I have just returned from Taiping and have been to your Tesco there I came ac ross a Lenovo Desktop with all the accessories assembled behind the monitor. It costs RM1,999 and was told by the salesgirl there that I can pay by 12 months interest free by Maybank Credit Card, Because of the distance, I decided not to buy it and was told that I can also buy it from J.B. Pl confirm I can buy it at your J.B. Br. before I drop in to buy it.
