i guess u may want to stick to AW (Dell) or Asus when comes to warranty... Dell has on-site service while Asus has 2yrs of int'l warranty by default...
no comments on MSI... dun even know where to find their svc center in the 1st place... |

yeah, and 2 yrs later we re probably looking at DX13 already...
anyway, agree that Sager is one of the best, if not the best, when comes to quality, but Dell will smoke it in terms of warranty service as well... my own choice would be Asus G53Sw... GTX 460M is good enuf for Full HD gaming for the next 1.5yr at least, and it's 15" which makes it smaller, while having 2 HDD bays for u to config... |

QUOTE(LappieToppie16 @ Jan 26 2011, 12:39 AM) omg every brand has their own pros i still cant decide. sigh looks like i just have to make a decision and stick with it. that means u'll need to ship the laptop back...this one looks good.. i dont understand the hard drive spec. one hdd in with an empty space for one more? and im going to australia for 4 years and only will be coming back once a year,what if i want anything replaced? would it be a problem? my friend has a Sager NP8690, 720QM + GTX 285M... similar case as u... bought the laptop in Singapore, and then fly to Aus to study... the finger print reader went hay wire a few mths back, and called Mucro Asia (the importer) wat needs to be done... the reply: get the laptop back to them in Singapore so that they can replace it... he would be laptop-less for 3 weeks if he does that, and he would need to bear the shipping fees... end up he dumped it to his brother when he's back in Singapore and got himself a Asus G73Jh instead... Added on January 26, 2011, 12:54 amanyway, if warranty is wat u re concerned abt, stick to Asus... they ve 2yrs int'l warranty by default, with the option of extending to 3yrs...

QUOTE(LappieToppie16 @ Jan 26 2011, 01:48 PM) so how would i go about getting a sager? i've only got about 14 days left here 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... |

well, there are always loopholes to avoid that...
declaring as RMA items is one of the most popular way...  |
