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 ?

Yup, targetting to get one by the 3rd quarter of next year coz my current laptop is only like 3 months old.

Thanks and yes I'm based in Malaysia, Labuan Federal Territory. About the arrival time, I don't know as its not here yet. Hope you get yours soon!

And Corad I just noticed you're also in Sarawak! I travel back and forth from Labuan to Miri to study, are you by any chances are oil platform workers or also a student?

Hey, jz asking, I'm interested in NP2096, Which shipment method is the best ah?

Are you buying through XoticPC? I'm afraid there's only 2 options for international shipping which are the UPS and USPS. In both cases, they are expensive.

I personally would not recommend you if you're going after the NP2096 as you can get other brand with similar specification and most importantly, can buy it locally which save you from paying the huge amount of shipping fees.

Yeah. XoticPC.
What brand u recommend if I take local de? model, spec n price list~

I'm sure there's plenty of brand out there with the 9600M GT. A few that I remember are;

HP DV5T, Acer 5930G, MSI GX630 and BenQ Joybook S42.

I think there's more but i couldn't remember them all, try google them and be sure to look carefully at their specifications as there's various version of the same notebook which in some cases, doesn't come with 9600M GT

i'm a student

International USPS. It gives you tracking.

Hey corad. Just wondering, how would one go about obtaining the 7% student discount you mentioned from XoticPC? There doesn't seem to be any information on the website itself. Maybe I'm blind lol, but do you think you could enlighten me? Cheers haha. =p

There's a 7% student discount? @@"

well they seem to have redrawn it for now
and let me clarify : student discount = for university students only. It helps if your uni is known in the states

Not for the moment.

Oh.
Hahaha. Getting my hopes too high for now. xD

haha, who knows ... if we get enough users maybe we can get clevo / sager / xoticpc to set up a base here

I've been thinking of that too.
IMO sager's notebooks are quite the value for money and has hell lot of good specs.

Oh bummer. Yeah, figures that they would withdraw it - the $400 off is already a rather massive discount.

And I am only too aware of the uni student prereq lol, 2009 will be my final year (which means that it will be the last year for me to scrimp up some savings on this baby ).

I hv asked about this long time ago(may be 2,3 months ago) and they mention dat there is no student discount..

Definitely,it's still seem a bit unbelievable for me.

Who do i need to contact if i want to get it in Australia?
