slmkhoo:

Can some kind person post Sapura's price list for the various options here? Or I can pm you my email address is that's more convenient. I am overseas and have been waiting for the info to be posted on the school's website, but it still isn't there. It would help us to know about the options ahead of time. Thanks!

The price list is posted on the school website.

Once you enter the RGS website, click on the button on the right which says \"RGS 1:1\". Then just click on the link for online purchase.

But just in case:

[quote=\"sunhux\"]There's lower-priced offers for Macbooks outside but I'm concerned if

there's any catch if we don't buy from Sapura. Any parents / seniors
care to share (if we don't buy from Sapura):

a) will my kid be discriminated against (or get lower priority) when it
comes to in-campus support by Sapura? (I'll certainly buy the
insurance & the $150 support fee from Sapura)
Your kid will not be discriminated if you buy from outside.
b) the freebies gadgets are not an issue to me but what about
the MS Office at S$80? Can I still get it at S$80 ?
Yes
c) there's a special 4-year insurance/warranty (outside only offers
3 years): can I opt to buy this 4-year insurance/warranty if I
don't buy from Sapura ?
No. You cannot buy extra year warranty. This is what made me buy from Sapura last year.I was worried about the laptop getting under-repair in the last year at RGS (before they go on to RJC). I think you can still buy 4 year insurance since it is not sapura but a third-party insurance company which will insure the laptop. Please check this with Sapura.
d) any other catch?
I don't think there is any other catch.Infact my dd has never gone to the helpdesk for any repair as yet.

Hi, I would like to know whether there will be a lot of downloading of information or installing on the Mac that requires a larger database? If so, would the Pro be more suitable? Furthermore, is it frequently that the gals will be using CD to install any program or work?


Thank you!

Hello,

Are the consequences serious? :siam:

Thank you!

The Microsoft Office will come in a CD, so you need a CD drive. As for the flash memory, 128GB will be sufficient for school, it depends on whether the user needs more space for personal use (e.g music, movies, apps etc.)
