yea.. its for all sagers

tell me which one you'll want to buy and i'll give you the link. note that the 10% is not instant. i'll return the amount to you after purchase is made.

How did you get the 10% off in the first place?? Is it like Dell's coupons??

I'm planning to buy Sager Np9262 but still holding it yet atm due to dollar against ringgit exchange damn high . But before laying down my purchase there are several items which i might need you guys help to clarify though .

Like total estimate days from laying down the order till receive it.

For bank transfer/wire = i get another 7% discount?

For bank transfer/wire for shipping cost of us223 = i get another 3% discount from that amount?

Total discount i can get roughly?

Are we cool with discussing it here? If not do u have any personal msn where it's more convenient?

Thanks a lot for the feedback and reply .

Time estimate:

If you pay through bank/wire transfer, Xotic PC will acknowledge receipt of payment quite promptly. For myself, it only took one day for my payment to be credited to their account. According to Xotic PC building, testing, burn-in and quality assurance takes around 3-7 business days (they took only 2 days for mine). Shipping to Malaysia via the USD$223 option takes (using N1-C's shipment as a reference) 4 business days. Therefore, a rough estimate of the time it takes for a laptop to be ordered, built, sent out and finally arrive at your doorstep is between one to two weeks.

Discount:

Paying through bank/wire transfer entitles you to 3% discount off the total price of the order. This includes shipping as well. For example, if your laptop was, say USD$1777, adding USD$223 to that would mean a pre-discount total of USD$2000. The 3% discount is then applied to this amount (remember to enter in the 'cashrebate' coupon code when prompted to get it!), making the post-discount amount USD$1940.

Nota bene - The 3% discount only applies to the shipping cost when you choose the USD$223 option! The United Parcel Service shipping option will not be subject to the same discount!

If you purchase your laptop using corad's referral link, corad is offering a 10% "discount" off the post-discount total. I say "discount" because he is actually offering to refund you the affiliate earnings he receives from the referral (So kind! ). Using the above amount (USD$1940) as an example, this would most probably mean that he will refund you a total of USD$194. I am however unsure of two things:

(a) Whether his referral earnings are calculated with shipping cost in mind, and

(b) whether I have applied the 10% discount properly. Here I make the assumption that he gets 10% of the post-discount amount as affiliate earnings. He will have to clarify this.

Do understand that this is not an instant discount - you will have to pay the USD$1940 first; corad will refund you later when Xotic PC pays him.

To summarise, the total discount that you will get is the initial 3% off the pre-discounted amount, plus 10% off the post-discounted amount (subject to clarification from corad). Hope this answers your questions.

I've been an affiliate with xoticpc longer than I've been with lowyat.

Ashikune pretty much sumed everything up
I'll just clarify abit more, Total discount you get is 13% including shipping fees. And it takes ~2weeks from the time payment is made till your laptop arrives. I don't mind chatting about it here

yeap, my referral earning is 10% of what you TT to xoticpc.

Thanks for the detailed explanation too

EDIT: oh , and anyone can sign up to be an affliate with xoticpc and get the 10% back that way as well. just that xoticpc pays out via paypal and I've heard it can be tricky to redraw the fund locally. I'm still studying in the UK, so i'll be TT-ing the $$ back to the buyer. I do paypal as well if required. I wont be responsible for the bank charges tho it's about GBP 9 if i recall correctly.

corad is such a kind person.. Well, he's working towards bringing more Sagers to Malaysian enthusiasts, good work dude!

Thanks again for the sumed up detail guys. It is really a good deal although the exchange rate can really be the pain in the @ss atm. Wish i plan it earlier when the ringgit was much stronger a month or 2 ago. Hopefully i can lay the purchase soon as i'll be leaving m'sia end of january 09. Will keep u guys updated once i lay down my purchase.

Oh ya just to made it clear, i'm a going to use this laptop as my gaming laptop.

Common sense(at least mine) dictate as a hardcore gamer performance and reliability is my main concern and priority. Bling bling features are no where near my priority list.

After thorough consideration, i still prefer this lappie as i can get almost double the performance after customize and still not reaching 14k compared to alienware m15x.

To those bling bling or alienware fans, stay out of this thread and brag elsewhere.

Atm i'm using using sony ar59gu as my moderate gaming lappie and entertainment purposes and a hp compaq(company lappie) for office works.

P.S: I was a neutral between alienware and sager before but after reading through from page 1, i felt it is necessary to voice out what i had in mind .

What's considered bling bling???

Hey corad since you are senior affliate of xoptic, can i buy through u? And of course for all your trouble i'm willing to pay your commision as well. I believe the price will still be a lot less and a win win scenario for both of us lol. That is if u are ok with it.

Edit: Btw i'm from sarawak too, kuching to be precise .

I'm sure he's more than happy to do so... But I wonder how did he come around to be an affiliate like, for so long...

'Paging' for bro corad...where are u bro hehe...

yea, you get 10% off the amount you pay to xoticpc which laptop did you have in mind ?

its a good company so i stuck around

Just a quick question, are there any retailers selling this laptop in Australia? (Wanna avoid the shipping fees hehe). If yes, is it possible to get it in Melbourne because I'll be going there in about half a year's time.

Was comtemplating whether to get a new laptop or ship my whole desktop over there because I am quite reluctant to abandon my desktop at home since I just bought it not long ago. There's also the case of where I might not get used to the downgrade in performance of a new laptop compared to my current desktop unless I get a really expensive one. But as soon as I saw this Sager, I am ready to abandon my desktop anytime since it has such good value for it's performance .

Buy ur Sager ady ship over the desktop for me.

Quite weird to see such brand that offer good specs in mobility does not expand their outlets to nationwide. I'm sure the response will be good.

EXACTLY !

I guess u misunderstood me bro. What i meant was since you are the senior affliate and if you are the 1 who lay down the purchase, the discount should be about 25% right? based on your previous post few page earlier .

As for student discount, issit still available?

Well i'm pretty much interested at NP9262 and i'm planning to get it by end of this month(still have more than 2 weeks but counting down.

So i'll be looking forward to hear from u bro .

i'm not sure about retailers in aust , but the 10% should be enough to cover the shipping cost no?

i'm still about 15units (laptops) away from getting that 22% again.

sorry, but they don't offer student discounts anymore

bro u now do the bulk order? how was the price for ur lappy? quite interest....

Maybe because it's a gaming laptop and there's a very small market for these laptops since most people would prefer to game on their desktops instead. Although this laptop offers good performance for its price, you have to admit it's still pretty expensive for a laptop (RM6k above). Most people would prefer to get branded laptops such as a Vaio for its design and bragging factor(hehehe) instead of a custom one like Sager at that price.

Eh. Such a coincidence im having a Vaio SR26

Sager casing nice wert ( from wut i look at the pictars ), i mean it looks better than Dell XPS.
