I have been thinking of buying a sager np8151 with 8 gb ram and a gtx 1060 from amazon.com . I compared a lot and the sager laptop is much Cheaper when compared to laptops in india with the same specs. My main concern is will i face any problems in repairs or anything else? i need a laptop by the first week of november. Also if there are any other options please suggest.

Get a quote from AZOM asking about the availability of the same laptop.

can u share the quote or the reply u got from azom ?
@SaiyanGoku
iirc that add 160 might be shipping and customs cause at the checkout page amazon.com not .in always adds the customs and shipping charges

This question had always been hovering in people's mind and as far as I've seen the outcomes the custom office always screws people over and they end up paying a lot more in customs.. Only viable option for getting a laptop from US or any other country is if someone u know brings it here as his own laptop
