Buying a laptop in Singapore?
I am migrating to another country, and I have a pretty long transit at Singapore. Now, I badly need to buy a laptop / notebook PC for myself. Is it cheap and technologically advisable to buy it in Singapore? How are the price? How can I do this search when I get off there? How can I make payments? Any good recommendations on shops?

Answer 1 :
You may have some problems with warranty and such.I'd say buy one when you're in whatever country you're migrating you.It's not like you'll be getting better deals here anyway.Mabye a larger selection but that's it

Well you can do but then its horrible trying to get service if something goes wrong and actually I think they are cheaper in the states.
Answer 2 :

Answer 3 :
I would by it from whoever has the best support and return/warranty policy for the laptop you get...
Answer 4 :
hi there. About the price, laptops have different kinds of prices depending on their characteristics and power. about your budget, i have no idea about the conversion of your money since i live here in italy. .. anyway, lets say that there is a laptop that have the same characteristics in india and singapore and lets just say (hypothetically!) that in singapore is a little bit cheaper, maybe $50 in difference (according to the global price market). If you buy that laptop in singapore which is cheaper, and you bring that on your home country, what if that laptop have some factory defects? Are you gonna go back to singapore just to return your defective laptop? remember that the guaranty and warranty of a merchandise is only applicable on the store where you bought it.. are you willing to spend more money and time just to save a couple of bucks? If you buy your laptop in your country, anytime you can bring the product back and let them fix it under the warranty period without spending even a cent. be a smart buyer. hope my answer enlightened you.. ciao!

Answer 2 :
shud have checked out the IT fair man, there were so many good deals... got my present lappy from there. but you can always check out funan. sim lim, not so sure coz it has a reputation for scammers, but still worth a try.
Answer 3 :
12 -- 15 June is one of the BEST time during PC SHOW. If you need a PC/Laptop, Should be the BEST Prices during 2009. If not you have to wait till 2010 April. Between June and next April, i don't think any very new model / Technology for PC/Laptop. Visit the First / Second day for the PC Show, you get sometimes GOOD BUY.
Answer 4 :
wait for the IT fair in june! that's what i'm going to do. i don't think the prices will be much much better but i'm pretty sure there'll be lots of promotional benefits like free items, etc.

During IT fair in June, dont forget to be the 1st in quee even before they open, once they open.. go in, check out the various brands, specs which you have in your mind, the brand/model.. sure got some promotions and offers lah.. easy monthly installment options also got, provided you got the credit card.. Now - dont buy.. can? :D hehehe

Singapore used to be a great place to buy such electronics but I bought a laptop in Canada that priced out to be cheaper than the older model that was sold in Singapore!
