I was looking at your Sager NP8690 on your site and after configuring it to my liking i found that it actually had a very good price compared to the m15x i have my eyes set on despite the more powerful graphics card. This is my customization:
Mucro Sager NP8690

Graphics Card: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M w/1G
SYSTEM CPU: CORE i7-720QM 1.6 GHz 1333MHz

HARD DISK DRIVE UPGRADE: 500G 7200rpm SATA II (+ MYR265.62)
Wireless Card: Intel Wi-Fi Link 5300AGN

OPTICAL DISK DRIVE: 8X Multi Drive
Addon Slot 1: none
Express Card Slot: none

OFFICIAL Sager Warranty | parts: 1 year warranty(parts)
Addon Local Mucro Warranty | labour: 3 year Regional carryin (labour) (+ MYR250.84)

Notebook Cooler: CoolerMaster Notepad U2 NoteBook Cooling Pad Black 2 fan (+ MYR82.22)
Total: MYR7,126.01
Gotta love the price of your DA refreshed
I have a couple of questions, though. For starters, do you think the laptop will have heating issues without a cooler? I know clevos are designed to be cool but stupid question: is it better than AW in terms of cooling?
2nd, i'm quite concerned about the warranty. Quoting you from another thread:
one is specific to parts, the other is labour cost. Parts cost is paid to Sager because of Sager's charges. Its the same as what you will find in XoticPC. Labour is the warranty cost we pay for Malaysia. For Malaysia, only carryin applies
I'm inexperienced in buying laptops so i'm sorry to ask so many questions
I'm still unclear about the quote above. Does that mean i have to buy 1 warranty that replaces parts and another labour one that fixes small things that go wrong? I'm not sure what you mean by Carrying either 
I suppose the parts warranty does not work overseas either, does it? I'm planning on using the laptop for a good 4-5 years and will probably buy it end of the year/ early next year. However, i'll probably be staying in Msia for just about 2 years after that before going overseas, & i may be travelling once in a while too. What combination of warranties do you recommend?
Also, could you advise me on whether i should buy the modem? What difference does it make. & how is the screen compared to the one on the m15x?
Finally, i just want to know if i'd be making the right choice if i buy a Sager. Honestly, looks-wise Alienware just does it for me. A lot, and that's a major factor. But i know that Sager would probably be a better deal (That would depend on the warranty again haha)

if i had to choose between M17x GTX280M SLi and Sager 18.6" GTX280M SLi(i forgot the name, sorry), i totally prefer M17x.
but for 15" laptop, i surely choose Sager NP8690 due to better GPU.
about the heating, for me both of them already in A level.
it just a matter between A+ or just normal A.
just my two cents though~
