    Hi,

    This is my order experience with XoticPC for the Sager NP8230.

    The NP8230 I ordered was stock, except I chose to remove all branding.

    Total came to $1219.01, paid with credit card, free shipping.

    >Placed order on Monday night, July 22
    >Phase 1 - Order Confirmation, July 23, morning
    >Phase 2 - Sent for Custom Building, July 23, early afternoon
    >Phase 4 - Order Shipped, July 26 (Sager actually completed building the laptop July 25, and was shipped late afternoon according to UPS tracking; XoticPC received the shipping update from Sager the next day)
    >Delivered Tuesday, July 30 (Texas)

    Box arrived in good condition. Inside that box was another one that contains the following:

    >Laptop with battery inserted
    >Manual
    >120W AC Adapter
    >Disc containing drivers for Windows 7
    >Disc containing drivers for Windows 8
    >Disc containing OEM software for CyberLink Media Suite 8.

    Booted the laptop, installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 from a USB 2.0 flash drive, installed Windows 7 drivers.
    No problems so far, everything is working as expected.

    Derek S from XoticPC answered my emails quickly before and during my order. Overall a very smooth experience, thanks XoticPC! :)
