That's odd. I never thought/heard of people heading to Malaysia to buy technology gear.

 

But on the other hand, often hear about people from Thailand doing technology shopping while in Singapore -- which would seem from your source above to be a bad move.

We used to have friends in the US buy electronics for us while they were in Japan, Korea, Taiwan. The downside was usually the lack of global warranty.   Those bargain prices are long gone.  Now it's all about what retailer can secure large quantity discounts and unsold merch return agreements.

Having moved back and forth between Thailand and Malaysia for years (the visa shuffle) my impression was the tech stuff available in Malaysia was about the same as in Thailand, and the price difference with things like laptops and external hard drives was negligible.

But you can get a laptop there without Thai characters on the keyboard.

Appears not the exact same spec , so maybe same price/spec.. or could be more expensive in Malaysia

The specs are too varied to make any price comparisons.

That InvadeIt sells one with no OS should remind us, this is how they do it in Asia.

thanks all for the response !

[ignis]

maybe got it wrong ....  is the OP post saying 17 referring to a 17"  laptop ? or was it meant to be a i7 CPU ?   

 

as 'RichCor' posts are all 15" Laptops.... guess I miss understood what the 17 was..

 

as I was only looking the other day what 17" laptops where here... not many

As I am visiting thailand from india in a few weeks and I wanted to buy a laptop from there. The online price of the laptop is around 60000 bhat on invadth , I wanted to know how much less will I find it for in the stores like in PANTIP or FORTUNE mall. tia

OP, please don't start additional topic threads unless you have a different question from one you've already posted.

 

 

I don't think you'll find people willing to do your price-comparison shopping for you, that's something you'll have to do on your own. And given all the differing drive storage configurations that model comes in it makes for a difficult comparison.  

 

You might be better off asking what stores might have the laptop currently in stock, so when you get here you can check it out for yourself.

FYI, the Skylake CPU was launched in August 2015. Kaby Lake CPU officially launched in January 2017.

OP refers explicitly to "kabylake" which will run Windows 10 only, thus will run none of the earlier Windows operating systems.

 

I've read somewhere that n this case 15" size seems to be no problem at all for those people who are using their VR glasses ;-)

In such a case, so I've read somewhere, size does not matter anymore. So, OP's choice is a good choice.

 

At this moment in time I would not pay more than 55.000 Baht and 50.000 Baht is a price too low. Would buy the laptop at its location of usage because in my experience retail prices of well known brands do not differ much between countries, and must go back in case the laptop malfunctions during the first two years of its warranty period.
