Actually not even close to rich. Just that we are already earning on our own Aka working. Therefore we can afford in ways that we can.

Sniper, welcome to the club. Although I have yet to receive mine LOL. According mine will be shipped in these 1 or 2 days.  

USD223 may be quite alot, but the total price will still be cheaper than similar spec-ed laptops here
wa sniper, you should have started a sager thread when you got yours la 

i think sager has always had international shipping.

i'm wondering how big difference is 1680x1050 vs 1920x1200 coz many say lower res (for 15.4") is better in gaming exp.

Notebook Mucro Sager NP8690
Mucro.asia - RM 5,139 (cheap? same spec with setoyo) but doesnt come with free delivery?   No other discounts?    I am looking at RM4,500 to 4,800 without OS.
xoticpc.com - RM 5,022.5 (exh 3.25 - USD 1.) but doesnt have Zalman ZM-NC2000 NOTEBOOK COOLER - so slight lower price quoted  + RM300 delivery??? or free.
I am confused.
In the end, mucro.asia is cheaper..but heard quality control is abit sux.

Difference between modified NP8690 compared to Alien Mx15

- casing design (MX15 wins here)
- software  (MX15 wins)
- hardware (NP8690 wins, same or better than Mx15, except for slot type dvd)
- New technology - USB 3.0 (Both doesnt have)
- Pricing - NP6890 way cheaper
- Quality control - (I have to give to DELL - Alienware)
- Heating problem - (Maybe due to heat vent, Mx15 doesnt have it.)
- Discounts - I think Alienware, just like DELL, giving out 3 to 5% discounts!
