Hello again guys! It's been a long time I'm stalking this thread. Haha.

Made my order today through XoticPC and still waiting their email.

Anyways, anyone knows wether HSBC/Standard Chartered offers Wire Transfer or not? Usually, how long does it take for the Wire Transfer process to complete?

I ordered Sager NP8170 with:

- Stock screen
- i7 2720qm
- AMD HD6970m
- 8GB Ram
- 120GB Intel 510 SSD (Primary)
- 500GB HDD (Secondary)
- Intel Advanced-N 6230

Also in the order, I'm getting MSI GT780R too

Naah, not rich, just saving some money and finally made up my mind to get it. Hehe. If I'm rich, for sure I'm getting the NP7282 with GTX 485m SLi. Haha.

Damn, that means I have to go to Miri to do Wire Transfer through Maybank then. Maybank offers Wire Transfer right? Brunei's process is kinda slow in everything. And I think HSBC/Standard Chartered in Brunei doesn't offer Wire Transfer too.

@sweeann

Wow that's a good sign then through Maybank. Haha. How much do they charge for Wire Transfer? and how long do you wait for XoticPC to reply your order?

Alright, thanks for the info. Appreciate it!

I've cancelled my order with XoticPC cause their shipping is wayyy overcharged. Furthermore there's no GT780R in XoticPC's stock. I was charged USD520 for each laptop. So that costs around USD1k+ for both laptops. But I've made my order with GentechPC already and made the transfer just now. So I'm waiting for them to receive the funds now, should be early next week.

Still, I ordered the same specs for my Sager NP8170

So, the waiting game starts now

What delivery cost do you mean? Hehe.

I'm using USPS Express Mail as offered by GentechPC. USD$169 for each laptop. The one that XoticPC charged me is by using UPS, but still, that's way overcharged since it should be combined shipping.

Hehe I don't plan on waiting anymore. Not gonna regret since the 6970m will do very good for me. Furthermore I'm not the type of person who NEEDS to run games in highest setting, so not a problem But, thanks for the heads up though. We can't keep up with technology. Once the new GPU is out, then there'll be new GPU again. Lol.

I'm from Brunei actually so I think it's just the same. Furthermore if it's from the US, it's more cheaper.

To anyone who ordered from US reseller and used Wire Transfer,

Do you guys were given a call or something by the bank you used after the transaction completed? Or the reseller will update you?

Alright, thanks for the info.

Hopefully my reseller receives my payment tomorrow. Sent it on Friday. When do you guys think my reseller will get it? Hehe. Was told around 3 days by the Maybank staff though.

Yeah thought so. Hopefully there's no problem though. Hehe.

How's everyone's laptop doing up to now? No problem? Was kinda afraid that I'm getting a laptop with faulty condition (motherboard problem). That'll be a pain to send it back to the US.

Thanks for the info guys. Yea, hopefully there won't be any problem! I really can't wait to play Crysis, Crysis 2, Metro 2033 and the upcoming Battlefield 3!

GUYS!

My payment has been received by my reseller! He told me that it will be shipped by this week!

Woohoo! I soo can't wait to get my hands on it!

I ordered Sager NP8170 with these specs:

- 2nd Gen Intel Core i7-2720QM, 2.2-3.3GHz,32nm, 6MB, 45W
- ATI Mobility HD6970 2GB GDDR5 VRAM, DirectX 11
- Primary - 120GB Intel Solid-State Drive 510 Series SATA III 6Gb/s
- Secondary - 500GB 7200rpm 2.5-inch 9.5mm 16MB SATA II 3Gb/s (Standard)
- Intel Advanced-N 6230
- IC Diamond 24 Carat Thermal Compound on both CPU/GPU

The others are stock ones.

& also getting MSI GT780R in my order

Man.. this waiting is unbearable. Haha. Yesterday got the MSI's package already. The Sager is shipped seperately since it's customized unlike the MSI which is stock.

Should be next week. Soo can't wait!

Got my Sager NP8170 already today! Wooohooo!

Soo happy with it. Finished installing windows, drivers, games etc.

I'm so happy with my laptop's performance. No regrets in getting this brand! Can't wait for Battlefield 3
