I pick performance over the transformer-look too.
People will give me a weird look if they see an uncle carrying a transformer-notebook.

Yes, you can customize without HDD.
But I'd suggest you get at least a 500GB 7.2rpm HDD.
This is because Mucro is selling it dirt cheap.
You won't get cheaper 7.2rpm HDD in our garage sales.
You'll can use the HDD as external storage, via either eSATA or SATA 3.0.

As for SSD, you don't really need to buy from Mucro/Sager.
You can buy from our online sellers at garage sales.
Cheaper too.

Yeah, aftermarket SSD at garage sales is far more cheaper than SSD from mucro and xoticpc..furthermore, the HDD option at both mucro n xoticPC is free ryte..better take them meh..

For Mucro, they will deduct RM100+ if you do not want to get HDD.
No additional cost for 320GB 7.2rpm HDD.
Additional RM63.89 for 500GB 7.2rpm HDD.

So, the price for 500GB is approx RM164.
That's cheap for a brand new 500GB 7.2K rpm HDD.

So, better take la dat HDD kan?

well, Asus G series come with 2 HDD bays... can config to ve 1 with SSD and the other with regular HDD...

Mucro Asia selling the G53JW for MYR4,917.57
Gentech is selling for roughly RM4.5k after conversion.
Shipping will cost below 100 USD, Mine cost 80USD

i see. ok. i think i might as well take the harddisk.

i see. can u share more details? how long was ur shipping. hows the process. i dont really have credit card so im not sure if its possible for me to buy with that. apparently mucro asia do COD so that was why i choose to try with that. but im interested to know about the details

Try dis website: http://sgcubehubs.com

Take a look at these 2 machines, the pricing is very tempting!

Option 1

Option 2

For the Sager, see how much the postage was quoted by Xoticpc (in US dollar).
The cheapest one would cost you USD315.

The price (for the notebook) is almost the same.
Go check the postage, the domestic postage can cost you from USD50-205.
It will cost you more than that for international shipping.

Look at the shipping cost quoted by Gentech (in USD) for the Sager.
It's either you got a very special rate or the freight has increased.

The shipping cost by Mucro Asia is only MYR227 (in ringgit, fully insured by DHL).
