just some FYI :

wonder why some resellers are afraid of using USPS?

Consider that USPS is practically the same like PosMalaysia. Because they are the same, the only difference is one is Malaysia, the other is US. So people would generally go towards private courier service instead (like DHL, FedEx, GDex and etc)

If you're urging the reseller to use USPS (like for instance over here would be malibal) make sure you confirm with them to use USPS Express Mail International, so that you can us the Track & Confirm link :

I think what is needed is to also update the EC firmware together.

There's a hard way to do that, in which you need to specifically find the BIOS chip, desolder it and use external programmer to do it.

Anyway, something to ponder on : http://antitheft.intel.com/get-service.aspx . Our laptop should have this support (since we're using Mobile Intel HM65 Express chipset which has the Intel Anti-Theft Technology)

Depends on order. For LPC-Digital, there's no bag unless you opt for Targus 69.99USD Bag. This is for NP8130 case though, not sure about other Sager notebooks.

Yeah. You can only track it when the item is being shipped from them in Singapore.

Actually for US resellers, it is the same process. Larry from LPC-Digital just told me about the shipping when it was being shipped from factory to their office, but when the item is shipped from their office to me, he gave me the Tracking No.

Deuter Giga Office Pro



With big laptop, comes big responsibility

RM305. (RM290 + RM15 for shipping). a friend of mine knew a dealer, so got quite a cheap price la~

8 GB should be enough, since games use around 500MB-1GB (some might go beyond that, but >4GB system was usually meant for system running video editing which requires more than 4GB system). but I would say getting a 8GB might even be better than 12GB. My assumption is that our laptop has dual-channel capability but not triple channel, so best optimization if you got 2x 6GB (if there's a 6GB RAM la), having a 3x 4GB vs 2x 4GB, difference won't be much I think.

dude, waiting for a few more weeks is still ok. imho, best games are to be released starting May I guess (except Portal 2 la)

yeah i know you might regret since it's not the 2nd gen Intel Core i7. but at the same time you've already got a multi-GPU card solution. why regret? once you hit the i7 limit, the next big thing you need to worry is just your GPU. All i7 should be 8 threads (4 physical cores but with HyperThreading enabled) thus the performance difference in term of speed might not matter much compared to GPU vs GPU. Yours could even probably survive for 4-5 years

wow. them emblem, Crysis 2. Special edition bag oh?

err your siggy says 120GB Intel 510 SSD. How much is it?

You are so dead wrong in number 1. Well, ok la not so dead yet haha.

People are actually beginning to download games instead of buying the hardware. I'm not talking about the illegal ones, but look at Steam and EA Store. With the internet speed we have right now, and global internet penetration increasing by day, it is no more of a hassle to download them instead of buying. Look at Ubuntu for example, even they stopped their free CD distributions already by saying that great internet accessibility throughout the globe being their reason to stop free CD distributions (although, some might argue and create some conspiracy theories )

The blue ray will be most probably used for videos, going more and more into HD. Even on video side,

Buying OS with any manufacturer should be cheaper than buying the retail version, unless you get like a discount on the retail version, or through some other methods. Well if you're wondering they're good or not, maybe can try googling some website like tomshardware or anandtech and see the performance difference for yourself

(Well if you buy it, show us the Primary Hard Disk Windows Experience Index, eh )

hoh. Same like stock SATA HDD . Hmm, well that might be true, since WEI seems to be checking on data rate transfer. So it is still 7200 rpm. So the controller learns which file is always being used, and then swap them between the SSD DRAM and normal platter disc. Interesting.

haha. customer should be always right, but having a customer who keeps pestering you, i don't think anyone would like that. imagine you are like the cashier at MekDi, then suddenly someone ordered a Dabel Spicy MekCiken Delaks Value Meal, then suddenly you realized that the pepel behind still haven't got fries redi yet. So you told your customer "5 minit can aa?". And the customer keep on asking you every second "Oi, siap already or not my fries?". For sure you'll get angry as well right. Haha

Imagine yourself filling in their shoes.

i'm getting this one maybe somewhere in next month haha:



price is $119 (USD not RM~)

yes. but i have a couple of laptops right now, so for now I've been swapping my Sager and office laptop using the Deuter. That's why I'm getting a new bag, see which one will feel better with the Sager

wouldn't it be damn heavy? when i put my two laptops (one 15.4" and another one was the Sager) into my targus and angkat all the way walking from old KTM station to KL Sentral, deym berat woh.

no prob wor. laptop has been on since last week, playing crysis 2 and DA2 back to back, and sometimes change to sims medieval

kantoi your other login acc de haha.

didn't we told you earlier, call them rather than emailing. typical asian companies, email support is there "just for fun".

You're buying from Mucro right? I would expect Mucro to only give the tracking num when item is being shipped from them to you, not from Sager to them. My experience with LPC digital la. Larry just said that the item was coming in his store from factory, only when he was shipping the item to me that he gave the tracking no.

I think they will ship from Sager to their office first. Only from there would they then use either DHL or PosMalaysia, depending on which option you took la.
