Haha been meaning to ask if you had received your laptop. Good to know it arrived so promptly. I just placed an order for an NP8660(similar specs to yours), all the while worrying that something would go dreadfully wrong during shipping. Definitely reassuring to hear from you tongue.gif. Quick question though - who actually physically delivered the package to your address? Was wondering as the $223 shipping option that I chose means that the US Postal Service will be responsible for shipping. As they aren't a specialist shipping and logistics firm like Fed Ex or UPS, I'm kinda afraid that when the laptop reaches our shores the Pos Malaysia dudes will (mis)handle it lol. Please enlighten me! notworthy.gif

Hahaha I can totally understand your feeling, as I mentioned earlier, it took 4 business days to arrive but its actually longer if I count the non-business day... the waiting really shorten my life span lol.

Don't worry I'm using the same shipping option as yours. After the machine arrived in Malaysia, USPS actually hand the goods to Pos Laju and they'll send it to you using EMS. My case though and no joking its really Express, pretty fast but I think my dad told me that he had to pay the EMS charges for me... Well... I'm still kind of over excited ATM so don't really remember lol, good luck!

@Corad

Lol I'm surprised we're in the same university. Good like in your next semester!

Hey guys, I'm interested in the NP8660.

But I'm confused, does xoticpc ship internationally ?

If it does, how are the payment methods ?

How long does it take from the day u place your order and the product comes to your doorstep ?

He did state in his first post that it took 3 business days to ship right? Lawl.. Anyway, 6.1k for this is great value for money! The design doesn't suit my tastes though... How's the build quality of this thing? It seems metallic on the outside, but what matters is the feel of the keys...

The price is no more 6.1k as it require student discount to do so which only available during certain period of time. Not sure about the detail as I never come across such promotion.

However the US$400 discount will be over today, be fast.

Student prices for a Sager? You've got to be kidding? Does it apply for high school students only or what? And when's the period for that?

Yes they ship internationally. USD 223 standard rate with tracking.
there is a cheaper option but that dosent come with tracking. Your hair can turn grey with worry waiting for it to come that way.

Keys are plastic. Abit hard for me but overall still comfortable.

student discounts are only available for university students. too bad they pulled this promotion not long after i bought mine.

The keys here aren't really a plus point... Was expecting a little more upmarket feel on the keys since Sager is a custom and upmarket brand...

Clevo made the barebone not Sager, they only put in the components.

You can see a official review here @ NotebookReview's forum.

clevo is an OEM manufacture. they ship barebone laptops (chasis/screen/graphic card) to vendors such as Sager, Falcon Northwest, Rock , Kolbalt Komputers etc to be sold off to consumers with addition components (RAM, HDD, Optical driver etc)

i like this quote from notebookreview.com rclxms.gif

Without a doubt, the NP8660 is an awesome all-around performer. This 15.4-inch gaming notebook is the fastest in its class for gaming performance, and is faster than many 17-inch gaming notebooks. I give the NP8660 my full recommendation for gamers looking for a suitable machine.
