Hi, Im considering recontracting to Maxonline 12000 to get the laptop offer. But how long would be the wait for collection/delivery, does anyone here knows? Pls share your experiences.

currently my 4M maxonline cable is about $50+ every month. New contract with free laptop is $71+, it is an additional of $20 plus. $20 x 28 months = $560. Do observe the specs of that laptop... consider entry level.
Provided u need and use the cable internet heavily ! if not wasted.
I did sign up fhr the maxonline deal, via the internet.
my estimate, based on the information given in the fine print:
1. for starhub to process application up to 6 weeks, and login my details for HP.
2. login to HP website to order laptop.
3. 1-2 week for HP to contact me to arrange delivery.
Oh well....
i see the most funniest plan is the sign up 3 plans get a 20" LCD with a DVR, think they pulling a fast 1, how come still need a mobile plan but dun seem to benefit much...
was thinking of the DVR but see the condition damnit, 2 year, with 200+ wah lao eh... luck i got 3 digital set top with 2 dvd/hdd recorder that can do timeshift. only thing my room dun have a dvr... super sian is i on ultimate plan for both cable & internet... darn it nothing to redeem...
I've decided to get the desktop but one thing thats holding me back is that I'm told HP desktop casing have a security seal. If the seal is broken than warranty is void. Does that mean that you can't upgrade the ram, or add another HDD or DVD drive or change video cards when you want to? Can't we open the casing to clean the dust inside?
Anyone knows about this policy regarding HP products and if there's a way to get around this? Cos I believe ram is cheaper at Sim Lim and I want to transfer some thibgs from my old PC to the HP one.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I have factored in all costs already. As I do need to get an entry-level laptop for my friend, getting this would be most appropriate for me. I only face 2 issues now - 1. How long is the wait 2. No idea if current cable modem can support 12000 speeds.
Thanks!
forgot one thing.. the national wireless internet will be up in 2007, which is FREE as said.
and.. prices of laptops will continue to dive cheap in years to come. :lovegrin:
From reading some threads on HWZ, apparently HP will NOT void your warranty if you upgrade RAM, change hard disk etc, even though the seal is broken. In the event of any problems, only if they determined that your upgrade had caused the damage will they void your warranty. You can call HP yourself to verify rather than asking for opinions to be really safe.
Anyway, I'm on MaxOnline and cable TV, but no voice plan. My current M1 mobile plan is coming to an end. So was considering signing recontracting MaxOnline and Digital Cable and to sign up for a mobile plan to get the LCD TV. Don't get what you guys meant by "the cost of the plans is just too much" ?? Thought quite worth it leh since I'm paying for the services anyway :think:
Places near Mc Donalds, Spinelli, KFC etc will go up in price very soon! heheheheHmm now that u mention, is the nationwide free wireless internet also available to homes too? If so, a 28 mths contract would be irreversible by then. Heh..
