haha , please praise me more .. i lurve it

jk jk jk

i think its because of the graphic card difference ?

but yea .. toshiba speaker are truely for laptops

OT: planing to get the sennheiser PC161's. recommended ?

I'll personally recommend the PC151 as there's no obvious difference between the two (Except for the price).

Well if you didnt create tis thread i wouldnt know there are other sager user in malaysia ... and the thread inspire me to upgrade my notebook!! which is something good~~ i hope my notebook last for 3-5 years or so.... i know sager/clevo from my chat friends who live in New York, they even give me link to the notebookreview forum where i indulge myself in all the knowledge of notebook technology and whatnot. I ALMOST wanted to bought the G70 with SLI 8700m GT and at the price of rm10.5k++++ when i wanted to replace my asus x51r, but boy, was i lucky to know about sager, it save me a whole lot of money~~~~~~

its a good thing that you are going to show others on the capability of the 9800m GTS, some claims that the performance difference with the 9800m GT are only of 10%. I read alot from notebook review forum and eventhough some of the user really wanted the 9800m GT, but the 9800m GTS are more than enough to handle latest games on the market at a very high setting. Its amazing though. And now the price for NP8860, since it have the 9800m GTS, have drop alot! it really is a bang for the buck...


@N1-C: i used to be in stamford but now im in UITM shah alam, but im in my last sem!! lolz... its amazing that my notebook beat some of the desktop around here lolzzzz yes im so freaking proud of my notebook, but i dont show it off, scared of thieves dude ~~~..... lolz

Well the thread seems pretty quiet these few days? All busy 'burning in' their 'new sager' lol. Guess I'll start off by breaking some ice around here hehe.

Anyway benchmarked with 3dmark06 trial version and managed to get 13.7k only with sli enable. Pretty low eh for 9800m gtx sli? No idea as everything's on stock and using latest nvidia notebook driver 170.20 i think.

Atm using ori vista ultimate 32bit. As for games, tried out with crysis warhead and farcry2.

Crysis warhead

Setting@gamers spec
Resolution @ 1920 with no anti aliasing.
Fps while gaming varies from 20 to 60, certain part of the game fps drop to 10 lol.

Farcry 2
Setting @ very high(ultra high and with anti-aliasing@8x, fps@around 10)
No anti aliasing
Resolution @ 1920
Fps while gaming varies from 30-60.

All games are 'lanun' version hehe. Have yet to acquired the ori version.

Conclusion even with the best laptop in the world, seems like the current games are still a level above to be playable with 'highest' setting lol.

Your score is pretty normal from the looks of it, the 9800M GTX SLI is not really good in benchmarking. A single 9800M GTX could score over 10k but dont underestimate the 9800M GTX in SLI lol.

I've seen 15k but that's with a Q9650 @ 3GHz.

Nevertheless... it destroyed every single notebook's GPU on the surface of earth (Including the recently yet to release 4870 crossfire according to Notebookcheck). You should be proud of that lol.

I'm thinking of doing some Fear 2 benchmark but I don't think its happening after I fire up my copy yesterday night, it just... maxed out lol.

Thank you and take care. Hope to hear from you soon.

I don't think bro corad can can help u on the 10% affliate programe discount. Refer to here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/820915/+460 for clarification. But still without the 10% discount, the price vs performance is still at the top among other laptops .

Oh ya u might wana consider taking off the creative labs sound blaster x-fi 7.1. Either u take it off from your order or it will be taken off from your order automatically after the order confirmed as it is at 'back order' status = no stock. Trust me as i did the same as u before.

thanks man. still havent bought anything yet

hi there !

Unfortunately, I can't give anymore discounts for xotipc... sorry man. acc been suspended

but i still hope you'll go ahead with getting a sager. brilliant laptop for its price.

Just wondering, any other np9262 users here or in m'sia?

Recent update downloaded fear 2 demo version, max out all settings and resolutions and managed to get fps lowest at 30 and highest at 55.

After about 2 hours of playing, check and temperature was around 60 for 1 gc while the other gc was around 52.

Latest news with the release of asus w90, ati officially 'dethrone' nvidia's top end mobile gc 9800mgtx with their flagship gc ati 4870.

Sadly so but still there are good news as in the near future, sager will outlast asus w90 in term of the ability to change and upgrade it's component hardwares.

Therefore conclusion, sager is still a better buy although price vs performance wise and of course design losses out to the latest release by asus w90.

just want to know, 17" sager laptop can fit in 15" laptop bag or not?how to doing if laptop gone noisy?tq.

No I don't think there's a chance for you to fit a 17" notebook into 15" bag.

There's nothing you can do about the noise actually, if you're referring to noise emitted by your notebook's fan and not some strange noise. The only cooling solution available to notebook so far is by air, thus as the fan spin up to cool the high performance part, the noise level with eventually goes up.

Bankster, breaking news for u. Np5797 now confirmed fully capable of supporting latest release from nvidia GTX 280M .

Latest update on my 3dmark06 with all setting on stock : 14155

Hi guys... I just found out this great thread.. and do let me revive and bump up this thread!

I just ordered a Sager NP5793 from Singapore and now anxiously waiting for my lappie to be delivered..

The specs are as below:-

Display:17" WUXGA LCD with Matte Finish Surface (1920x1200)

Processor:45nm Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 / 6MB L2 Cache 2.50GHz 800MHz FSB

Video & Graphics Card:Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS Graphics with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory

Operating System:Genuine MS Windows® VISTA Home Premium 32/64-Bit Edition

Memory:4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2 X 2048MB

Primary Hard Disk Drive:320GB 7200rpm SATA 300 Hard Drive

Optical Drive:2X Blu-ray Reader/8X DVD R/2.4X DL Super-Multi Drive

Wireless Network Card:Intel Wi-Fi Link 5300AGN - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN Module (add 68)

Intel Robson Technology:Intel 2GB TurboMemory Module

Primary Battery:Smart Li-ION Battery Pack (8 Cells)

Integrated Security Device:Fingerprint Reader

PLUS: Free gift of a Free Edifier M1335 Multimedia System worth SGD59

And the price I pay is SGD3,000 (overpriced or value buy?) No additional charges and inclusive of GST and free delivery.

Plus: Since I order from Singapore, the warranty is being covered both in Singapore and Sager USA. So, if anything spoilt, I can just sent it back to Singapore office by hand and no need to sent back to USA which can save me substantial shipping cost.

Bad thing is still have to wait for another 5-7 working days for my lappy to get into my hands... and I cant obtain another 3% discount bcos I din pay in cheque or cash.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club bro . Don't forget to post some review and benchmarks when u get your lappie .

Would like to enquire more about the shipping method. Is shipping free from xoticpc to USA?

If it is, is it possible to use vPOST to do my shipping then? Theoretically I could save the USD250+ shipping charges and only pay about at most SGD50 for the shipping charges to my Malaysian address.

Is there any shop in kl selling sager lappie???

I don't think so as currently only two type of shipping provided by xoticpc for international purchases as such UPS and USPS. Where as USPS are much cheaper compared to UPS and the price is standard for USPS at US223 for all kind and sizes of laptop available at xoticpc. But nevertheless u can try and email them(xoticpc) at service@xoticpc.com to enquire regarding your interest of using other shipping service.

Sadly so at the moment there are no retailer or shops in m'sia holding or planning to sell or selling sager lappie.

Hi, I heard many saying that Sager notebooks cooling system is super LOUD especially for model NP8660, NP5793 and NP5797.

Can any users here share their experience and review here? Thanks.
