I'm thinking of getting a new laptop in the near future and for some reason Sager seems to be a mysterious choice for me.

Can anyone enlighten me on the pros and cons of a sager? thanks!

means cant claim warranty at all? (since its import)...

And when you mean cheap, how cheap?

Last time I saw a link where it listed all the sites for each country to buy sager laptops but I cant remember where... - Its from someone in LYN

Anyone got the link?

thanks!
actually right now im in australia...

Yea, im checking the link... but why does it name the laptops Dreambook?

owh I see... Thanks for noting that out.

Just a general question, when you guys look for a gaming laptop, what comes to mind as of most importance other than its GPU? Is it necessary to have like 8GB ram or 1TB hard disk?

for procs? at least i7-2630QM?
Sorry for asking alot.

haha... any other things I must note?

of course. and also will consult (price and specs) you sifus before buying... its worth pointing out that I do some gaming, but im not a hardcore PC gamer.

Thanks! Anyway, you reckon RM3500 can get a decent gaming lappy?

note: im on the assumption that if a lappy can game, it can do pretty much most demanding things (i could be terribly wrong tho).

cryogenist: thanks!

This is a Lamp: saw ur review... awesome stuff...


Question: When it comes to these kind of lappy - Clevo/Sager/Dreambook, how does their body (exterior) compare to normal laptops (dell, acer, asus and such)?

If you guys were to be on a tight budget - say MAX RM3500... What would the recommended specs be? (ie. what would you compromise on?)

Thanks for all the really informative feedback guys... looks like imma need to save some money... haha...

is the size of the hard disk important? what impact will it have on the speed of things?

true that... i think if i was in malaysia id grab from u dy. but too bad im in Aussie...

but good luck in ur sales... still calculating my budget and see if i can get my own NP8130 since most dont recommend any lower than this.

almost any tech stuff much much cheaper to buy in malaysia....

even u import sager u do it via asian resellers will be cheaper than buying it if ur overseas.
