I'm planning to get NP8130/NP8150, but does our custom charge any tax when shipping from mucro asia to malaysia?

and is it possible to upgrade CPU/GPU?

Problem is, I'm living in east my. Shipping is the only option.

i wait for sandybridge or with ati hd6970m, and also looking for some place that offer cheap price includes everything (shipping, taxes, etc)

i observe mucro asia offers good price.

is it includes everything like taxes and shipping to malaysia?

I opt for NP8150 which can upgrade to GTX 480M, but not sure if this model able to upgrade future GPU like GTX 500 series.

oh, it's a typo

NP8150 version is a good choice if you wants to upgrade your CPU+GPU to newer one

no. i mean upgrade higher cpu and same socket

8150 and 8170 model can upgrade it's gpu, as well as other sager's high end model

it means that we have to pay twice for postage (send to mucro and then mucro send it back to us)?

you can buy from mucro.asia singapore. shipping to malaysia via dhl around RM 200++

register for account first, activate and you can start shopping. they offer DHL and Pos Malaysia Registered Parcel for delivery.

they accept bank-in payment to their maybank account.

NP8150 is ideal for my budget and future upgrades (esp. graphics and processor) If nvidia release future gc that can put in np8150, i upgrade it straightaway.

not necessarily. I'm short RM 2K and need 2 more months before I can get one.

It's much better if mucro asia provide laptop skinning service like xoticpc

If shipping using DHL from mucro asia to malaysia, only cost RM 250++

you can try play around with the config and add RM227 for DHL shipping or RM 110 for insured Pos Malaysia

Finally, I have a reason to hold my purchase for a while

search 'sager' in garage sales > notebook & pda. Got few sellers offer sager notebooks

Intel finds Sandy Bridge chipset design flaw, shipments stopped and recalls beginning/

A problem requiring a "silicon fix" is bad news in the chipset business, and sadly that's what Intel is announcing. Its new Intel 6 Series chipset, Cougar Point, has been found to have a flaw, something to do with the SATA controller. Intel is indicating that the ports can "degrade over time," leading to poor i/o performance down the road. All shipments have been stopped and a fix has been implemented for new deliveries, but it sounds like recalls will be starting soon for those with this ticking time bomb silicon within. It isn't a critical problem right now, though, so if you own a Sandy Bridge Core i5 or Core i7 system keep computing with confidence while looking for a recall notice, but it is bad news for Intel's bottom line: the company is advising a $300 million hit to revenue.
