better to get a laptop in US, if anything goes wrong, you still hv warranty to begin with. remember to learn some home recipe, that is more important than doing last minute shopping. if you ask international student what they missed the most, their answer must be food or partner or.............family?. you cant buy home cooking anywhere else but home.

Aiyo, buy the laptop herelah. How much cheaper can you get in US? You can have all the softwares, games and whatever junk loaded and use it on the flight mah. As for the model and brand, you won't go wrong with any of these market leader - HP, Dell, Sony or Fujitsu. Who knows your taste more than youself, su ann?

Hey hun, i think Keit is right in his own way. When we come in the page u can't really see the word advertorials. Could be to do with page coding? NT too sure. Just a thought.

su ann, i think you can just call dell customer support and have your warranty transferred over. They have some regulations/restrictions/t&c on the transfers but should be no problem going from MY->USA or vice versa, at least i had no problems. just make sure you get the same warranty/years transferred over.

the reason why it is cheaper in the States is because of the great deals/offers you can get for laptops over there. Minus that, the price is about the same (maybe more expensive because of the tax there). Dell Malaysia has some crappy deals like rm100 off or free laptop bag etc, while Dell US has discounts like usd 500 off, but not all the time though. End of year is near, so should start keeping your eye out for discounts and coupons.

Try the Dell Studio line.. Really nice laptop with better-than-average features. It's a model that sits between the XPS and Inspiron line so you get the best of both. If u do intend to get the XPS, just be aware that the palm rest tend to get hot sometimes because it's made of metal (or aluminium).

Just my 2 cents worth since I work with lotsa Dell machines.

an SSD is a Solid-state drive. Regular hard drives have rotating metal discs. SSDs have no moving parts in them.

SSDs are faster and more energy-efficient. regular hard drives currently are way, way cheaper and they offer much bigger capacities.

Omg... leaving in 2 weeks, so soon!!! Time really really flies by!
Yaya, must blog about food.. I miss your food posts. But I'm in australia, can't try out your recommendation if you wrote one.
Sigh... I can relate with your bad experience with the accounting lady, though mine not similar case or place. I think it's just a Malaysian attitude. I bet if you're a 40+ woman she won't even dare to say anything. The reason she dare to nag (bully) you is coz you're young. :(
Take care, good luck in preparing for your journey! :)))

Dell XPS M1330 one of the sexier models around. But make sure you get 3 years warranty to go with it. The 9 cell battery is heavy like a sack of potatoes but goes on and on and on and on. The only thing is whether they provide the same kind of excellent service over in the US.

Dang, the people at the US embassy here weren't nearly as nice or good-looking. My interviewer was this really bitchy girl and I was freaked out of my socks. Glad that's over with.

Re: Randomosity

C-Y — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:47:58 -0000

You are welcome. I think US here cheaper because of the deals or sales through online shopping. Can recommend you the websites where sometimes can find some good deals.
www.dealsea.com
www.fatwallet.com
www.dealsofamerica.com
I hope you enjoy NY and good luck of getting your laptop
(I never been to NY...=) )

kreazi : they wanted me to write letters before they would reissue the cheques :\ like you, i didnt know that they expired within 6 months too .. and yup she did say that it's a very tedious process if the payees dont clear their cheques

carol : thank you my dear!! got it

xxx : thank you! i will check out the hp!

ky : only if we can call daphne... !

wunmin : yes i've heard about the overheating :\ definitely a cause for concern. as for apple, it would take some time for me to get used to the OS, and i really wanna use my computer asap when i get to NY :\

keit : well if you took a bit of initiative you would find that the post is categorised under Advertorials. please do give me a good reason why i need to plaster big sentences like THIS IS A PAID POST all over my blog :) in my humble opinion it is completely unnecessary and especially redundant if people already can tell it's an ad the moment they look at it

1. spank u! blogging at 5.13 am! u are destined to come to NY. then u should be fine as u are already living the eastern time zone.

2. hey, the acc lady is a bully. the Star has to honor the contract with u. this means her job is to issue u new cheques no matter how tedious.(it is her employment contract with the Star to function) u must be paid as u did not break a contract, u just lapsed some cheques which is not uncommon. ur hard earned rewards!! .l..here in USA lawsuits possibly will follow esp this is a big company....many lawyers will be happy to act for u. go talk to higher officers/managers to resolve.
