Guys, wanna ask something:

1. Screen update to those with ultra bright and gamut thingsies, are they worth the price?

2. Are the external DVDRW reliable, cheap?

3. The option to remove DVD and install caddy goes for $15 in one option, $45 in another. Any difference between these 2 options (Xoticpc)

4. Warranty extension, yay or nay?

5. Best place to buy Sager laptops?

6. Are there any limitations in places they do postage to?

7. Are laptops tax imposable?

8. How much extra charge usually aside the laptop's price itself?

thanks!

1. It's all depends on the user's preferences and field of work. The designers choose better screen to produce better color output for the design.
2. You can buy External DVDRW locally. smile.gif
3. If you choose to install 2nd hard disk on optical drive, you won't get internal DVDRW.
4. It depends on you. I choose standard 1 year warranty and my laptop still going strong.
5. Again, your preferences. If you worry about warranty, can go to illegear.com (Prince J @ lowyat.net)
6. Depends on the seller, but the buyer have to take care on the shipping rate and any taxes involved.
7. No tax for fully-assembled laptops/computers
8. There's an option offered by the seller such as Rush Order, monitor color calibration, decals/stickers, overclocking, thermal paste, etc.

no no, you got me wrong on several things

1. I mean is the quality difference huge? as in IPS is to TN panels or does the screen upgrade quality a marginal increase? np9150 to matte is already rm100, to 72% gamut is rm300, that's quite a sum. I was afraid i'd regret it.
2. Yes i know, but the ones xoticpc is selling is $19=60-70 whereas the price here is 100+. Plus DIY isnt really my strong suit.
5. I mean if I import. Illegear is too expensive IMO.
8. I was referring to shipment cost, and other cost associated with the purchase regardless on the laptop price.

I was thinking something like this, np9150 with the max matte upgrade, + 500gb hdd and 120gb ssd + the cheapest external dvd. will it be cheaper and than if i buy 500gb+caddy case($15) + ssd and external dvd here in malaysia?

anyone got a full bench on np9150 + 7970m?

what's the best place to get sager laptops? Illegear charges quite a lot.

was thinking basic spec of n9150+full screen upgrade+7970m. If I could remove HDD and just put a caddy would be great. how much is the shipping cost anyway?

yeah but that kinda beats the purpose for a sager. m17x customized with 7970m is only a bit out of reach compared to the spec I configured on np9150, might as well get that.


btw I checked rjtech, they charge quite a lot on components. similarly configured, xoticpc is around 90usd less.

soundstys what do you use to convert currency? XE?

I don't think there is big difference between our price and US reseller now, have you taken into account the cost you need to incur to have the laptop shipped to malaysia?

And the future contingent warranty cost needs to be incurred if your laptop fails you?

Considered LI-ON battery has been banned by USPS, the shipping cost is $300+ per way.

no offense bro, it's just a statement of your pricing and my available money.


what i'm trying to say is other laptop brands have comparable price conversion in comparison to sager. I am tempted to get one but the configuration for it to be worth on illegear it is beyond what I could pay.
