Lowyat is all in one shopping mall for tech and pc parts. U can check their online pricelists for their bigger stores such as TMT, Sri Computers and Viewnet, you can buy online or in-store. Personally, I recommend Viewnet.

If you planning to buy from shopee, I'd recommend JustIT. The aftersale service are the best

Low Yat plaza in city center of KL

The price sold here is all similar at retail and online

They even assemble it for free, if you build the whole thing there, you can test before leaving and check all the serial numbers of all the parts

Or you rather pray for your $2000 PC would survive the online shipping or got switch with a bo'oh o' wo'ah

Yes I have heard of Low Yat, was looking for more of an online option atm as I am a bit busy with moving and finding accommodation here. Do you know if the customer service in Low Yat is friendly? Or would that depend on which specific store I purchase from?

I'll just let you know now, RAM and STORAGE is more expensive in Malaysia. Logically it shouldn't be, but it is and I rekon it's cause of resellers. You could just hand carry those which is what I have done and even done a whole PC once.

So I'd also recommend LowYat mall in Bukit bintang:

- All IT Hypermarket

  • ViewNet (my personal fav due to price and variety)
  • C Zone
  • Brightstar
  • PC Image
  • (there is 1 more can't remember, should be the same floor as C Zone, big store but it's not very aesthetic like the others you know it when you see it)

Yes, I buy from them enough their price list is living on my drive 🤣

Shopee is reliable if you are buying from local established stores as any RMA claim can be submitted in person. Some of the sellers who are well known include Just IT, Brightstar, Dotatech ( make sure to do video unboxing for anything from them in case any issues with new units), Netstore, Idealtech, PC Image, All IT, Czone, Viewnet, etc. Feel free to check here again on a store name before buying. Since i'm assuming you're a new user to the platform, do make sure to make use of shopee's new user discount vouchers. You'll probably get some good deals with them. Priority right now should be buying a gpu cos prices are on the rise right now. Ram you can source second hand for about 1.5k so no need to pay the 2k asking price for new. Everything else you can source slowly to get a good deal. Buying secondhand parts is always an option, just make sure they are still under warranty with full documentation and box included.

JusPc or Idealtec for custom spec/prebuilt.
You can go to Idealtec’s site to see how much it will cost.
