QUOTE(carbonytte @ Apr 7 2011, 03:46 PM) wow. cheaper transportation cost from RJTECH. Well, not sure but could be that for my case, LPC-Digital was sending from Nevada. Maybe that's why mahal a bit (although the shipping cost was less than $100, but wat to do, reseller oso want to carik makan~) or i assume that rjtech use some of the shipping fund to cover the bank charges on their side.

Ouch..., 200 Euro for the tax, that's really a lot! Actually, I'm a Malaysian working in Singapore. I had done research on various models of laptops as well as the tax thinggy. Importing laptop to Singapore will charge me 7% Goods & Service Tax, so might as well send it back to Malaysia and I can save that 7% for my return air ticket to Malaysia lol.
I am a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop user for 3 and a half years. My 3-year laptop warranty had already expired. It was my first laptop. As I wasn't familiar with laptop and didn't dare to disassemble the whole thing, who knows I might crack the whole thing, or lost one or two of the many screws in it or forgot to connect some of the cables back. Because of that, my laptop went busted for twice due to overheating and Dell sent technician twice to fix my laptop. Apparently, I could see the thick dust accumulated at the air vent. After my laptop warranty period was over, I looked into youtube for example to disassemble my 1420 and managed to even clean the fan in it and preserve my laptop in a fine state till today. One thing I don't like 1420 is the fan is not easily accessible, I need to disassemble the whole thing to get to the fan. Somemore, the graphics card and the processor are sharing the same fan, so not really recommended for games which require high graphics settings. Similar to those Dell XPS models which I had seen the inner part of it, there is only 1 fan in it for those models I came across, not sure whether there are XPS laptops that come with 2 fans.
Recently thought of buying a new laptop. Similar to Keenxlimit's case, leaping from 1420 to something close to high end. I initially looked into Dell Alienware, but it's too expensive for me. Surely the outlook looks appealing with flashy LED's but not too sure if those LED's are gonna drain more power/generate more heat. I always believe that more kinetic energy and less heat energy is effective because heat is always seen as a waste in any electrical products. Of course dealing with heat, alienware m15x has 2 fans which can be easily accessible by taking off the bottom panels. m17x has 3 fans which only the middle fan is easily accessible, the other 2 fans can only be accessible by disassembling the whole thing. Main constraint of getting an alienware is the cost although Dell offers one of best warranty packages and services, However, with the money I spent on alienware, I can use the same or lesser amount of money to get a laptop with better specs than what alienware offers except the dual SLI thinggie that alienware has.
Then I went on looking into Asus G53 and G73 series. Yea, can get very good specs with cheaper price. But, I watched some videos and noticed that it is not easy to access the fans in it in order to clean them. I went on looking into Sager, a brand which I had never heard of in the past. Surprisingly, Asus G series only has one USB-3.0 port and no eSATA port while Sager NP8130, 8150 and 8170 has 2 USB-3.0 port and 1 eSATA port. Somemore, Sager laptops can be easily maintained, the fans and other hardwares are accessible by removing the bottom panel only, same as the alienware m15x. And the price of Sager is more or less the same as Asus or maybe cheaper. Good thing about Asus is that it has 2 years global warranty while Sager......hahaha, you guys know better than me.
However, since I am not a rookie like how I was 3 years ago, I believe I can take good care of my laptop given that it is easy to access all the parts especially the fans from the bottom in Sager's laptop. Despite of the dull outlook, but I am impressed with the parts in it. So, I am looking forward in getting a Sager laptop :]

Won't regret as long as the thing arrives in good condition and no problem of using it for years under proper care :]
Well said carbonytte, the following are the reasons why I choose Sager: 1) Good price, looks dull but can perform close to or as good as the other affordable high-end laptops out there. 2) Easy to access to the parts from the bottom especially the fans for cleaning and maintenance. 3) Customizable laptop parts
