Awh thanks for the replies guys, if I am gonna order it online, might as well do it while I am in my next destination (OZ, for uni)
but by doing this, would it be any more expensive than getting it while in Malaysia? I wouldnt think so, cos the prices are fixed online by the manufacturer, and no middlemen (retailers) involved to change pricing. Please confirm this for me though. Thanks.
I am seriously thinking about getting a Sager, its less of a headache than other laptop products as these are fully customizable. Its just so annoying when laptops have 'pros' and 'cons'...weighing them out is just troublesome. With Sager you're getting a robust and sleek chassis (unlike alienware, too 'loud' for my liking) and everything inside, you can pick!

I am based in Australia (Brisbane actually) , and I can tell you this:

DO NOT BUY IN AUSTRALIA! The only reseller there, Pioneer Computers, sell their Dreambook (Sager) laptops for ridiculous prices. The equivalent laptop to my current NP8690, the Dreambook W860CU was about $3-4K AUD, which equals to 1:1 ratio of $3-$4K USD. This was with the i5! PROCESSOR! And my XoticPC one came straight with an i7!


With that amount of money in the US or Malaysia, you can buy almost the top of the line laptop from Sager, with an SLI or CrossfireX configs. And with that in mind, I bought mine from the USA, $2K cheaper than what it is in Australia. But you get the advantage of handing them for repairs, that's it.

it means that we have to pay twice for postage (send to mucro and then mucro send it back to us)? hmm.gif

During warranty, when we send things to you. Its free. Except when its considered "out of warranty". "Out of warranty" items have to pay all the costs, to/from shipping cost plus handling charge and partsand labour cost.
What we consider "Out of warranty" are items that have been tampered with, components/chips removed, etc. This does not apply to normal people.

Sometimes, if its just for a small job. You just need to go to the service centre in KL and get it fixed.
If you have a problem, you need to tell us BEFOREHAND as we need to make sure that the service centre will have the parts to fix it for you.

after considering the price of a single 485m
i think i will wait out for the 6970m since it probably will cost much lesser

You won't see Radeon 6970 anytime soon.

The silicon is still buggy as we speak.
You'll probably see it March/April.

It's likely pre-order instead of ready stock.

They can get it ready by early of February. It works like Dell, manufacture on order but not pre-order.

That's weird...it has a good processor + GPU but comes with only a 32bit OS and a 5400RPM drive sad.gif But I guess having the 485m and the 2720QM is a good trade off from the lackluster components.

Is that a Clevo though? Kinda looks like the P151HM

Look at the specs, the number of USB 3.0 / USB2.0 / esata / HDMI / DVI / Spdif out.
It does look like Clevo.

Added on January 21, 2011, 11:55 amThose who want to get 8150/8170, drivers are not available at Sager website.

But you can get it from Clevo website.

That should be good.
I find it has higher price for 2nd year warranty for parts.
Mucro is cheaper (all-in price).
I find SGCubehubs has Lenovo Y460 with i7-2720QM with Radeon 6550. Is it the first i7-2720QM we see?

Yes, I know about the tax free for oversea buyer.
Mucro.Asia explained that.

The shipping cost is still cheap as compared to other sellers.

Yeah, shipping at MYR227 with DHL (1-3 days) also fully insured is pretty good.
