hey guys..
I found a Sager laptop from this website http://www.illegear.com/sager/13-sager-np5165.html NP5165.. it features same GPU and CPU like Asus N55SF.. but this Sager has a FHD screen and can customize the thermal compound and it's price is around RM3200, which is 400 more expensive than Asus.. I just want to know between these two models, which is better in term of quality? the warranty.. the heat management..

I don't really mind about the screen, I just want to know about the quality.. any idea? I'm thinking to get a new laptop soon but I'm afraid about the quality especially heat management since I've experienced dead mobo and gpu many times (with dell xps1530)

thank you in advance

HP DV6-1006TX with i7-2630QM & Radeon 6770 @ MYR2599 for the win.
Irresistible price and specs. I just bought one 2 days ago.

P/S It comes with Beats Audio. Sounds better than normal notebook. Certainly sounds better than my Sager 8170.
And personally i felt it has better keyboard than my Sager 8170. The keyboard of my Sager 8170 looks like a cheapo plasticky china-made KB.

P/S Add MYR99 for 3 years warranty.

P/S If you have MYR3K of budget, spend few hundreds on SSD and you're good to go.
The 5.4K HDD in HP DV6-1006TX runs like "4200 rpm HDD". I formatted the HDD and fresh install the plain clean Win7 SP1, it still runs slower than normal 5.4k rpm HDD (and I don't know why). It is kinda jerky.

P/S The other downside could be the Radeon GPU.
The driver is not as solid as nVidia's. It still has flickering issue.
And I personally find the switchable of ATI is not as "smart" as nVidia's Optimus.
But with that price, you have got nothing to complain (unless you can get a non-crippled GT555 at MYR2599).

generally.. sagar laptops are well built and manage heat well.. at least, that seems to be the general consensus over at NBR.com.. maybe u can head over there to the np5165 tered an check it out..

the ases has 2 year international warranty, can claim from anywhere in the world LOL.. the n55 is a very popular model here.. and so far i havent heard of anything particularly bad abt the n55

therefore, i think u shud be good to go wif either one of those.. personally, i wud go wif the ases n55 becuz i think it looks better.. the sagar, well, looks abit too unker for me LOL ... to each his own

wow thanks for the reply.. about the hp dv6 i couldnt find it at the website with same spec.. the price show 2899 with lower graphic card.. where did you buy your dv6?

I vote on the N55 as well. Good laptop overall.

I bought it from Thundermatch.
It is a new price, i7 with Radeon 6770 @ MYR2599.

P/S Sorry, the model should be HP Pavilion DV6-6001TX.

^ 1006TX or 6001TX bro?

You're right. I got mixed up.

So the KB build on NP8170 is not good?

The HP Pavilion DV6-6001TX price is tempting, but I prefer the chiclet keyboard on Sager

Both are using chiclet.

KB button on Sager 8170 is hard and very plasticky.
The ones on Asus and HP/Compaq are more rubber-feel.

NP8170 keyboard is nice. However, the space bar is a little harder to be pressed.

I think it could be personal preference.

The KB button on my Sager 8170 is just too plastic too me. I feel like pressing China-made calculator with plastic button.

Current chiclet on HP, Compaq, HP and Acer have more rubber feel. I feel like pressing Japanese-made calculator with "rubberish" button.

same here

hei are u sure dv6001tx @ rm2599?
with ati 6770 1gddr5?
if yes i would grab it now

Yes, I bought one.
I bought it from Thundermatch. I was told it's a new price.
Extend to 3-year warranty for additional MYR99.

hm...last time i bought hp g4 extend to 3 years y kena charge RM199 de
is it new price for warranty or i got conned

If I'm not mistaken, the price of extended warranty is determined by the notebook price.
Higher the price, you need to pay higher insurance premium.

The DV6-6001TX is now at MYR2599 (as compared to MYR3299) and hence cheaper extended warranty.

Which Thundermatch branch did U buy it from Aleune?

It's HP Pavilion DV6-6001TX.

i suppose he mean where u buy the dv6 @ which thundermatch shop
