2nd this^^
Though i'm 100% more a KL person , but bias since i grew up there lol. I feel Malaysia is so so so underrated. It's almost perfect in the sense that it's a foreign country u can get away with with just english, everything's cheap. There's luxury if you want it, malls up the wazoo. Only con would be the price of cars and alcohol i guess but heyy Proton's getting pretty good

Interesting, i've always had the experience with Apple that if it was within the 2 week or 30 day(im too lazy to go check) period of having received the device, if there was any issue at all, they'd basically just give you a new one on the spot / take a refund and just buy the exact same model.
Edit: YMMV, i might just have been lucky and been dealt with by a very kind apple employee

THIS. I feel people outside of China dont understand how efficient sales in China is. I lived in Beijing during its boom form 2008 - 2010ish and it was CRAZY. My friend literally went on Taobao, messaged a seller for the latest macbook speced out decked out, talked down the price and half an hour later a guy came during our lunch break (we were in international school) and waited at our school gate where he took out the ordered macbook pro and showed him that everything was brand new unbox therapied that shit to us and my buddy paid in cash with options to pay using card. I was like "woah shit" . The most impressive thing was he did not have to pay until he was satisfied with what he was being showed. I enjoyed living in China, and am still waiting here in Canada till the day something like this is possible.
