The actual internet speed depends on your internet line.
wireless n covers wider coverage, but also have to depend which type of wireless router in use.

if want ultra cheap, go for rjtech.com. shipping to malaysia around USD $150.
warranty could be hassle because you need to cover the shipping back to seller. seller only covers shipping back to you.

Actually after USPS banned the delivery of lithium-ion batteries which causes price hike in shipping cost, I've been thinking about the possibility of getting Sager/Clevo laptops from China/Taiwan (since Clevo is originally from Taiwan and Sager is just a re-branded version of Clevo).

Anyway, either route you still need to take care of the warranty issue unless you don't really mind about it.

I went through http://www.illegear.com/sager/18-sager-np9170.html and I got RM6628 for this spec

i don't feel like US price is cheaper than this, do some calculation, shipping is $300 per one way, T/T rate is RM0.05 per dollar plus RM30 from Malaysian banker plus $25 from US banker. Today's rate is 3.15, so RM3.2 in total plus the banker fee. Besides, if something really happens on your laptop, you need to use $300 + $300 to fix it, although you don't care, but something does happen, I guess the $600 can let u purchase a new laptop lol
Anyway, no matter where you buy, welcome to our sager family

same spec as above, i can get RM 6416 + USPS shipping to malaysia
TT transfer through Public Bank = RM 30 (wire charge) + RM 2 (commission). No charges once arrive on seller's bank account.

but it's all depends on person's preferences. My LAN port is now broken because kena lightning strike, but the laptop is in good condition and wireless still works

There are always charges on receiver bank account, like $10 in aus and $25 in US. I think RJtech already absorb the cost in the laptop price.
btw, isn't USPS banned lion battery?

i'm not sure about the banning though.
need to tell the seller directly as I quote the price during checkout.

if you got credit card with 0 international transaction fee then it will be better.

i got one and they dont charge me any international transaction fee which is good for online shopping. not sure if malaysia have similar credit card

credit card is not entitled to 3% cash discount bro

i believe you can ask for discount price especially with xcoticpc?

everytime i purchase something exp i will ask for best price first

okay lo. mine min 45'c and max 80'c in non aircond room (using table fan to cool myself)

FYI, using cooler master u3 cooling pad.



2 fans right under the CPU n GPU air slot, another 1 right under HDD compartment.

how good is their best price?

hey,i just noticed they added the matte screen option to the np9170 because last time i visit the site only glossy is available,if that's the case then i probably wouldn't consider buying from xoticpc anymore

Basically i believe they do have the matte screen, just the site was not fully updated, Xoticpc is sister company of sager, that's why they have the newest option info before they were launched.

PM the reseller is the best way

nvidia driver (304.48 BETA) for the entire 600M series is out.

Downloaded and installed successfully.

Try on Crysis 2, LAG IN HIGH SETTING.

run windows 7 rating assessment. Graphic section FROM 7.3 DROP TO 6.8!!

Full and stable version, come out please =(

you can roll back to previous driver?

anyway, i also heard 7970m having throttle issue as well especially in BF3. high temperature and low FPS

yup, i did. i'm currently running 295R

i was promised that my order will be shipped by today but they only start to build it

guess i wont get it until next week
