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.

Did some research at Notebookreview awhile ago and I too purchased a NP8660 through Xotic PC and just got it shipped. While waiting, I wander around the net to see if any Malaysian bought it and got bump into your thread.

Its nice to see another Sager/Clevo user in Malaysia. My specifications are as the following;

15.4" WSXGA+, Intel® P9500, nVidia GeForce 9800M GTS 512MB, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 320GB 7200RPM HDD and normal DVD drive.

Paid for $1,980.74, picked the USPS shipping method without tracking number as it will cost me a good solid $2,093.26 with tracking number.

Welcome to the club! (as if I'm one of the owners. )

Are you based in Malaysia? If yes, how many days did it take for yours to arrive?

hope to see your thoughts on this laptop soon xoticpc usally notifies you 12 hours after your order has shipped . I got my laptop before the email was even sent out ( i had mine shipped to my UK address) hence the faster shipping

haha, any plans to get one yourself ?
