that's the problem. In this case, need to check on the spot.

sound - don't expect a perfect sound from laptop speaker. I can get a bit bass using stock Nokia headset + THX software enabled, but much better bass using SB X-Fi USB 5.1

Screen - normally, the reseller will configure it for you. I don't know how's the look of 95% NTSC gamut screen compared to stock matte screen (for np8130), so I can't comment about this.

Me order sager np8150 from california, USA. Enter malaysia with ease.

NO import tax imposed on complete build computer

Satisfied, even with GTX460M. I might upgrade GC to latest one, probably HD7 series

1 week processing order, 1 week shipping

Total would be about 2 1/2 weeks

The price is about RM 100 difference since I prefer flexibility on hardwares, especially RAM and hard drive.
I bought from RJTECH.COM. This company sells barebone laptop with no brand badge on the lid.

If connector on adapter similar to desktop, you can buy it at any computer shop.

you mean laptop or skyrim game?
for laptop, you can buy from fellow LYN member, Prince J (illegear.com)

it is legit. Prince J operates that website.

Other alternatives, buy from oversea like Xoticpc.com, lpc-digital.com, malibal.com, mythlogic.com. Mine bought from rjtech.com

dead pixel is very rare to occur. If you are really scared, buy pixel insurance.

most well known seller overseas are xoticpc.com, but the shipping even using USPS definitely kills you since the company located at the center of USA. (Nebraska)

Yes, they sell the same sager model, but they put their own brand and offer their own warranty package.

need to send back to seller once got defects in any parts of the laptop (within warranty period). I haven't experience any breakdown so far since my first purchase in April this year.

I prefer flexible on upgrade the laptop over design.

i'm not sure about other laptops though, but sager can upgrade the hardwares without voiding the standard warranty. (i believe) Just send back to the seller and they'll do upgrade for you.

Alternatively, wait for warranty to end and you can upgrade stuffs inside.

I buy sager np8150 (i've used it) online, direct from USA.

RJTECH sells clevo, which is OEM product for Sager. The product design is pretty same, only sager have emblem on the LCD lid

Sager NP8150 = Clevo P150HM. I bought from rjtech. Here's my review.

Model NP8130 and above can upgrade it's processor and graphics card to higher model

That depends on user's preferences. 15.6' is good enough for me.

i do that long time ago liao.

that depends on your decision.
If want flexible in spec, doesn't care about warranty, go for rjtech
if want better service, go for xoticpc/illegear.

how about buying from tsb.com.my or pbbseller@lowyat?

there's no such things.. You can install and play any games you like. If play in multiplayer mode, that depends on which server that gives you best ping

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout

Amongst personal computer games, regional lockout is more difficult to enforce because both the game application and the operating system can be easily modified. Subscription-based online games often enforce a regional lock by blocking IP addresses (which can often be circumvented through an open proxy) or by requiring the user to enter a national ID number (which may be impossible to verify). A number of other games using regional lockout are rare but do exist. One of the examples of this is the Windows version of The Orange Box, which uses Steam content delivery service to enforce the regional lockout.[6]

Google first, then you can ask reseller for verification. If Regional lock applies on all PC games, Alienware/Dell/toshiba/asus laptop users might complaint about it.

Put carbon sticker on the palm rest. Settled.

I'm no longer worried of the dust sticking on rubberized coating palm rest

ghosting problem, or random flickering?
