i might be getting a position with Microsoft soon and they have a policy of not using their competitor products, so i think this is a good time to sell of my macbook and get a new laptop with Sandybridge.

You have very few options for now.
You don't have option if you want better i7 than i7-2630QM.

With your budget, you can actually get Sager.

Mucro can send it to your doorstep via DHL.

Happy shopping.

wait sager? seriously? you don't mind the design?
if you dun mind the wait. Its cheaper to import directly from US

No it's not.
I have checked and compared the all-in price at Xoticpc & GentecPC.
It's not really cheap. The postage is high.

Recently, i found that quite a number of people promoting mucro.asia.

You can compare the price (including postage) and the specs.
Mucro is offering a very competitive price for current SB notebooks.

just went through the mucro.asia site and the sager price is quite tempting. i just checked the price for this set of 2.0ghz SB with 8gb ram and 120gb ssd is only 5.5k. im thinking of grabbing this one.

Don't spend your money on SSD.
You can get your "aftermarket" SSD.

Spend your money on CPU & GPU first.
You can grab yourself an SSD later.

for a person like me, i dont really mind how the laptop design is. my concern is more on performance.

hmm. what do u mean by aftermarket ssd? interesting. should i get the sager w/o hdd then.

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

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.. thumbup.gif

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.

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

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

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

Option 1

Option 2

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).
