Have you ever wondered what it’s like to order a whole laptop online? Have you ever how it works to order a Macbook Pro from Apple’s Online Store? Malaysia is one of the blessed countries to actually have an Apple store. You know many countries still don’t have them?

Oops, Maxis did it again!
Maxis’s inconsistencies is getting worse. Here’s my experience with ever since I port in to Maxis from the much better DIGI. 1) First, I hate that Maxis has two customer service.

Suddenly they will say, oh I can’t help you. Please call…
