Hi anyone knows what's the price of NP8960 INCLUDING shipping fees ?

awesome, cheers mate !

Would you recommend anything other than TNT ? I'm quite worried about the other non-insured shippings.

ah no no you misunderstood my point, what I was trying to say is other than TNT ( which is insured ), would you recommend me trying other non-insured shippers lol.

But yea I guess it's a no brainer to not spend a little bit more to ensure that you product is safe . Plus you get to lay your hands on it sooner.

Thanks for your time bro, appreciate it.

To all the sifus in here,

I'll be heading to the UK in October this year and I'm planning to get this from Mucro asia , probably costs around 5.1 k including shipping =).

Will lag be an issue due to the bigger resolution as opposed to the conventional 16:9 ? Can my proc handle it

and I don't know a single thing about the thermal paste mentioned above, will using a cooler rid me of this extra expenditure ?

p.s. asus g73 is one of my options ,but the weight really is an issue for me.

yaya the aspect ratio, sorry I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this. The default option is 15.6 inch HDplus/GT 16:9, I'm planning to get FHD WUXGA/GT. The difference lies in the HD part only is it ? nothing to do with the screen resolution or aspect ratio ?


Thanks a lot for your information bro, was pondering about upgrading it to i7 but from what I see, my current spec should suffice  .

As for the cooler, I guess any cooler will do the trick ? Shall get the thermal paste if it's really hot after I get it.

Don't mind me asking, what is your 8690's spec  , and did you include any extended, dead pixel warranties when you bought it ? Bought it from mucroasia too ?


hehe Bro, i included a razer earphone and a cooler along with a 2 year warranty , total cost around 400-500 extra

Sager np8690's starting price is only RM 3100 + on Mucro. GLITCH ? O_O !!

How did you guys pay for your sager laptops when ordering from Mucro ya ? I tried using Paypal but it says the merchant doesn't accept currency denominated in MYR.

I'm placing my order today, still deliberating about the CPU. Is i5 more than enough for my needs ? Or should I go opt for the '' future-proof '' i7 ?

I don't do video editing, mainly games and movies.

it's a bug, I suggest not paying now.They canceled my order the other day when this happened.

Well they do have this bug with their currency converter from time to time lol. Maybe they fixed it quickly that time.

p.s. I finally placed my order n made the payment today =), hope to join the owners list soon.

Ahh I see, how long it took yours to arrive at your doorsteps ya ?

Yeap, Mucro is selling them and the starting price is RM5895 lol. VERY impressive specs I must say.

12 days huh ? I hope I can get it soon because I'm leaving to the UK at the end of this month haha.

Actually they do, the old model is still there.

hey wolf, did your Order Status in Mucro's homepage changed at anytime during the 12 days waiting period ? It's been 11 days but mine is only still " Confirmed and Paid ".

Haha, that's really relieving because I emailed them when I first made the payment and they said they received it but the status has been the same ever since then. Thanks mate, I really can't wait to get my hands on my baby.

yup yup.

No idea. Probably some rich fella ?? It'll be really cool to own 1 right now because it's still so new in the market.


p.s. finally got my hands on this thing, can't wait to get started !!!! But I noticed that there are no Sager logos at the back of the laptop ?

I see . Do you guys have any Sager logos for me to stick on it ?


Well the important thing is that the machine works fine, will run tests on it tomorrow and hopefully everything turns out fine.

It's good to see that this thread is brought back to life again LOL. It was so quiet for the past few weeks.

That's great news ! Any idea how long that'll take ? I'm leaving to the UK soon lol.

On the other hand, how long do I have to charge the laptop battery when charging for the 1st time ?
