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) shakehead.gif

thank you in advanceĀ  smile.gif

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).

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 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.

So the KB build on NP8170 is not good? hmm.gif

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

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

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.

Thanks, hope they have it in Penang branch as well...


Added on October 23, 2011, 1:46 pmJust called the Penang branch and they quoted RM2699. RM2599 is without any free gifts. I heard pendrive and some other stuff...
*
You don't need free gift, do you?

I bought extended warranty + Office 2010 for Home & Business.
I negotiated with Thundermatch, they gave me free wireless optical Sensonic mouse + premium quality mouse pad.

Of course no. It doesn't come with headphones.
But it is claimed to have beats audio speakers.

How much is MSI GE620DX with FHD?

rm3299. the differences is msi using gt555 and hp dv6 using amd hd6670. and also msi got better screen resolution. im just still in dilemma to choose between gt555 or hd 6670.  u know which one is better?
*
I was told the GT555 on MSI is a crippled version.
You need to verify this at the MSI thread.
If so, HP DV6 is better in terms of performance.
