1. Preferred Brand
None

2. Budget

6k

3. Usage
Gaming and designing

4. Preferred laptop/screen size

17"

I've been looking around and some caught my attention (overall of spec+design+price): ASUS G74SX and MSI GT70/GT60 (is the extra 2" worth the price?). Alienware has cool design+build, but spec+price point is not competitive.

I've also heard about Sager and its customizability + bang-for-buck value. Thoughts?

Not sure the market price for this in Malaysia. But it fits your requirements.

Thanks. Will look into it, but the comments on that page seem to point towards an inferior product. Needs more digging.

If you're looking for the best bang for buck, then go for Sager nod.gif Last I've checked there are no 17" models with IB yet, but do check out illegear again, maybe its updated already nod.gif

As you've mentioned, the new MSI desktop replacements are quite good as well:
GE70, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M (2GB) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4599, 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, free SteelSeries QCK Mass Mousepad
GT70, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX670M (3GB) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM6399[Dyaudio], 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, free SteelSeries Siberia V2 Headset; backlit keyboard
If the GT70 can be fitted with the 7970, then I'm probably gonna go for it. I saw it in person and fell in love with the overall aesthetics (sucka for beauty).

The more I read, the more I'm leaning towards Sager. Still waiting for the update at illegear. Any comments on the support/service?
