You can email xoticpc.com to ask, since they may have new rates. Also look at gentechpc.com , I've found these 2 to be cheapest. Done business with both before and no complaints

Sager Official Website stated that $300++ for delivery chrge to Malaysia..

xotic pc sell $1172 only

Yes about that amount. But if I remember correctly, you don't pay for taxes here as well...so there's no extra charges.

And yes I've seen the new Sager NP8150 and the NP8130. Will order one of them soon once I sell my laptop and salary

The NP8130 sells for $1100~ while the NP8150 amounts up to $1200-1300~ . Both with GTX 460m and the lowest grade SB processor. Notable differences are the colour of the laptops and type of screen used, e.g. The NP8130 has a black finish and Matte 1920x1080 while the NP8150 has a light-grey finish and Glossy 1920x1080.

Also 2 - 3 Hours battery life! Now that's great for a performance laptop! But apparently these do not have switchable graphics like the ones mentioned in reviews...

XoticPC alredi release sb ka? cant find it in the website..

Both are 15.6"

http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8130-built-...?wconfigure=yes

http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8150-built-...?wconfigure=yes

Which u will choose? H0w 2 claim insurance for Sager Laptop?

Probably will choose the NP8150, because it has glossy screen like my NP8690. The screen quality on mine is really really good, so I expect that the newer NP8150 will be same or better.

What do u mean by insurance? You mean warranty ?

And I'm selling my current laptop here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1711116

typo..Yup, I mean warranty..

I did not apply for any because I think I'm capable of fixing my own laptop.

BUT, all Sager notebooks have 1 year parts warranty, and XoticPC covers you with a 3 year labor warranty.

Both of these came with my laptop automatically upon purchase.

If something happen such as screen crack or mobo malfunction..need 2 send laptop to xoticPC?

Yes. Back to XoticPC.

But Sager is possible too but they will charge.

Delivery fee?

Haha, there's a fee for the XoticPC .

But the Sager warranty they have free delivery.

If in warranty, can change hdd to ssd x?

You mean...will the warranty be valid when you change drives or anything?

Yes it will still be valid because Sager allows upgrades while maintaining your warranty. The only time the warranty is not valid is when you MODIFY the components personally.

Examples are replacing copper heatsink and modifying its size to increase heat efficiency or modifying the keyboard to add backlighting or modifying RAM chips with a coating of copper, allowing more heat disperse. Basically things you hardwire/physically change within the computer.

It's like, adding a racing side skirt kit to a car as oppose to adding a new MP3 stereo to the car. Side skirts you have to drill the skirt in, measure the sizes and cut appropriate angles, while the MP3 stereo...just take out old one and put new one right?

no doubt eventhough 8150 using i7-2630qm g53jw still worth to buy cause of package+2 year warranty+ backlight keyboard

I'm not a fan of backlight keyboard, I don't mind having it though. I have meetings that I bring my laptop around...it isn't fancy looking, no one wonders what it is you bring to meetings, no bad impression.

But even if it's the same specs, you put together with the G53JW, the Sager is superior due to the attention the company put effort into the cooling system of the laptop and the ease of maintenance. Cooling is essential for prolong life of the laptop components. You open the NP8690 up, all you see is fans, coppers, big heatsinks, ample air space. Even the HDD is covered in aluminium.

Bit unrelated but, I had an Alienware M17x, dual CrossfireX ATi 5870ms. It was fast, for a while. It stuttered many times because it was too hot and shuts down sometimes; the laptop just puts everything inside but disregards the cooling system...and it runs like an Air Asia plane that got delayed waiting to be refueled in a rush. Another friend of mine has the same issue, M15x.

Compare that to the x7200, Sager's dual GTX480m laptop, almost similar specs to M17x, stronger GPU (more heat). Runs cool in the 40C idle, and 80C load. I don't see it shutting down ANYTIME at all.

And also, not saying ASUS itself is bad, I actually really like ASUS (like my little netbook ). If Sager didn't cross my mind, I'll go for ASUS.

I am quite biased, as you can see But I have experienced many designs, and I still think Sager is worth looking at. Maybe the warranty applies to many users here, but I tend to overlook the warranty. If laptop is taken care of fine, then you don't need warranty and money is saved.

And, this saying comes to mind:

You pay for the best, they give you the best.

Oh it's flame time my lord!
