Most of the freshmen of NUS are eagerly waiting for the new laptop offers to be up so that they can do their homework before heading down to the matriculation fair to buy their laptop. But the website is not updated with the latest laptop offers for the new academic year (visually).
The truth is the offers are already posted and some tricks are needed to view them. I have posted the laptops from this offers, here in GameBlog.
Disclaimer: As they have not update the links, the offers may not be the finalised one, so view at your own discretion. Cheers. (I will try to update when it is updated). Please note that the price stated are with the 7% GST.
