I thought you just ordered Alienware M14X from Dell recently lol.

I would personally go for LPC-Digital or Powernotebooks as I found out that XoticPC is offering higher shipping cost.
If you are staying in KL, then I suggest you to deal with mucro since they have a service partner in KL.

Take note that mucro/cubehub singapore doesn't offer taking out the ram to make the unit cheaper since it's fixed policy.

If you worry about warranty and less knowledge in maintaining the laptop hardwares, go for mucro/cubehub.

@tjinn
On the hardware side, if you are going to get a AMD HD6970M GPU, then Sager NP8150-S1 is your best bet. If you are going to stick with Nvidia Geforce GTX 460M, then Sager NP8130 is good enough.

I would say try to get a few quotations on shipping cost before making payments. For example, you can go to xoticpc, LPC-digital, Powernotebooks and customize your laptop according to your likes, then checkout the order and wait for them to quote you the shipping cost and total amount that you need pay. Then you will have a few to compare with before making your decision.

If you want to install your own harddisk and RAM, you can order from RJTech as they allow complete customization, you can choose which part to include in your laptop purchase.

For shipping case, USPS Express Mail International is the cheapest option, UPS is kinda expensive. Most of us ordered from U.S. chose USPS Express Mail International, tracking number will be provided by the reseller once your laptop has been shipped.

But, one thing for sure you need to be awared of is the warranty terms and conditions which most of the time if anything happens to your laptop within the warranty period, you need to send the laptop back to the reseller for RMA and you bear the shipping cost. If the fault is due to something small like harddisk, RAM or whatsoever is small, then you only need to ship the faulty part back to them which cut down your shipping cost a lot. Of course for the first time if you receive the laptop in a faulty condition, I'm sure they will cover the shipping cost and replace a new one for you.

@petpet007
You ordered from LPC-Digital too?

@tjinn
Haha, I know LPC-Digital's shipping cost is lower than XoticPC a lot (by RM), that's why I recommend either RJTech or LPC-Digital. For laptop excluding harddisk and RAM, go for RJTech. For whole laptop, go for LPC-Digital. I'm not sure about Powernotebooks, never dealt with them before but they have a variety of laptop backpack to choose from.

I guess you ordered Sager NP8150-S1 that comes with AMD HD6970M. Quite decent, around RM6k.

Great. Hahaha, for such a decent specs for a decent price, I'm sure you can't get it from Alienware and Asus.
The only thing you need to worry about now is the glossy gamut screen, hope they have enough stock :>

no budget, SSD too expensive for me, might as well spend on new gc if got money for SSD

i need moar space, i keep a lot of movies

Actually what amduser is right; better spend the money on something that's harder to obtain (the GPU) rather than an SSD.

Although I strongly suggest a SSD as well but laptop specific upgrades are the top of the list I think.

after my customisation at RJ Tech,Mucro SG,Power notebook and xotic pc all cost me 14 k  ,what do yuou think i should  change is it worth to upgrade for gtx 485m SLI from a 6970M crosfire?and any diff between normal wifi and bigfoot wirelles?

thx for your suggestion,and with my budget i can also get an AW M18X ,now dont know which to choose,btw i am at Malaysia,but my parents are Malaysian tha  live at US ,maybe can ask them to import for me AW M18X

of coz la there is someone will be interested with matte screen
anyway who in here like glare screen until u can see ur face on that screen 

how much it cost u??

Yeh!!!!

my notebook is on its way ...
