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 .

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.

May I know what is the equivalent desktop card to the 9800M GT?

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.

So far any Sager had problems here yet? Wanna know about the reliability of the laptop..

Is anyone using www.maybank2u.com.my to do a wire transfer to XOTIC? It seems that they don't accept credit card for international orders =/. I need some guidance on the wire transfer process lol

Is it true that customs at KLIA/LCCT will detain the laptop if it's a new unit? Will I be able to avoid that if I request XoticPC to label the laptop as unit returning from warranty?

Hey guys just wanna ask, what time does XoticPC usually ship their laptop? What is the time difference between us and them? I ordered a laptop from them, not a Sager though, but MSI GT725. It's been 2 weeks already, and I'm expecting it to be shipping soon.

It's stuck in phase 2 for 2 weeks already.. lol

I'm getting quite frustrated with XoticPC. Although I'm not ordering Sager from them, instead it's a MSI laptop, it's been stuck in Phase 2 for almost 3 weeks already. The first time I emailed them, they told me it would be shipping in the early part of week 2. That didn't happen. Then I sent them a second email and they said production was complete and it would be shipping within 24-48 business hours. 48 business hours has gone by and still no shipping notification from them.

Anyone else experienced this when dealing with them? I can't really afford any delays anymore, will be leaving to Aussie soon.

Seems like my emails bugging them worked haha. My order shipped finally, awaiting tracking number now.

USPS option. Lol silly me, the tracking number is there but I didn't notice it. But it seems that it's not working at the moment? It says 'Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site'.

Hmm, the tracking number on my package still doesn't seem to work. I googled about this and many people said that USPS tracking number is really unreliable. Was anyone here able to track their package through USPS when buying a Sager laptop? Now I'm really worried that I won't receive the package lol.

Lol UPS is infinitely better, but it costs alot more though at 313USD.

I'm just worried that USPS will lose the package on its way here. Seems to happen alot when I googled about it. Hopefully there's a big difference in the service between Express and Priority mail.

And NP9850 looks really good!

Still not here yet, and that tracking number still doesn't work lol.

Around 5.5k in total, my specs are the default specs. Here:

* Model: MSI GT725-075
* Display: 17" WSXGA+ Glare Type (1680x1050)
* CPU: Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz

* HDD: 320GB 7200RPM

Serious? Lol can you give me the link?

It's here! Will do a review on it once my exams are over next week. Am I allowed to do so in a Sager thread?
