Yes Sager has service centers in Australia. I am based in Australia as well and *had* a Sager (that I sold for a better one). Bought mine from the USA though, but I asked around in Australia (resellers), and they told me that it's possible to send them the laptop if needed, even if I did not buy the laptop from them.

14 days I don't think that's enough time if you're ordering from the States. Takes about half a week to assemble the parts, and probably another week to get to MY. Considering the insane amount of orders for all 3 new models of Sagers, the stock gets depleted and orders are delayed.
If you order from Mucro Asia (SG Sager reseller) quick enough, you might be able to get it in time, though. I think most Sager resellers have a "Rush order" options but you have to pay more though. This post has been edited by This is a Lamp: Jan 26 2011, 02:17 PM |

QUOTE(LappieToppie16 @ Jan 26 2011, 03:17 PM) Hows the battery life on your sager when not gaming? i think i've finally decided on the sager. hopefully i can get it fast enough. 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.is the IC diamond thermal compund advisable?  The IC Diamond is a good choice yes because its a pretty decent thermal compound. This post has been edited by This is a Lamp: Jan 26 2011, 03:29 PM |

QUOTE(astria @ Jan 26 2011, 04:13 PM) 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... 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.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... 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. |

QUOTE(Riddhy @ Jan 26 2011, 04:51 PM) @this is a lamp how did you order from lpc digital? 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. i want to get a p170hm with 2720qm+gtx 470m with everything as base unit otherwise 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. QUOTE(astria @ Jan 26 2011, 05:01 PM) well, there are always loopholes to avoid that... Oh...didn't think about that ! declaring as RMA items is one of the most popular way...

QUOTE(LappieToppie16 @ Jan 26 2011, 11:21 PM) Aiyo you think can reach in about a week or so? if not cant i get it from a reseller in Australia? 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. QUOTE(Riddhy @ Jan 27 2011, 02:03 AM) 150 shipping? damn i thought at best a 100 bucks 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.final question is it dhl/fedex/ups are they or are you using? or the cheaper usps? 149 for shipping is too much It's an UPS Express Mail Insured; well that's what it says on the invoice. |

QUOTE(LappieToppie16 @ Jan 28 2011, 12:09 AM) logicalblueone actually has NP8150 for 1900 AUD thats good right? 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. specs are -Processor Intel® Core™ i7-2720Qm 2.2Ghz Quad Core Processor (Sandy Bridge) -RAM 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz System Memory -Hard Drive 500GB 7200RPM, Super Multi 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support -Screen Size 15.6-inch FHD LED BACKLIT (1920x1080) -Graphics Card nVidia Geforce GTX485M 2GB GDDR5 Dedicated Graphics DX11 -Networking 802.11b/g/n WLAN, 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN, Bluetooth |

QUOTE(Eugene91 @ Jan 29 2011, 03:48 PM) Gotta agree based on that i7-2720QM is worth the $$.. you need to pay much more for 2920XM and get just that "little" boost. Based on 3dmarkvantage CPU test. Not only the little boost, 2920XM processors allow overclocking. But then again, most end users do not go that far towards the laptop use.This post has been edited by This is a Lamp: Jan 29 2011, 04:49 PM |
