After some browsing across various platforms, I found an almost ideal MacBook with a reasonable age, specs and affordable price. I dropped them a message and soon I picked up my MacBook Air from the shop! I suspect mine was from a company as it was connected to various wireless keyboards. I've used it for about 2 months and I'm happy with it so far.
3/10/2018 update: Laptop still fine!
Some pointers when buying from Zaranet:
- Units are not from Malaysia
- Units are not from individuals (this could mean companies or display units?)
- Zaranet will not buy your old unit (no trade in)
- Comes with short warranty (I believe it was 1 week so check everything in that week!)
- Keyboard and speakers will be tested on the spot
- Prices are cheapest on their Zaranet Mudah store
Issues
- They may not have the exact model and spec you want as they're all secondhand units
- Some minor dents/scratches (they're not new after all~)
- My battery was due for replacement which will set me back a few hundred but it can function with current battery so didn't bother
- The jumping cursor issue (solved-they gave me the original charger instead of the earlier 3rd party one after I returned to the shop)
They also sell some accessories here. I got this keyboard protector for free but I hate how it felt so I removed it in the end LOL
You can find the shop by searching for Zaranet in Waze.
Address: Lot 1.25, Mid Point Shopping Centre, Jalan Pandan Indah 1/25, Pandan Indah, 55100 Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
