After sale service is a very big issue here.. Please consider it seriously.. You can't guarantee your laptop won't fail in 1-3 years time right ? not even once..
It's very important especially for your case also.. you don't want to spend 6k+ but in the end can't claim for any warranty or ask for services right ? what for you spend the 6k ?
In my opinion you better review other laptop model first, like Illegear, Aftershock, Alienware or even Razer or Aorus.. Since you can afford a GTX980m laptop those other brand like Razer and Aorus is no problem for you
Illegear has very good service and their laptop is based on clevo model.. Clevo model is quite popular in other country and is well known. Aftershock is also similar with Illegear but with a cheaper price tag.. Not sure about their service though.. These 2 brand laptop mostly will not have any heat issue, you can see their benchmark or ask them to do it for you.. check it up at their office in KL area..
Alienware got good built quality but spec is well-known to be outdated and OP-ed.
Razer and Aorus is slim and well-known to have no heat issue.. but price is also very OP.
Exactly, its after sale service is the only doubts for me.
I have done the review for all these brands before.
I'm personally can't accept the design of Illegear and Aftershock laptop. Since the design is extremely important to me.
For Aorus, I have tried the unit and viewed a lot of the reviews. Because of its SLI, it seems like having a very bad heat issue. It produces the most heat than other.
I'm currently using Alienware M14X. I love it's design and quality. I cant denied what you have said. I'm so disappointed with Alienware Malaysia. They still not able to renew its graphic to GTX900 series while MSI already did that long time ago.
For Razer, I completely have no ideas so i can't make any judgement. It's price tag definitely scare out of the freak of me. I'm actually not sure what will be the after sale service for Razer gaming notebook. Currently, I'm using Razer ouroboros, Razer Electra and Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014. Past a few months, My Razer Ouroboros is malfunction suddenly, I have to send it to Singapore for RMA and it cost me RM70++ for shipping fee. I faint.
Furthermore, there is an issue i found, please review this post from cari:
