Hi guys, I think I made my decision to get the np5797, just wanna ask, for harddisk right, is that big differrent btwn 7200rpm and 5400rpm? Coz if I insist 7200rpm then the max capacity i can get is 320GB which is not so sufficient to me... ...
*
performance between the 2 drives will only be slightly noticeable, and only during program startup as well. won't cause your games to lag or anything.

also due to the way harddisks are designed, their I/O speeds are limited by RPM & disk density. ie: a 500GB 5400RPM will be as fast as a 320GB 7200RPM smile.gif

QUOTE(N1-C @ Apr 3 2009, 02:32 PM)
IMO heat plays a role too, my 7200RPM Seagate HDD on my NP8660 peak at 67C one time when I'm backing up my Steam to my external HDD. During gaming season it normally stays around ~60C and idle at ~50C. 5400RPM HDD is cooler by a good ~10C or more.

nVidia 260's are shipping , havent seen anyone with a 280 though

QUOTE(Darkmage12 @ Apr 5 2009, 04:36 PM)
Was is a hassle for you when going through custom and how long did it took for the shipment to arrive?
*
It was straight forward for me. just like ordering from dell, but tracking depends on which shipping method you choose.

There is a difference between 7200rpm and 5400 rpm bcos I experience it myself. Last time my laptop is 5400 rpm and now mine is 7200 rpm (not Sager). You may able to see the loading of games is more faster, copy and paste 10 avi files of 2 GBs each from A to B is shorten by 30% at least, extracting huge files takes shorter period.

My cousin who just bought a Sager with 7200rpm HDD coupled with 4GB of Turbo memory and he place the exe file into the turbo cache. With that, the speed is even more noticeable when loading GTA4.exe, it takes only 8-10 secs. (From double clicking the icon from the desktop to fully payable state in the game) OMG!

GTA4 takes me forever to log in via screamyx sweat.gif

QUOTE(Jr100 @ Apr 9 2009, 04:15 PM)
hello all,

Corad, I'd like to know which shipping method is faster UPS or USPS??
I'm planning to order an NP8662 very soon and i'd like to get my hands on it asap tongue.gif
*
I can't really answer that. Have only used the USD 223 one, which i think is USPS. Either method won't take more than a week to arrive.

but shipping cost is a killer though, I would spend the extra cash on better parts and wait a few days more for the laptop to arrive tongue.gif

there's one person on this thread who got it from sgcubehubs. the rest got it from xoticpc i think.

you'll have to order it online. xoticpc so far gives the cheapest deal.

QUOTE
i heard the shipping charges are like 200+ usd. thats crazy. now im thinking.. isit worth it to get one? paying about rm700 on shipping charges is just crazy?


even with shipping charges, it's cheaper than similar spec-ed laptop in SEA.

but it's still painful i know cry.gif

Hmm, the tracking number on my package still doesn't seem to work. I googled about this and many people said that USPS tracking number is really unreliable. Was anyone here able to track their package through USPS when buying a Sager laptop? Now I'm really worried that I won't receive the package lol.
*
that is worrying. but xoticpc is a responsible company, so I wouldn't have any doubts that your laptop is already on its way smile.gif

QUOTE(amunriel @ Jun 13 2009, 09:10 AM)
currently the newest M17x allows user to hav SLI GTX 280m, when will Sager hav this option XD?

next month maybe ? http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9850-built-...der-p-2586.html

I'm just worried that USPS will lose the package on its way here. Seems to happen alot when I googled about it. Hopefully there's a big difference in the service between Express and Priority mail.

And NP9850 looks really good!
*
sometimes, people would hope their packages get lost to claim insurance + compensation tongue.gif unless of course if its a package with sentimental value.

if you don't get anything by friday next week, probably should email xoticpc telling it them it hasnt arrived

Anyone have info about intel turbo memory 4GB?
Does it really give improved significant performance?
BTW,the NP9850 really looks great...hopefully I can buy it oneday...
*
it works almost as well as plugging in a memory card and using vista ready boost. tongue.gif

I wouldn't get it. And the fact there's still driver issues with turbo memory + incompatible with Windows XP (For people who like to keep their options open)

Wow, the Sager NP9850 is an 18.4" laptop. That is absolutely huge. The power is also impressive though. But I've never heard of an 18.4" laptop though. I thought 17" was big enough, at 18.4" its beginning to lose the point of being a laptop.
*
yea, its heavy at 5.6Kg too (batt included)

all the features are top notch though. 280GTX SLi aside, there's the 3megapixel webcam, 4.1 sound system, and the 8 macro keys tongue.gif

hi, i wanna ask a few questions
1. Does the USPS Priority Mail include the insurance?
2. How does the 3% discount works? If you pay through paypal just like dat or pay through one of paypal services which im not sure of?
3. They give american plug or malaysian plug for the power adapter?
*
1) yes, all shipment includes insurance.
2) 3% works on money order (Telegraphic Transfer). xoticpc dosent accept paypal for international orders.
3)american plug

And which is the cheapest place in the US you can purchase?


xoticpc to my knowledge. Even cheaper than Sager themselves for the same thing with better service IMHO

QUOTE(Mucro.Asia @ Jun 29 2009, 05:00 PM)
shipping 100 ringgit to anywhere in malaysia. Not sure if that is expensive.

That's very reasonable if it reaches within 3 days.

Certainly very good news to have a local reseller rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

QUOTE(countmybones @ Jun 30 2009, 09:46 PM)
For those that ordered from Xoticpc, is the power plug US version or UK/Malaysian version?

it's the US "pin type"

he/she seems to be bringing Sagers into Malaysia.

I would advise against using a 3rd party to import your laptops into Malaysia. They will be liable to customs tax as the laptop is resold here.

We're bugging as many consultants as possible for the redtape. We will get a Ringgit account ASAP.
sorry for sounding up front, but would it be possible to share with us the "redtape" you're facing ?

Bringing in a computer brand to Malaysia would surely face no opposition from the government as the market is only between non-MY companies, hence no protectionism there. Sager themselves are also eager to extend their franchisee to as many places as possible.

if your start up capital allows, why not buy in batch from Clevo directly? Heard they consider if you order 500units with options for more.

either way, the best of luck for bringing performance laptops to MY biggrin.gif eagerly awaiting the day you start business here smile.gif

better ?

the 9800M GT is faster than the 8800M GTX. It consumes less power and dissipates less heat. So I can't see the advantage of a 8800 vs the 9800

most of the forumers here got it from xoticpc.com , they ship from US to MY but you pay for shipping if it needs to be RMA-ed. There's Mucro.Asia in Singapore who deals with these laptops too, try taking a look at their website.
