corad, did you purchase it thru credit card or bank transfer?

Plus what are the shipping charges like? Does malaysia tax electronic goods which you import from other countries?

Coz i'm in singapore and im interested in getting the sager from xoticpc, unfortunately they dont do direct shipping to countries outside of america and canada and they dont accept non-american credit cards.

GPS feature for extra anti-theft protection (thief detector)?

Intel T9600 2.8ghz
nVidia 9800GT 512Mb

blueray optical drive
bluetooth , webcam , fingerprint reader etc etc



Bank transfer. They do international shipping anywhere for a flat fee for USD223.

No GPS on this laptop. No option to add on either i think

Quite big the heatsink...

yeap, nice big chunk of copper

this lappie is easy to upgrade also. just need to unscrew the back plate.

Ouch US223 just for shipping charges. If do bank transfer get additional discount or no since the config i did at their website adds up to USD 1736. If add the shipping charges close 2 USD 2k which is abit off my budget, plus i dont get any tech support if it spoils.

the USD 223 will get a 3% reduction as well if you pay by bank transfer. For me, this laptop was still cheaper than anything else in the market with the same specs and IMHO it's build quality is superior as well

people are speculating that the dollar will dip within these few months

Its oledi dipping.

9800M GT in 15 inch chassis is my dream laptop

corad, have you already installed Vista?
could tell me what brand of your LCD (check via Device Manager)

How much you bought for this spec???Planning to get one in future time.

yeap, installed vista already.

monitor is Generic PnP ? naw , just kidding . i'll look it up for you and post back here .



Rm8.3k including shipping.

Im still wondering about the build quality.

How good is it? Is it like Dell's one where the plastic are soft and flimsy or similar to HP's one,the plastic are stiffer,more rigid and overall feels better build quality.

Im targeting this brand for my next laptop.Somewhere next year or beyond and i want some thing powerful.Really powerful.

One more question,does Sager have support in Australia?

With those spec,RM 8.1K consider very cheap d.wow

i oni can say ................WOW!!!!!...*feel like selling my XPS*!!

only the bottom cover is plastic while the rest of the surfaces is aluminium. Yes, even better than HP or Toshiba

if you're going to be in Aust, i suggest you find a clevo retailer over there.(they are the ppl who supply Sager) then you'll have local warranty and wont hv to pay such a hefty price for shipping.

How is the heat dissipation when playing game???

Thanks.Just one more reason for me to get my laptop in Aus.

How hot would be the temperature for cpu and gpu when running games???What is the temperature for normal usage?

not high. 1st and 2nd post have all the benchmarks

Ooops.Din notice it.Thanks for the info man.
