My previous Sager that I sold (NP8690) has only 1 hour without gaming. But the newer models, like on my sig on order (NP8150) and some of the ones suggested in this topic, sports at least 2-3 hours not gaming.

The IC Diamond is a good choice yes because its a pretty decent thermal compound.

if it's Mucro Asia that u re dealing with, u can try negotiate with them to send the laptop to Australia instead of Malaysia...

of course the cost of shipping is going to be higher if u do that... that's wat my friend did when he ordered the NP8690...

Oh no no no, don't do this. I mean, it's not a bad thing but...Malaysia is known for no tax on electronics, therefore you only pay for laptop and shipping, while to Australia you will have to pay the electronic tax + shipping + laptop.

Well I suggest you obtain it in MY, then bring the laptop as your personal item, so no tax in Australia. If you're unable to get it within 14 days then, maybe what Astria said can also be an option.

@this is a lamp how did you order from lpc digital?

i want to get a p170hm with 2720qm+gtx 470m with everything as base unit otherwise

well, there are always loopholes to avoid that...

declaring as RMA items is one of the most popular way...

Hmm, I had a talk with a user who is a sales representative of LPC Digital in notebookreview.com (find user called babyhemi). He put me through every step and answered my questions happily.

So, from him, he just did my order, then he mailed me the quotes along with their bank details. I did a foreign telegraphic transfer from online Maybank to them then voila! It was the same with XoticPC as well, except XoticPC was more organised and cleaner procedures.

Oh...didn't think about that !

anyway, if TS really want to do that, and the AU custom dun buy the RMA story, take note that goods above the value of AU$1000 is taxable, even if it's personal stuff...

well i can do foreign telegraphic transfer to him how much will maybank charge me for ftt for usd 1700 any idea?

how much shipping cost did he charge you from USA to MSIA/AU??

Maybank charge only RM10 or something, not much, just do a conversion of $1700 to RM.

And shipping was $149.50

Aiyo you think can reach in about a week or so? if not cant i get it from a reseller in Australia?

150 shipping? damn i thought at best a 100 bucks

final question is it dhl/fedex/ups are they or are you using? or the cheaper usps? 149 for shipping is too much

It won't come in a week. Not with the current models, because they are selling so fast that even Flash can't touch them. The factories are churning out less than the orders are.

As for Australia, yes you can get from a reseller there. There are a couple; Pioneer Computers (ridiculous prices imho), LogicalBlueOne (I recommend this one) , there's another one but I can't remember.

It may be so that it's $149 but you add up the total for my overall system, it just comes to RM5k with shipping.

It's an UPS Express Mail Insured; well that's what it says on the invoice.

The Australian ones are ridiculous. Dont bother buying from there unless on sale.

My G73JH with blu ray and hybrid HDD cost more than 3kAUD without discount. Unless you got it on sale, don't bother buying it in aus.

damn okay im ordering it now hopefully it'll reach here fast. mucro asia is trustworthy right? and how's the payment process?

Transfer the $$ to their Maybank account.

@refnulf did you order from mucro?

is the shipping free to msia? how much is the shipping to subang jaya selangor for Sager NP8170?

i configured

i7 2720qm+gtx470m+4gb ram+no hdd+everything same for RM 5.5k

it would be sweet if 5.5k include shipping

logicalblueone actually has NP8150 for 1900 AUD thats good right?

specs are
-Processor Intel® Core™ i7-2720Qm 2.2Ghz Quad Core
Processor (Sandy Bridge)

It's decently priced, that's why I suggested Logical Blue One. If you know you can't find the time to receive in Malaysia then buy from LBO.
