shipping fees for xoticpc are the same anywhere outside the states so the only consideration would be import taxes. best to check if aust applies GST to laptops.
i survived a month using campus pc's while scouting for laptops to buy.
mmm .. 13"

well, best to enjoy what we have now

a 9800 still has a few years to go before losing its "performance" status

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.

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...

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

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!
