yea.. its for all sagersĀ  smile.gif

tell me which one you'll want to buy and i'll give you the link. note that the 10% is not instant. i'll return the amount to you after purchase is made.

I'm planning to buy Sager Np9262 but still holding it yet atm due to dollar against ringgit exchange damn high sweat.gif . But before laying down my purchase there are several items which i might need you guys help to clarify though blush.gif .

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 notworthy.gif .

I've been an affiliate with xoticpc longer than I've been with lowyat.
Ashikune pretty much sumed everything up  thumbup.gif
I'll just clarify abit more, Total discount you get is 13% including shipping fees. And it takes ~2weeks from the time payment is made till your laptop arrives. I don't mind chatting about it here  smile.gif
yeap, my referral earning is 10% of what you TT to xoticpc.

Thanks for the detailed explanation too  icon_rolleyes.gif

EDIT: oh , and anyone can sign up to be an affliate with xoticpc and get the 10% back that way as well. just that xoticpc pays out via paypal and I've heard it can be tricky to redraw the fund locally. I'm still studying in the UK, so i'll be TT-ing the $$ back to the buyer. I do paypal as well if required. I wont be responsible for the bank charges tho  tongue.gif it's about GBP 9 if i recall correctly.
*
Thanks again for the sumed up detail guys. It is really a good deal although the exchange rate can really be the pain in the @ss atm. Wish i plan it earlier when the ringgit was much stronger a month or 2 ago. Hopefully i can lay the purchase soon as i'll be leaving m'sia end of january 09. Will keep u guys updated once i lay down my purchase.

Oh ya just to made it clear, i'm a going to use this laptop as my gaming laptop.

Common sense(at least mine) dictate as a hardcore gamer performance and reliability is my main concern and priority. Bling bling features are no where near my priority list. flex.gif thumbup.gif

After thorough consideration, i still prefer this lappie as i can get almost double the performance after customize and still not reaching 14k compared to alienware m15x.

To those bling bling or alienware fans, stay out of this thread and brag elsewhere.

Atm i'm using using sony ar59gu as my moderate gaming lappie and entertainment purposes and a hp compaq(company lappie) for office works.

P.S: I was a neutral between alienware and sager before but after reading through from page 1, i felt it is necessary to voice out what i had in mind flex.gif .

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 rclxms.gif .

its a good company so i stuck around  tongue.gif

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? brows.gif icon_idea.gif tongue.gif based on your previous post few page earlier rclxms.gif .

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 sweat.gif but counting down.

So i'll be looking forward to hear from u bro tongue.gif .

thanks for the review  thumbup.gif  rclxms.gif

and glad the laptop is up to expectations.

I've emailed sager support about the the unlocked multipliers. i only did it a few hours ago,(sorry) so waiting for their response.

noticed that your laptop dosent have the Centrino2 sticker. wonder why they did that ...  shakehead.gif

btw: to my fellow forumers, i'll wont be as active for these 2 weeks. just had my 1st paper today, and i underestimated how tough it would be  sweat.gif  sweat.gif still have till month end before exams are all over ...

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 brows.gif .

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 sweat.gif and good luck in your examinations.

If you were to retrieve it yourself, the only thing you'll be paying for is your car's fuel, there is no tax imposed on laptops. Well, for the bank wiring form, I think it's almost the same for all banks. You'd have to have the ABA routing code, bank address, the bank name and etc. Just bring along all the details with you and approach one of the bank's staff and inquire about TT. There should be a form for you to fill up. And of course, don't forget to bring along the cash.

Don't worry about the whole TT, as long as you print out the email that xoticpc sends you regarding the payment method and approach a senior staff of the bank, there's no way you'll go wrong.
If I'm not mistaken, the cash rebate code is written on that page itself, go through the whole page, it is written there in plain sight, if I'm not mistaken, of course.
*
Weird? I check out, searched through in and out but couldn't find the code. Tried going through the whole process thrice but still nothing. Anyway will try again now, hopefully can see it this time.

Edit: Any idea which page the code was in and which part? (delivery information? or payment information or confirmation?

Hey kira, if I am not mistaken, the code should be cashrebate. This was the code I entered in to get the discount when I ordered my laptop. Hope this helps.  smile.gif

Edit: The code can be found at the bottom of the customisation page for Sager laptops (the page where you choose your specs). I quote Xotic PC - Please use coupon code "cashrebate" during our checkout process to receive our special discounted cash price.

Gosh, how can i miss that doh.gif . Thanks a lot ashikune. Confirmed my order a while ago. Now waiting for the order e-mail then tt the money, next the most challenging phase-waiting doh.gif tongue.gif .

Added on January 14, 2009, 5:48 pmBtw any here have any idea which email xoticpc frequently uses? I mail a few enquiries to service@xoticpc.com but got no reply? And that was few days ago.

Bro corad, normally how u correspond with xoticpc? Need to get them to unlock the cpu multiplier as soon as possible.

spike of orders from around here maybe ?  tongue.gif  (but thats a good thing tho biggrin.gif )
unless you bought xoticpc warrenty, most of your technical queries are sent to : techsupport@sagernotebook.com . i'm surprised they din't at least email you back.
i'm not too sure how legal it is, with taxes on their side and everything. I'm not one to argue with them, so i'm just letting this one slide sad.gif

still, without the 10% its still a good buy for future buyers  thumbup.gif

and to be fair, they were sympathetic when i quoted the high shipping fee's + non local warranty support and replied :

Well all the packages do include the standard international warranty for parts and labor. But we need to pay for extension and extras to it. Anyway that's the weird part, no reply from them at all sweat.gif doh.gif . Well i'll forward my mails to techsupport@sagernotebook.com then and hopefully will get reply from there.

10% isn't that much of a difference. it's like another module of RAM i guess. but one thing is for sure, the longer you wait ... the better laptops become  rclxub.gif  biggrin.gif
haha, welcome back !  so far, xoticpc still offers the best deal for sager notebooks. din't bring your sager along to game ?  brows.gif
a further USD23 ? thats odd, i've only encountered my own bank charges. which sager did you get ?  rclxms.gif
it won't overheat if you take care of it  smile.gif the cooling on this laptop is superb. i don't think you can get OEM 9800M locally.
yeap the old school way of overclocking  tongue.gif sager support hasn't replied my emails about DIY unlocking multipliers though.
*
No idea about the extra charges bro but the amount xoticpc acknowledge received was us23 less than the amount that i bank wired to them. Anyway i ordered a sager np9262(posted a few times in my previous posts bro doh.gif ).

As for unlocking the cpu multiplyer request, here's the reply from them:

Hello, thank you for your email. I am sorry we are not aware of having any of our laptops overclock the CPU. If your friend found a way to do so, this would be at your disgression.

We provide the machines one way and if your friend found a way to do it, then you should also.

Please let us know how we can be of further assistance.

Thanks,


XOTIC PC Service Department

doh.gif

I guess that end of the journey to unlock my cpu multiplyer. Previously who did u refer to, to unlock your cpu corad?

Btw corad, did u have any sales representative from xoticpc sales department to follow up your order? Seems like mine's a bit delayed in the process of acknowledment of my 2nd or complete payment. Don't ask why i made it into 2 separate payment as it is our bank policy that for any online foreign tt=max limit for a day transaction=rm10k.

I did my 1st payment on 14/01/09 malaysian time zone and they received it on the same day 14/01/09 in US or 15/01/09 here in Malaysia due to 14 hours of difference in time zone. 2nd payment i made on 15/01/09(Thursday malaysian time-morning) but until now 17/01/09 they haven't acknowledged receiving it yetblink: ,. Mailed and called them but same answer received=haven't received the payment yet doh.gif

No idea what happened but my guess are either purposely delayed as weekend coming soon or ???. Anyway i'm going to mail the scanned receipts to them and get a sales representative to follow up my order.

I guess that all for now. Damn! The least i expected to happen just happened. doh.gif

Yeap same goes to me but in my case i had to pay additional US23x2 as the tt had to be done in 2 consequtive days. Actually was expecting a better feedback and customer service as my laptop is considered 'premium laptop' but instead the opposite scenario happened. Hopefully it is just me as this issue can seriously affect the reputation of xoticpc.

As for unlocking cpu's multipliers, i did request for it through mail and stated specifically "unlock my cpu multiplier" not oc my cpu but the reply i got was !@# as mentioned above. Guess the guy who replied my mail was not actually from technical department lol.

Anyway i'll wait until monday, reafirm with my bank(maybank) that the tt did went through then i'll decide the next course of action which include requesting for a full refund(if xoticpc still haven't receive my tt yet).

Yeap, finally some good news wink.gif . Just received an email from xoticpc after i mailed them my request for refund. Accordingly they just received confirmation regarding my wire transfer early sunday dawn. Beats me flat out on why, how and which bank operates on weekends sweat.gif blink.gif .

Well if i have 20k readily available plus sufficient time for a vacation then i might consider it brows.gif tongue.gif .

Latest update,just receive my sager np9262 this morning heheh. Actually the lappie arrived yesterday afternoon but due to nobody at home resulted me to self collect this morning. Well where do I start hehe, the box was big,weighing over 20kg LOL. The packaging was nice,tight and fit. Moving to the lappie, it was thicker,bulkier and heavier than I expected. But if compared to my Sony vaio, the np9262 is smaller in term of it's width. Anyway will continue the review later as I'm in hurry atm,catching my flight to kl LOL.
