No AMD in Dell.com
While I believe less Malaysians prefer to buy Dell or shop online too, this is definitely a good news for their rivals such as HP, Acer and Lenovo who has stores or retail partners all over Malaysia such as Courts, NCS, PCDepot, small computer shops and even hypermarkets such Tesco and Carefour. These computer vendors has long became AMD’s partner and selling wide range of AMD’s based processor systems.
For AMD, Dell represents a small chunk of its sales only and this action won’t directly impact its earning.
For you who wants to get Dell’s based AMD system in peninsular Malaysia, the only place you can get it is at Midvalley Megamall Shopping Centre and Lowyat Plaza, while there is 1 store in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah which belongs to TecAsia. You might get the 2nd hand systems from Lowyat.net or Lelong.com.my.

HI Zaki,
Thanks for the update.
Interesting. I wonder why Dell decided to no longer sell AMD based systems?
I actually prefer Intel, so I’ll be looking to dell for a new laptop before college.
I do Intel too.
But I won`t mind if Dell will do a better product.
I never try AMD yet, and never planning to do so. Just plan to visit dell shop at megamall..gosh, im totally forget about this plan until i read your post :p
owh.. i like amd and i like dell.. i like dell vostro with amd based one..
It just a rumor and Dell vostro with amd based is still available. I prefer cheaper but reliable product. And AMD suits me well. Far from dropping AMD based system, dell actually introduce AMD Tri-Core Phenom.

… This is off topic, but I’m using openoffice for my work. So amd and intel is no different for me. On the other hand, using expensive M$ Windows is kind of…
Dell has giving the option of shipping with Ubuntu Linux to its Canadian and Latin America customers. I hope it will available for Malaysian too.
Interesting information. Thanks for sharing this. Keep up the good work, I have enjoyed your blog.
