the design look quite dull

the LCD look like square more than wide...

got heat issue??

Servicing is only done in the United States and all postage costs after delivery are bore by the buyer

Black brushed aluminium guess it's subjective, i for one dont like too much bling


15.4inch. Standard width and length with other 15.4 inches. this offers much higher reso tho

no heat issues. even after gaming for a few hours

Superb specs to price ratio. Anticipating more benchies from TS

Nice stuff going on there. Too bad the warranty issue is a letdown for most people. For 6.1k at such specs, you might describe it as 'affordable' but the problem is the warranty.

ANyways, congrats on the new purchase!! Maybe you want to show off at the "Buy Club" as well.

corad, may i know how did you purchase it since if i not mistaken they dont do shipping to other countries and they only accept US credit cards?

Any requests ? I'm not too sure what to do with it apart from treating it as my 2nd desktop

yeap, but my dell inspiron6400 is still going strong after 3 years so I'm hoping the same goes for this too

powernotebooks & sager themselves dont ship internationally. the company I bought it from does however (link on 1st post) payment is done through TT (direct) transfer.

Great specs but the appearance could be improved

The laptop spec is simply awesome, sadly Malaysia don't get good hardwares for lappy that early. Alienware entered 8700m gt SLi a long time ago while Malaysia Dell just adopt to it recently.

If i not mistaken xoticpc doesnt do shipping outside of the US or do they? Plus if i was interested in purchasing one, i cant use cc but i need to wire transfer in order to purchase one?

Also i found that for the price your paying is well below the recommended price as displayed at xoticpc, are you entitled to some special discount?

very spec, DDR3 + 500gb HDD + UXWGA+ in 15.4" LCD + Matte screen + 9800GTS 512mb.... everythg is better than mine.... this is abit insane

looking forward for some screenshot such as:
- 3dmark06 default benches,
- simultaneous ATItool stress + Orthos stress (blend+priority 8) + HWmonitor for at least 30mins
- CPU-z + GPU-z

Yes, xoticpc does ship internationally and they require wire transfers for international orders.

The price i'm paying is discounted with these offers : -EDITED-

No longer relevant since these discounts are already over.

will do right after my tests

For that price and features .. I will stick on Macbook Pro if I were to upgrade .. but surely not in the near future .. mine is still just under 2 yrs old .. load of life still on it ..

hmmm ? A Macbook pro costs at least RM1k more expensive than this , is less powerful in all areas and lacks convenience for ports. but then again, i'm an apple basher

yeap, sagers are rebranded clevo's. The same goes for Alienware, Falcon Northwest, Rock , Voodoo etc etc etc Probably much cheaper to buy off bulk ?

And also, those who are interested can add custom paint jobs / laser sketches and LED's to the laptop for that extra bling (and cost)

it wont take u much time.... as the stress and benches need time to run... so u can go study while it is stressing or running 3mark06 benches.... lol no reason u cant do it bcoz test...

hehe corad want more focus to his study. i saw Giancoli Physics book at his desk. probally if his laptop switched on the focus decrease to the 0%

lol... but he still replying here quite frequent ... doesn't make much diff ..... anyway must learn how to focus eventhou computer are turn on too... such high end computer user usually hard to live with their computer turn off..... probably its a good time to learn now...

yes, OS will affect the 3dmark06 score (XP vs vista).... just do it with ur winXP for 3dmark06....

while stressing it with ATItool + orthos and using HWmonitor to monitor the max temperature of ur CPU, GPU and chipset for long run stressing, the OS wont affect it i guess..
