Haha, of course it's cheaper .

I decided with USA because it's cheaper overall (based on my specs); SG based Sager would be about RM5.6K with shipping, USA based Sager is RM5K with shipping. I saved RM600, but lose the ability to use my warranty closer to MY (like the poster above me, who still can have warranty).

However, I am confident that I won't need the warranty so...just a matter of getting a cheaper laptop, and plus I will be conducting my own upgrades and repairs, unless something serious happens. I'm rarely back in Malaysia anyway so

Matter of preference I would say; by all means go for Mucro.Asia, because they are the closest Sager reseller to MY.

its seems cheaper btw aleune u bought edy?

From mucro asia? How much? I hear mucro asia will get the stock early feb

Yeah I got an email from LPC-Digital.



The anxious minds await the arrival of the beast...

The delays may pose a problem with me leaving the country mid Feb haha.   

For Sager/Clevo users, may I know what's the main reason you go with barebone laptop?

Price/performance? Future upgrade ability?

Cuz personally think that future upgrade ability almost nil due to fact almost newer cpu from intel using different socket. Maybe GTX460/485 MXM slot and cooling system compatible with future card.

Initially thinking of buying NP8150 but now thinking of spending half the money on midrange gaming laptop and spend another half for a new laptop in future

Guys, you bought the Sager laptops from Mucro Asia, so what's the shipping fee if we order the laptop from East Coast Malaysia?

I'm currently comparing between XoticPc and Mucro Asia, pricewise, I think XoticPC is cheaper excluding the shipping.

Please advice.

I think I am gonna go for a Sager  : D
Either the Sager NP8130 or NP8150.
How much would it cost for shipping to Sydney, Aus tho?
Ive emailed Xotic pc directly, they are not getting back to me :\

Well, I did check with GenTech too, but they currently have the normal
NP8150, I wanted the S1 model which is available in mucro or Xoticpc only.

So,Mucro is more worth the price?

After all,shipping fee is much lower and the finance fee, I could save that if I buy from Mucro right?

Yeh, I just read about that 2 mins ago....the bloody Aus govt. taxes the shit out of this laptop if you order it in.
Don't you get taxed in Malaysia though?

hey aleune hows your p150hm doing ? have you received it yet ?

did you order from mucro ?
the site says 1-3s ETA lol
am also tempted to order 8150 with 485m now
really cant wait for 6970

hmm just thinking why 8150 more popular than8130 is it because of future upgrade?

ic most people wan gtx485 right

Shipping it to East Malaysia would be more costly as compared shipping to West Malaysia isn't it?

Hmm,ya, I was actually planning to pay via Maybank2U.

Well, is there any such thing as customs officer checking the package or whatsoever and then fine you for purchasing a laptop overseas or from Singapore?
Would they do that?

hey guys, im on the verge of ordering a NP 8150 now since i cant really wait out for the 6970m since theres no confirmation on the date

is 2720qm, 460m 8gb ram better or
is 2630qm 485m    4gb ram better no BD ray bla
while the latter will have an extra cost of say RM600+
is it worth it if i go for the 485m, im a gamer who enjoys eye candies on every games i play

however, if there are anyone here who have a grasp of infos on the ETA of 6970m, kindly let me know as well

thanks for the reply, it was very helpful

Yes indeed, Ive been in contact with LBO and AL since last night, and it was only LBO that got back to me...twice! AL are still yet to..
The other thing I like is, their website is easier to navigate/use  hehe
AL tho, pride them selves in being the oldest most established reseller of Clevos in Australia, 10 years of experience.
They say their machines are built by 'ITC mobile computing'.
The price indeed is the most important factor, and thats why Ive gone with Clevo, it gives you more power for every dollar you spend than any other laptop manufacturer.
LBO also offer a stock 3 year warranty period, but this makes their notebooks a couple of hundred dollars more expensive. The AL machines are slightly cheaper, but come with only a 1 year warranty, if you upgrade to 3 years..it passes the cost of getting it from LBO. So theres that to consider as well.
I need my lappy soon, and with the floods up in Queensland, delivery has been on halt for quite some time

I am thinking of getting the NP8150 with a HD in the optical drive bay   so I can fit an SSD in there.

Now I  understand why you had ordered from the US, since ure in Malaysia right now. You can avoid the gst and upgrade it easily and cheaper like you said. But what about warranty?would you be able to send it in for repairs at either LBO or AL? or would it have to go all the way to the US, with you having to bare the shipping costs?
If so, wouldnt you be better buying from OZ? ok its slightly more expensive, but you have that completely worry free experience with the 3 year onsight pick warranty cocooning you..give me your thoughts please.
