyatt. thus many of the shops there hv. company names & even boss.) Nearby PJ Hilton, Asia Jaya LRT station. Else you can check in websites like Dell, HP & etc. where they do free deliveries & etc. for you. It all boils down to which type of laptops & what's the specifications you wanted. Some of my friends from Europe & UK said the price of laptop in Malaysia's cheaper. It just depends on which country you're comparing from. Singapore of course is cheaper in most technology devices & versions, but are you going there & willing to spend money to go there :P Visit Malaysia on August, you can catch the Fireworks Festival @ Putrajaya & Sales season till 2nd Sept. 2007 //fuiyoh so bermegahx2 promoting malaysia :

Laptops here cost anywhere from RM 1800 up to even RM 10000. A decent one will cost usually around RM 2300. I don't know about laptops in India so I guess we have 2 wait 4 another user to answer?
Answer 2 :
depend on what brand you're looking for... if Acer, it might varies from RM1800 to RM3000 but, if you choose MacBook, well it start from RM5000 and up...
Answer 3 :
Laptops in Malaysia via Low Fat electronics mall in Bukit Bintang behind Sungei Wang si cheaper by about 15% than your place and my place in the Philippines , but bear in mind electronics are taxed when you bring it in your country especially India. So the savings you get is not even enough to pay the duties and taxes at the customs airport and also the after sales service will not be available or slow to respond from your local agency of the brand of laptop you bought. Am sure Laptops are cheaper in India because most of laptop components are now made in India. Clothing and shoes are great buys in Malaysia , cell phones and electronic gadget buy in India.
Answer 4 :

Answer 5 :
Get it online from the Dell in Malaysia. It's easier and hassle free, further more 10% cheaper compare to computer shops

Do US laptops work in Malaysia
Do US laptops work in Malaysia?
I am moving to Malaysia and would like to buy a laptop to use there. I am thinking of purchasing one at an electronics store here in the US. Will it work out of the box in Malaysia? Do I need a power adapter or does Malaysia have the same voltage as us? If not, should I buy a Malaysian laptop that is better suited for their voltage or are they identical with the exception of AC/DC adapter?
Malaysia - 15 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Since they are a poorer country the voltage might be different, but I really don't know. As for the laptop, you will be fine. In fact, many US laptops are sold in Malaysia anyway.
Answer 2 :
If you are planning to move to Malaysia permanently or for an considerable length of time then I would purchase a laptop while you are over there. Not only would it cost less but if you have any problems with your U.S laptop, then you would have to ship it back home to get it repaired or try and find a Malaysian repair shop. If you are only going for a short period of time then yes, it will work although you would have to buy either a voltage converter or a simple converter to change the plug output. Unfortunately I am not sure what they use over there.
Answer 3 :
it will work, they usually sport around 220-240 volts but if you are in a nice hotel, a receptionist will provide you with an adapter
Answer 4 :
Most of the laptop power adapter is of worldwide voltage or auto voltage.Do physically check if it is so.The malaysian voltage is of 220-240Volts.The standard power plug point is of the British type with earth.Just get a 2 prong power adapter from any computer stores or hardware stores in Malaysia.Theres no problem with repairs as all major computer companies have their office in Kuala Lumpur. Beware of malaysian snatch thieves. Good luck
Answer 5 :
Buy it in Malaysia.Elecrtronics are fairly cheap there. Also as some one else mentioned, servicing it would be difficult if you buy it in the US. I made a mistake of buying an Apple G4 from the US while I live inthe Middle East. It had a major problem from the first day. And I couldn't be bothered to send a heavy computer back to the US for service. Even if you pay a little extra in Malaysia for your laptop it's still worth being able to get it serviced there.
Answer 6 :
Yes of course it will work here. But since you'll be MOVING to Malaysia, I wouldn't suggest that. Because of luggage, carrying & etc. won't be that good & will cost some money. You can easily purchase laptops in Malaysia besides on online. Dell, HP, Apple Mac all have centers here & provides online purchase & delivery right to your home. If you would like to make your purchase yourself, here are a few good IT centers for various brands, gadgets & versions at:- Digital Mall, Location: Section 14, Petaling Jaya, State: Selangor. Low Yatt Plaza, Location: near Imbi Monorail Station, Kuala Lumpur. & most shopping malls have their own IT floor as well. Actually most states have computers shops for basic hardwares & softwares.
Answer 7 :
Being "poorer" had nothing to do with laptops. Can I suggest that you buy one when you arrive. That way you can be guaranteed that it will work on whatever electrical system you come across and will not have to buy any more attachments. You can always give it away/sell it when you leave
Answer 8 :
Buy there or better still get it from Singapore - computer capital of the world - wider choices, better prices! Singapore's voltage is 220 - 240 volts AC, 50 cycles per second (same in Msia). There are two options. If the voltage and cycles are the same as Singapore's you can purchase adapters. The plugs for the outlet are three pronged. You can buy adapters in any hardware store, and they'll cost you between $10.00 and $12.00 Singapore dollars. I recommend the adapter where you can simultaneously plug in two pronged; flat and round, and three pronged plugs. If the voltage and cycles are not compatible you can purchase transformers. Any appliance with a clock in it will not keep the correct time and my colleague tells me her lamps over heat. Stereos will work fine using a transformer, but TV's may be in another format and unable to receive the signal here, so you should check with the manufacturer and see what they recommend (for example a US TV will not work in Singapore; the Singapore signal is sent in PAL format). Any appliances that run continuously or that are used frequently are not recommended to be used with transformers as it can damage the motor after using for a period of time. Any DIY store (same as a hardware store) has a good selection of various transformers and converters. There is also a website that sells these items. They do not provide too much information though so unless you know exactly what you want it may not be too helpful. Here is their address: http://www.travelsupplies.com
Answer 9 :
Your laptop will work fine anywhere in the world. Just make sure it comes with a 110/220 universal charger, which should as all laptop are supposed to come with it. Just to be sure, ask to make sure the laptop you are purchasing comes with this universal charger. That will allow you to plug in and charge your battery/laptop and it will work normally. Next, you will need to purchase a universal plug adapter which allows you to plug into any type of plug point in the world as different country/continent uses different type of plug points. Some 3 pins, some 2 pins, some round pins, some flat pins etc etc etc, which I find it makes life complicated for no reason at all. But anyhow, I guarantee you that you will find this small investment in purchansing this little gadget and having it with you whenever you travel, the best investment you have ever made !! Bon voyage !!

Answer 11 :
breadbasket231 never been to malaysia. Dont listen to him. Malaysia is not a Poor country. We are One of the most developed country in the world. Probably breadbasket231 is still living up a tree and have never learn about world geography. Malaysia electricity is based on the UK system at 220-240V at 50Hz. If yrs is based on a 110V, u can always get an adapter. Dell have their Manufacturing plant in Penang, Malaysia. All laptop that have Intel Processer, the Intel processor is manufactured in Penang, Malaysia. All major Player like SOny, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Hyundai, Compag, Hp, Canon, IBM, Lenovo are all here. That guy is living in a pond. Dont listen to him. James C
Answer 12 :
Yes, it will. A laptop is fed via a "mini-transformer" which is capable of automatically adjusting to various input voltage levels. But, you might have the problem that the "funny" US plugs do not fit into the Malaysian power outlets. So, buy your laptop locally or in Singapore. The "poor" countries of Western Europe have the same voltage as Malaysia, so who came up with the idea that electric current levels are related to purchasing power per capita?
Answer 13 :
Of course your laptop will work here. Otherwise just buy one in Malaysia, it isnt that expensive either. You will find all the major brands selling laptop here like fish cakes. We have Apples, Toshiba, Compaq, Sony etc. For heaven sakes, dont listen to the first answerer. He must have been hiding in his cave all his life. Electronic goods are cheap.
Answer 14 :
When i visited the U.S in 2003, i bought a laptop from Portland, Oregon and it worked just fine in Malaysia. The laptop came with an adaptor. The voltage in U.S and Malaysia is different. You can buy cheap good brands laptops at the IT fairs there. Breadbasket ... you sounded so dumb!! For your info, Intel and Hewlett Packard hv big factories there. The country is one of the biggest manufacturers of computer chips and hardware and other electronic parts in the world. Their computers are sold in the U.S. Maybe you ought to read or get out of your cocoon.
Answer 15 :
braed,if u r not sure don't mess, but u seem to be no# 1, congratulation! it sound like Malaysian voltage is 110 minus 1 or 2 or 3 = 109/108/107 volt. but it comes out to be 220/240 volts. much bigger than urs, surprise
I am moving to Malaysia and would like to buy a laptop to use there. I am thinking of purchasing one at an electronics store here in the US. Will it work out of the box in Malaysia? Do I need a power adapter or does Malaysia have the same voltage as us? If not, should I buy a Malaysian laptop that is better suited for their voltage or are they identical with the exception of AC/DC adapter?

Answer 1 :
Since they are a poorer country the voltage might be different, but I really don't know. As for the laptop, you will be fine. In fact, many US laptops are sold in Malaysia anyway.
Answer 2 :
If you are planning to move to Malaysia permanently or for an considerable length of time then I would purchase a laptop while you are over there. Not only would it cost less but if you have any problems with your U.S laptop, then you would have to ship it back home to get it repaired or try and find a Malaysian repair shop. If you are only going for a short period of time then yes, it will work although you would have to buy either a voltage converter or a simple converter to change the plug output. Unfortunately I am not sure what they use over there.
Answer 3 :
it will work, they usually sport around 220-240 volts but if you are in a nice hotel, a receptionist will provide you with an adapter
Answer 4 :
Most of the laptop power adapter is of worldwide voltage or auto voltage.Do physically check if it is so.The malaysian voltage is of 220-240Volts.The standard power plug point is of the British type with earth.Just get a 2 prong power adapter from any computer stores or hardware stores in Malaysia.Theres no problem with repairs as all major computer companies have their office in Kuala Lumpur. Beware of malaysian snatch thieves. Good luck
Answer 5 :
Buy it in Malaysia.Elecrtronics are fairly cheap there. Also as some one else mentioned, servicing it would be difficult if you buy it in the US. I made a mistake of buying an Apple G4 from the US while I live inthe Middle East. It had a major problem from the first day. And I couldn't be bothered to send a heavy computer back to the US for service. Even if you pay a little extra in Malaysia for your laptop it's still worth being able to get it serviced there.
Answer 6 :
Yes of course it will work here. But since you'll be MOVING to Malaysia, I wouldn't suggest that. Because of luggage, carrying & etc. won't be that good & will cost some money. You can easily purchase laptops in Malaysia besides on online. Dell, HP, Apple Mac all have centers here & provides online purchase & delivery right to your home. If you would like to make your purchase yourself, here are a few good IT centers for various brands, gadgets & versions at:- Digital Mall, Location: Section 14, Petaling Jaya, State: Selangor. Low Yatt Plaza, Location: near Imbi Monorail Station, Kuala Lumpur. & most shopping malls have their own IT floor as well. Actually most states have computers shops for basic hardwares & softwares.
Answer 7 :
Being "poorer" had nothing to do with laptops. Can I suggest that you buy one when you arrive. That way you can be guaranteed that it will work on whatever electrical system you come across and will not have to buy any more attachments. You can always give it away/sell it when you leave
