Prices for laptops in Singapore
Prices for laptops in Singapore
Hello!
I am moving to Singapore from Sweden this summer and I will be in great need of a laptop for my stay. Everyone tells me that the laptops are much cheaper in Singapore then in Sweden so I just wanted to check out what the prices are.
How much does a regular laptop cost in Singapore?
Kindly regards,
Albert Lindblom

Hi Albert,
As a rule of thumb, electronics of all sorts are about 15 to 20 percent cheaper than in Europe.
I bought a fully loaded IBM T42 Thinkpad with 512 meg memory, 80 gig drive, built in wifi and ether, writable CD, and XP pro for about $2300 Sing which is about $1400 US. One of our other moderators is into Dell and I believe he found a similar Dell laptop for about $2000 Sing, $1200 US. You can get cheaper off brands, you can pay more for widescreen, enhanced video, etc. but I think these numbers are pretty good benchmarks for moderately high end machines.
