For those who are keen to get a laptop, the best place to get it is in Singapore, not UK (read: v expensive). There are a couple of places to get it in Singapore, the more famous one being Funan Center (more upmarket) and Sim Lim Square (prepare for some bargaining;some might not be too comfortable with this place). The best time to buy laptops will be during the quarterly IT shows where there are bargains to pick up (prices are not a lot cheaper but they certainly throw in a lot more freebies i.e. more RAM, free thumbdrive etc). Look out for Straits Times Specials and CNET Asia which have a pretty good writeup prior to each event. But I recently discovered a even better bargain. If you have friends who are still studying at the local universities (NUS, NTU or SMU), you might want to ask them to help get you a laptop. Prices are significantly cheaper (the model I am eyeing is $400 cheaper + free extended international warranty to 3 years!).
