how long it takes to arrive malaysia? estimate?

quite cheap compare to malaysia market.. am i right?

How are they cheap compared to malaysian market? The default price is already rm4.5k for a G55. Take away the 12gb RAM they provide. They still cost more than the G55 selling here. That's not including other upgrades and shipment cost yet.

I remember there were a few G53sx who bought from Gentechpc before. Maybe you can try ask them out. Don't think they still post here though.

So the 4th week of wait has finally taken a toll on me.. I am now considering of getting a Sager NP9150 tongue.gif

might consider changing to Y580 if the graphic card is gtx660 (rumored).
maybe can slide to the first one who preorder. haha well, still could be coming back to this scene again.
*
Initially I thought the Y580 will come with a gtx660m too. But check out the y480 which was rumored to come with a gt 650m. It comes with a gt640le instead. So the GT 650m is most probably gonna come with the Y580.

what..how dare you talk about the sager np9150 in a g series notebook thread? tongue.gif where is sager service center? the np9150 is powerful,very powerful and with the gtx675m...wow.

two bad things about the sager is that the price is rm5199..and the looks  cry.gif very disappointing..looks like a business  ibm laptop and doesn't resemblance a gaming laptop like the g55 does..looks is very bad smile.gif and if im not mistaken, you once posted here that you r not a fan of ibm-looked laptop....what happen to you? smile.gif

edit: sorry..np9150 contains gtx670m, NOT GTX 675M
*
Haha yeah, Sager are called Clevo as well. Looks wise, they are indeed disappointing. But hey, if i can stand MSI medieval looks I'm sure I can stand Sager too tongue.gif tongue.gif good thing about sager is, they can be customize easily.

QUOTE(cravingstar @ May 30 2012, 03:15 PM)
yeah g55 looks sleek for a gaming laptop, however i think most of the time you will be opening the laptop instead of admiring it. to me performance is most important and 2ndly the heat issue which i cant stand. Imagine if i have the money, AMD 7970 brows.gif

no cukai on electronics? u crazy? there is tax for any import materials no matter what the stuff. shipping fee is included as well, i think the reason it is cheaper because Asus or any brand taiwan brand(msi, lenovo, sager, acer just to name a few) owned by Taiwan companies which is much nearer to malaysia compare to us, and their manufacturer plants are usually located in china which is even nearer if it's located at south (near hongkong). just my 2 cent smile.gif
@girugara86 since already delay so long might as well wait for other laptop? maybe wait for lenovo y580 review? from youtube it has very good review. the graphic is excellent lol.
*
Actually laptops are generally cheaper here in Malaysia. If i'm not mistaken, malaysia really don't charge tax on laptops. Someone pointed that out here before, i don't really remember. But having a nearer manufacturers could also be the reason though. I can't be sure biggrin.gif

and any laptop that has similar or better performance than the G55 will do tongue.gif but are you sure there's a video review about the lenovo Y580 already? Any links? i couldn't find it.

One of the reviews mentioned that the Lenovo Y580 would be available in June. That would be about the same time as the 2nd batch of the Asus G55VW.
I just talked to Gadgetzone Andrew & he too doesn't know when the 2nd batch will be in but will email me as soon as they are. I'll update here as soon as he confirms the date.

Please share the information with us once you get it! notworthy.gif

I got a reply on a similar question I asked Asus regarding their specs.

My questions was
"
Hi,
I am planning to purchase a G55VW-S1095V laptop & would like some additional
information.
1. On your website, the RAM is described as 1600MHz type. However some of the
shops here in Penang say that this is 1333MHz. Are these shops replacing your pre
installed RAM?
2. I believe that this Laptop comes with a free laptop bag. Could you send me a photo
of the bag. Does this bag have some sort of padding to keep the laptop safe?
3. What is the speed of the Hard disk provided for the G55VW-S1095V? 5400rpm?
"

Asus Reply
"
Dear valued customer,

Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.

Sorry for the delay.

Please enter the system, press start button, type "cmd" in search line, press ctrl+shift+enter load the tool as administator, type "wmic bios get serialnumber" press enter then you will see the SN of your notebook.

Please send the SN to me so that I can check further for you. Thank you for understanding!
If you have another problem, please get contact with us ASAP.
"

I don't think I need to let them know the serial number for my current HP laptop. lol.

Hahahaha, I kinda give up asking Asus about stuff. I remember when i was worried whether the Alienware that i'm gonna purchase (this is before i ordered my G55) was refurbished or not, i actually called Dell to ask to check for my service tag. Man, the way Dell handle my questions are just superb la. I ended up asking from "service tag" to incoming Alienware models and what kinda service upgrade that they provide. Such a big gap in terms of quality service by Dell and Asus seriously.

Or maybe that guy just happened to be a Alienware fanboy.. hmm.gif

Everytime I give Asus a call. They don't sound like they know a lot about their own product. It feels like I'm on a phone with a trainee who just graduated from SPM and currently working at Asus hotline for part time.

But jokes aside, that Dell guy I mentioned was seriously seriously passionate about Alienware.

Ya, true story, Asus got bad technical support, last time i called to asked about the blocked vent on G55, the guy keep repeating same sentence 'Actually it is hard for me to imagine how the G55's vents looks like because we got no G55 with us to check' . :/

next time, you paused for a MINUTE. Then you whisper "girugaga girugaga.." about 5-6 times. Each time your chant gets louder and louder. Then you hung up.

I just checked the US version, it would be better if somehow can confirm for me cause i'm not very familiar with US G55. Anyway, the current US version is known as Asus G55VW-DS71. There is another one, ETA mid June, which is the G55-RS71. But i see no difference in specs... hmm.gif

edit: or i could be wrong tongue.gif itking, really cannot tell us what's new inside the coming G55 ka? brows.gif is it good changes or bad changes?

there are a few owners of G53sx who ship from xoticpc before. Maybe you can check back the owner list for G53 in the first page of the thread and pm them to ask. I don't think they post here anymore smile.gif

edit: also, there's a short guide to purchase from US in the first page already smile.gif
