After a long wait, the Malaysia’s Online Apple Store is now open, rivalling Dell which is one of the top computer online store in Malaysia. Although there’s no real Apple store in town yet, but an online store is already a lot better.

Buying any Apple or Mac product at the Apple store will get you a free T-shirt. Cool, shirt that you can’t get at any typical Apple Premium/Gold Reseller in Malaysia.

You can now shop for Apple products online, pay with you card and wait for it to arrive at your doorstep. That’s not the best part of all yet, some might think that getting it in the store is better than shopping online, but it’s pretty wrong.

Shopping online at Apple Store means you will get rid of your headache on which Apple Reseller to go, there’s Machine in Lot10, there’s EpiCentre in Pavilion, I like both, but I can’t decide which store to go. Let’s go online, and get rid of reseller store fanboyism. Haha, some more you get it delivered to your doorstep (for free on orders above RM250).

With the Toll Free line, you can actually speaks in the Bahasa Malaysia, the Malaysia’s National Language, but I won’t do that. This gives you a tech support for your product too.

You can now get iPod engraving and (PRODUCT) RED iPods on Apple Store now, you can’t be finding this in any of the Apple Reseller in Malaysia. It’s only available on the net. Too, you need not worry about DIY engraving which void your warranty, you can do it online.

Lastly, there’s the educational discount for high school, college and university student, isn’t that so cool (for me)?

In the meantime, Apple Asia also launched Apple Online Store in Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand. I wonder when will be the first official Apple Store in South East Asia?
