We are currently on our way to Singapore via KL. Any ideas as to which is the best place to buy a laptop? Any recommendations as to shops would be appreciated.

For basic laptops I think the prices will be pretty much the same with minor variation. The place that I like to look around for electronics in Singapore is Sim Lim Plaza. The Apple Macbook Air is nice

I think Hanuman meant Sim Lim Square.

Another place would be Funan Center which is near Raffles City and the City Hall MRT station.

Check here for price guides:

There's an active forum there if you need more specific IT related help.

I bought one quite a few years back at Funan Center and was very impressed by the knowledge of the staff, very helpful. Price was also a bargain ! Can't remember which shops it was but it was a Compaq ( now HP I think ) and they had a very large selection, hence the use of knowledgeable staff.
These days though I guess best to research which model youi want in advance.
That hardwarezone link from KM looks useful.

Thanks, I will check these out on arrival in Singapore.

clive---surprised you need this type of modern convenience, given your new wandering and basic life style??

Bob, You are probably right. Given the place we are staying now in KL i doubt that a laptop will fit in the room!
