year end i guess, i will wait for sandy bridge + quad channel ram before i sell off my old model xD

Our company price is RM6014 including shipping, with the configurations same as yours.

@prince j
Not much diff heh,will deal with you bro when NP 7282 is come with sandy bridge as I prefer cod more than postage don't mind paying extra a bit for piece of mind

If I know this earlier, I will definitely deal with u!

Welcome.

We also prefer to COD instead of using courier services, although we have to travel from Johor to KL. Every time we walk in to Pos Laju for sending parcel, the officer attitude is like the parcel will definitely missing if we don't purchase their insurance.

Thanks! It sure feels like a family here..

Ya, Prince J is one of the reseller that I'm considering. Of course I would prefer a local reseller if the price is acceptable.

Did your NP8150-S1 come with basic spec, without any customization? The price RM5,930.71 is inclusive of 1 year carry-in warranty by Mucro and the initial shipment to Malaysia, right?

I just bank in full amount to Mucro. Normally how long they react?

1 to 2 days.

Yea, if they are taking too long, just on your rage mode like what kahjye did.

I'm still in a dilemma as of which reseller to choose.

I've done the calculation, with the customization I add on to the NP8150-S1, the final price after factoring in the discount, shipping, payment charges, 2 years of warranty, is as per below:

Lpc-digital : RM6102.4
Mucro : RM6610.5
Illegear : RM7180.9

Illegear offers total peace of mind, with the premium of RM1.1k.
Lpc-digital offers the best price, but if worst come to worst, a RMA, even with the cheapest service available (Poslaju + USPS), is estimated to cost around RM800.
Buying from Mucro, you get something in between..

How would you choose??

if you worry much about warranty, go for illegear. if you pro on repairing/maintaining/doesn't care about warranty, go other resellers that offers cheap shipping charges

Why RM6610.50 for Mucro? what else did u add other than the 2 years warranty?

As for LPC-Digital, whats the shipping price u get?

IMHO, as long as it's not the LCD or mobo goes haywire, the rest of the parts can be sent for RMA easily as you just need to send the defective part. If hard disk spoiled, buy a new one, these days HDD's are cheap, don't end up like Edison Chen.

LOL

Added on June 17, 2011, 12:48 pmI think you have included our carry-in warranty price into the quotation. And you didn't account for after sales service of LPC-digital company, end up with premium of 1.1k

Yes I admit that our company carry-in warranty price is not so competitive. However, you should consider the service we provide as well. We have to travel to KL for COD with customers all the time (purchase machine, warranty claiming etc). If customers are unable to do COD, we also provide UPS courier services for them, all the parts and machines are well handled together with 100% insurance (damages and missing).

I am not trying to pull customers and sales, just trying to explain what is inside the premium.

Anyway, good luck in your purchase

Wow~ Thanks so much for all your input!


@soundsyst64

I think I'm ok with minor issues, anything except the problem with mobo, GPU, LCD. So should I go with the middle path?



@Amal

This is what I've customized, with Mucro's pricing attached:

NP8150-S1 (RM5770.8)
FHD 95% NTSC Color Gamut in Matte Finished (+RM289.94)
No OS (-RM252.2) <- Mucro being the only one offerring this
500GB 7200rpm SATA with 4GB SSD (+RM225.27)
2 years Carry In by Mucro (+RM114.3)
2 years warranty by Sager (+RM235.34)
DHL Express to W.Malaysia (+RM227)

Lpc-digital is offerring me US$149 for USPS Express Mail® International Large Package Insured.



@jimmykvt

Ya, problems with LCD & mobo that requires whole laptop to be sent for RMA are the ones I most worried about. Even to sent a small part (<500g) to USA for RMA, based on Poslaju international parcel rate, it would cost RM125 (uninsurred) for one way.. Not sure about the returning part from US.. Both way can easily summed up to RM300.

It depends a lot on luck though, it is not easy to justify how much warranty you need and how much you pay for it. I've got lucky with my current laptop which was bought in 2003.. It's also an ODM product from another taiwanese manufacturer known as Compal. It has been running well even years after the reseller which sold me the laptop has gone out of business.

Regarding the Edison thing, it shouldn't be of much impact on me though, I doubt anyone would be interested in it if the main character is me..



@Prince J

I fully understand that the premium would be paid for an excellent service, as what I've stated there "total peace of mind". An I can understand that a reasonable revenue is needed to run a business, as I've also involved in sales before.

But now being a consumer myself.. and not a too wealthy one.. though I would really like to get the laptop from a local reseller, the hefty premium is putting me on a second thought.. hope you understand..

Anyway, wish you the very best for your sales too

@k-nen
No OS included option is available to all the resellers, not only limited to Mucro. No OS included option is a beauty of Sager.

@jimmykvt
Not to forget, can exclude stock ram and hard drive to make the unit cheaper.

What I mean is Mucro actually deducts off RM252.2 from the total price when you opt for No OS, while other resellers do not.

For the other resellers, their total price is exclusive of OS option, so you don't really see it :]
