I believe some of the prices here are NOT excluding the bundled software that some polytechnics bundle in their laptops.

As an ex-NP student, I know that NP bundles software such as Microsoft Office when you purchase a laptop through them. Software that is relevant to the student's course can be installed through their respective schools for no additional fee.

My apologies for the grammatical error... I meant not INCLUDING bundled software in my first line there.

Anyone has any idea what is the new offer this year as I am getting one for my brother. But wondering whether to buy from IT show or from the school. But Poly usually offer a good range & most importantly the price is really good but depend on the models offered. Hopefully, there is good deal from Fujitsu or HP.
