That's pretty subjective and I'll stay away from it lol (Flame Wars FTW!).

It's alright, was just wondering that's all... But if you add SLI at the back, it's a whole different story... Lawl...

Dude !!!

Wah damn expensive wei... after I customized mine ( not maxed out ) and then added shipping payment ... the price was around RM6.8k

At first I thought if it's below RM6K I confirm buy... but haihhhhzzzz....
..... sighhhhhhhhh

Hmmm but dude, I'm sure you considered the fact that the warranty thingy is useless for us non-US residents right ?

What made you look past it and then just buy it off online ?

p/s... About the discount I mailed the guy over there ask him to hold the discount for me while I decide in 2days haha duno whether can anot

What N1-C says is true, the Asus G50VT is an extremely good choice for those concerned about budget (about RM600 lower than the RM6800 Sager NP8660 configuration jackson mentioned, inclusive of shipping) and warranty (Xotic PC offers 2 years ASUS global warranty when purchasing the Asus G50VT from them). The graphics card (nVidia GeForce 9800M GS 512MB GDDR3) is more than sufficient for tearing through the latest games. Compared to the Asus G50V (no T) available in Malaysian markets that sport the GeForce 9700M GT and sells for over RM6500, this laptop slaps it soundly on both ass cheeks and roundhouse kicks it to Timbuktu, to put it one way.

On another note, for those that are still drooling over the NP8660, it seems to me that on the Xotic PC website they have removed the $400 off advertisement, but have integrated the discount/reduction in hardware price into the base cost. Essentially, this means that the prices they previously quoted as 'discounted' have now become base prices. In a nutshell - NP8660 is still a hell of a good buy lol.

On an even more pleasing note, Xotic PC acknowledged my wire transfer a few days ago and have begun the building/testing/burn-in/final QA phase of my NP8660. Fingers crossed, they might even ship it today or tomorrow! Another proud Sager owner coming right up!

Ah crap! Totally forgot about your offer. Got too excited over getting my new laptop that I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to my bank and broke my account lol.

Oh definitely an excellent buy! 

It's okay, I think the little extra I paid will make me treasure it even more.     

Hey corad I would like to purchase a Sager through you since you have the discount.

Oh ya and Ashikune when did you purchase your Sager ? And how long have you waited until today ?

Can you post your specs and the total amount that you needed to pay ? Including shipping taxes etc.

If you guys can convince me that this laptop can surely last long and no major problems ( I really take good care of my stuff btw ), I will most prolly get it then.

And guys, I'm leaving for overseas on mid-Feb. So do you guys think if I wait a lil longer maybe the price will drop or maybe there will be more discounts ? Thanks !

ehh ? I went into the link, chose my custom-Sager and then when I check-out I'm supposed to log-in ?

Am I supposed to purchase the laptop with your account ?

Sorry for being so long-winded coz this is my first-time attempting an online purchase.

Aikzzz

Similar specs, but your price? N1-C claimed he got some student discount or sumthing... How much is yours???

Lawl... Sorry, silly me. I missed that post... Why leave Vista out? It'll only add USD$50 only what...

Icic... thanks for the information Ashikune NC1 and conrad
I will definitely get a Sager as my bday gift so I'll keep you guys posted k !

And btw this is gonna be my first ever laptop haha, so I'm gonna take care of it as if it's my child lolz !

p/s... Do you guys think I should wait a lil longer to purchase ? Maybe the price will drop eventually ?

Yeahh I'm leaving around mid-Feb. Maybe I'll purchase it around end Jan ? Hmmmm or you guys think I should purchase it in Australia ? But then can a student survive only using the comp labs in the campus without his laptop in his own house ( to do uni work ) ?
Wahhh pls don't tempt me already, can you imagine I wait and wait and wait then suddenly a new model is released. Sager X666. All specs maxed out in a 13" screen with weight of 2kg. Can play all games in the next 10 years.

Think of how long you're gonna be in Aussie first. If it's long enough to take advantage of the services and warranty claims there, then wait until you're there then only buy one. It may be way cheaper there too...

Really? Another monster?

Is there any warranty coverage in Aus?

I doubt there will be any difference in warranty coverage should one be purchasing a Sager off Xotic PC. None of the available options for warranty state anything regarding global coverage.

PS: My laptop shipped today! 

Hmmm yeahh... And GST is about 10% too right ? Gosh !
Hahaha serious ? So what you normally do after uni hours then ? No comp no entertainment no internet.

With the specs like NP8600, I would say it can last us a good 3-4 years to catch up on new technology. After that period, it will still be a worthy buy I guess.
Are you referring to the services and warranty claims of the LAPTOP ? Coz I think the warranty is almost useless. I messaged a staff from xoticpc and he told me that we need to handle to shipping fees to and back ourselves. And how much is shipping fees for one way ? If it's still the same which is around $223 ( equivalent to the shipping method when u first purchase your laptop ) I think it will cost you a total of RM1600+ to send and claim ur pc back for repair.

Tell me I'm right

Hmm, with their service and warranty provided, it gives EVEN MORE reason to buy one... I'm tempted...

Hey corad, if buy through your given link i can get additional 10% off right? Kinna tempted atm lol but planning to buy 17" sager instead. Is the 10% off still applicable if i buy other than 15" sager?

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

I'm planning to buy Sager Np5796 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 .

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.

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...

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  .

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 .

Does a anybody know if i will get taxed by singapore government if i were to order a sager into singapore via shipping?

Im considering purchasing one but unfortunately i oledi bought myself a zepto laptop which has given me problems from day one and i dont know if i can get a refund since i've been using for the past 2 months but the fella who sold it to me knows that i have alot of problems with it.

They just gave me the SRS WOW sticker...which I don't really have much love for, It's alright though, but It would be nice if they had given me the 9800m GTS sticker...I love collecting GPU stickers... and processors too if given the chance.

Anyway, good luck on your exams, here's hoping you ace it.

bro wat it's mean by "remember to purchase via the link corad has provided"... u mean xoticpc website link or another link? sorry noob here.. how many weeks to took to ur doorstep? if i din go to LCCT collect, will they direct to my house door?

Oh that sucks man, anyway can i use the your link for np8660 to get np9262 or do i have to get direct link for np9262 to be eligible for the 10% discount?.

So far already customized to my prefered set up, just waiting to clear up some personal matters before purchasing .

Oh ya regarding the unlocked multipliers, u requested after u lay down the purchase or before purchase?

Sorry to bother u during your examination time   and good luck in your examinations.

As long as corad's there to help, nothing can go wrong =)
