I believe you are referring to the Challenger store. Rite?bigfilsing wrote:I've never been a big fan of IBM but must admit i've seen some great deals at Funan.
Just walk around the 4 th floor you can't miss them( can't remember the shop)
The good thing about these branded PC's over the "build your own" at Sim lim is the support and warranty/ Personally i love building PC's but if you want hassle free it's not the way to go.
I seem to remember IBM offering free ram upgrades ( ala Dell) lately too.
Good luck
Challenger is on six and is not the cheapest. Newstead Technologies is on four... right in front of the escalator... I've bought five IBM laptops there so far... very good price... great service... decent discounts on additional software and other upgrades... friendly staff.vjsimon wrote:I believe you are referring to the Challenger store.

I can help you out with the sim lim deals. I always patronise the place till almost everyone know me. Avoid level 4 ah beng shop. He is very rude and he only gives you $1.00 discount only. If you argue and bargain with him, he will scold you.muscularman wrote:Harvey Norman is the "best place" to get your pc, best place means reliable no hanky panky business going around unlike Sim Lim Square, there are many CROOKS there.
You patronize Sim Lim Square better BEWARE, CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!
I think its a sad old affair, that Sim Lim prey on the tourist, and local, I have had a few discussions down there and still how ever much the guy gave me in accessories, especially for the Sanyo Xacti, which i was enquiring about, I wouldn't take the offer, he showed me first the RRP on the brouchure at 1999$ he showed me, many receipts of sales over 1000$ some 1,400 for and he finally went to 900$ and I still said no.anti_spy999 wrote:I can help you out with the sim lim deals.

I checked the price on Sanyo's website, the same camera was 599$ US, so he wasn't giving much away, what he was doing, was his sales technique of making one believe he is giving you value for money, and justifying his high price, by throwing in accessories. You can get a good deal, if you do your research, and don't give in to the verbal crap, close your ears!
This same camera without memory is around 500$ here in Sing, and thats on Orchard Rd Computer no different, you need to know what you are doing.
