you can get the np8170 with the gtx485m.

try to customize it in mucro.asia.

If you have really deep pockets and have unlimited budget, can go for NP7280 with SLi GTX485

Even the X7200. Very stupid business practice haha.

Yeah I read the whole thread during my spare time haha, it was pretty bad. NBR users don't think highly of Eurocom.

There are two 17" laptops offered by Sager/Clevo. Both of them mentioned above; the Clevo X7200 and the Sager NP8170.

The NP8170 does not have SLI (dual GPU), but currently it is faster than the M17x R3 because the M17x does not have 485M as a config (correct me if I'm wrong here) and the NP8170 can have the 6970m and the GTX 470/485M. However, the M17x has dual GPU solutions.

The X7200 however destroys the M17x R3. Why? It is the only 17" laptop that has desktop processors built in AND dual GPU solution, while running cool. But it is quite heavy...

it seems cubehub/mucro/rjtech also follow suit selling hd6970m

i wonder how much will the hd6970m cost like...almost like gtx485m?

They are selling it alright, but as preorders if I'm right. I do not think they will send out incomplete GPUs (engineering samples) out to customers like Eurocom because that is downright stupid.

Reportedly it's lower, by a few hundred dollars maybe? The performance is almost on par with the 485m.

Now only Mucro.Asia Selling Sager ?

I saw the post wrote that I able to install another HDD or SSD in the Laptop ? Actually I not using it for gaming , I just want a more faster Laptop . How is the speaker and the sound card on the laptop compare with Alienware M17X R3 ?

How long the battery on the Sager laptop can last if I not gaming and just doing assignment ?

U have Alienware Laptop before and what happens to it ?
Where can I find Clevo X7200 dealer ?

Cubehub SG and other usa/europe/aus reseller also sell it. You can get Clevo x7200 (a.k.a NP7280) in any reseller. (refer to product catalogue at 1st post)

based on review, the battery can last more than 2 hours. The speaker config is 2.1 (except NP7280 which have 5.1), THX certified.

NP5160/NP5170/8130/NP8150/NP8170 can add extra hard drive in optical drive slot.
NP7280 have two hard drive slot and can add extra in optical slot.

envy man , mind to post up some pictars too? XD

fesick submitted the order around 10th of march and UPS have sent it to him yesterday
just COD-ed with him
i think picture wise noneed la same as lamp's unit also
somemore my phone 2 MP only better dont embarass myself

Does they offer any discount like student discount ?

not sure about student discount, but cubehub offers discount if pay by cash/cheque/bank draft
better e-mail them. You may get accurate answers.

If buy from xoticpc then how to claim the Warranty if any problem and how about the customs tax ?

no customs tax for laptop, that's for sure. Bought mine from LPC, heck they even sent it to me at nighttime

Warranty should be regional, cubehub might offer you free delivery from Spore to US if you need to send your unit back to Sager's factory. For xoticpc, you'll need to bear the shipping cost from Msia to US (I believe so)

wah...so fast 1..around 2 weeks only wor bro..so nice
