From what I can recall, corad did make a mention of requesting unlocked multipliers from Xotic PC before they shipped his laptop.

10% isn't that much of a difference. it's like another module of RAM i guess. but one thing is for sure, the longer you wait ... the better laptops become

haha, welcome back ! so far, xoticpc still offers the best deal for sager notebooks. din't bring your sager along to game ?

a further USD23 ? thats odd, i've only encountered my own bank charges. which sager did you get ?

it won't overheat if you take care of it the cooling on this laptop is superb. i don't think you can get OEM 9800M locally.

yeap the old school way of overclocking sager support hasn't replied my emails about DIY unlocking multipliers though.

No idea about the extra charges bro but the amount xoticpc acknowledge received was us23 less than the amount that i bank wired to them. Anyway i ordered a sager np9262(posted a few times in my previous posts bro ).

As for unlocking the cpu multiplyer request, here's the reply from them:

Hello, thank you for your email. I am sorry we are not aware of having any of our laptops overclock the CPU. If your friend found a way to do so, this would be at your disgression.

We provide the machines one way and if your friend found a way to do it, then you should also.

Please let us know how we can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

XOTIC PC Service Department



I guess that end of the journey to unlock my cpu multiplyer. Previously who did u refer to, to unlock your cpu corad?

Btw corad, did u have any sales representative from xoticpc sales department to follow up your order? Seems like mine's a bit delayed in the process of acknowledment of my 2nd or complete payment. Don't ask why i made it into 2 separate payment as it is our bank policy that for any online foreign tt=max limit for a day transaction=rm10k.

I did my 1st payment on 14/01/09 malaysian time zone and they received it on the same day 14/01/09 in US or 15/01/09 here in Malaysia due to 14 hours of difference in time zone. 2nd payment i made on 15/01/09(Thursday malaysian time-morning) but until now 17/01/09 they haven't acknowledged receiving it yetblink: ,. Mailed and called them but same answer received=haven't received the payment yet

No idea what happened but my guess are either purposely delayed as weekend coming soon or ???. Anyway i'm going to mail the scanned receipts to them and get a sales representative to follow up my order.

I guess that all for now. Damn! The least i expected to happen just happened.

Justin W was my sales representative during my order.

that is very odd

almost all my requests have been entertained and as far as I know, xoticpc's bank dosent charge for receiving TT's.

No in my case they too charge me, $30.

USD$30 for that? What the heck for?!

then did you guys have to TT it over again ? pay the bank twice for transfer charge ?

if that is the case, i would actually complain since they did state that their bank does not charge for TT.

Yes I end up paying twice since they cut the $30 of my payment. Luckily I manage to convince my bank to just TT $30 for me, JFYI I'm using HSBC.

Sorry for not mentioning earlier, I thought its just me making some silly mistakes.

@Enigmare

Its sort of like "service charge".

i'm using HSBC as well.

i havent kena this problem before. but it does sound unfair, considering you guys TT the requested amount over, then have to add in abit more after that. so 2x the bank charges

nope, i din't go through any representative. just ordered, and requested through the "Additional Info" box to have my multipliers unlocked. (not OC the CPU). Most of the emails I received were template type where they thank you for the payment and give a status update on your laptop. A few days later I get the "Laptop Shipped" email

Straight forward case for me.

wow, your lappie cost more than 10k

There's nothing I can do ATM but make the second payment. They were holding my $2k machine because of $30 .

Never though of complaining though ATM since I did it in the same day and they too checked and received it in the same day .

Anyway it would be good if you could mention it to them.

Yeap same goes to me but in my case i had to pay additional US23x2 as the tt had to be done in 2 consequtive days. Actually was expecting a better feedback and customer service as my laptop is considered 'premium laptop' but instead the opposite scenario happened. Hopefully it is just me as this issue can seriously affect the reputation of xoticpc.

As for unlocking cpu's multipliers, i did request for it through mail and stated specifically "unlock my cpu multiplier" not oc my cpu but the reply i got was !@# as mentioned above. Guess the guy who replied my mail was not actually from technical department lol.

Anyway i'll wait until monday, reafirm with my bank(maybank) that the tt did went through then i'll decide the next course of action which include requesting for a full refund(if xoticpc still haven't receive my tt yet).

i can't do much man. sorry

you would have to email them if you're unsatisfied.

i see problem are cropping up on this thread >< hopefully will be helpful to future buyers so they'll have something to refer to . but hope it's just a snag on xoticpc's side and that your laptop goes through... (with no more hassale )

Wah kirakun had to pay RM10k for the laptop altogether !?

I salute you !

I would suggest plan a holiday trip to the US. Buy the Sager there and bring it back.

No kidding.

Anyway, 9800M GTX in SLI? Epic.

Be sure to post some pictures for us to drool at.

It's here!

Meticulously crafted, brushed aluminum, creating a strong exterior finish all the while exuding elegance. Oh man, I'm in love lol.

Will update this post soon (I hope). At the moment suffering through the initial charge - have to go handcuff myself to my bedpost to stop myself from turning the Sager on.

Glad to know yours arrived too. Good luck with the handcuff and have fun (Although this sounds wrong).

Yeap, finally some good news . Just received an email from xoticpc after i mailed them my request for refund. Accordingly they just received confirmation regarding my wire transfer early sunday dawn. Beats me flat out on why, how and which bank operates on weekends .
My order will be updated today .

Well if i have 20k readily available plus sufficient time for a vacation then i might consider it .

Well i guess it is not much different than other sager's laptop in term of design besides the spec of coz. Anyway will keep u guys updated on it.

I'm starting to think we should change this thread into a Sager thread instead .

I remember Ashikune talked about his machine being shipped a week ago or so.
