you can get some rough guide prices at www.hardwarezone.com.sg. the great singapore sale is only as good if you find a good bargain.

Singapore is 240 volts, same as yours. Singapore is not the cheapest place to buy electronics. Most everything is cheaper in the US. I don't know if it is cheaper than India. You might check the prices in the link above and compare to what you can do locally. Also, you need to check your import regulations to insure that you do not find yourself required to pay duty.wassup wrote:actually i am not yet in singapore....will be reaching next month..so will the sale still be on....and also i have heard that singapore has 110V sockets, i am from india n here we have 220V...are transformers easily available..???
by import restricitons you mean if i buy in singapore and take back to india.....????
i think 1 laptop is allowed...more than that at a time and you have to pay duty....but not too sure about it...lets see....you are the first person who is saying that singapore is expensive for electronics..rest were all telleing me it is cheaper thna india...not sure at all tho....!!!!!

do your research at www.hardwarezone.com.sg and compare the prices in india snce you are not in singapore yet. then you can tell us if singapore is cheaper or more expensive. 

i have already gone thru this site....n the first thing i realised was that there r very few options in singapore....lot more choices in india actually...on first impression i think india is cheaper, but i have heard that there r a few very good sales in singapore...so kinda looking out for them...
actually makes no sense to directly convert from SGD to INR...
so still confused

Hi, Dell usually have promotion for online shopping. You can visit Dell.com.sg or see Today newspaper for more information.wassup wrote:hi all....can anyone advise me where i can buy a decent laptop from...

There will 4 IT related exhibitions every year. The next one will be in September.
One more thing, you can check with HP website. There will be a midnight and early bird sales every month.
I bought a laptop for my wife last month (w/ midnight sales) and it's quite ok.
thanks for the advice......although i have bought DELL last week....however the problem i am facing is in the audio quality and the performance of the in built spreakers...when i play music or songs the sound is good enuf, however when i am playing movies the sound is hardly adequate...can someone please advice.....???
