so i posted before about buying a laptop but no replies, will no problem since i figured my budget isn't really going to be enough at least not this year Oops
so i wanted to ask since i don't live in usa i live in ksa which is around 12 hours trip via airplane i think?Confused so if i order a laptop how will will the packaging be? i mean being in an airplane for 12 hours bumping into walls must be hard.
and will it be packaged from the inside like rigs? or just from outside?
thank you and best regards,
Black5Lion.

Hello Black5Lion!

Hopefully Alex (management) can jump in here and let you know if they have any additional measures available to protect laptops on long voyages. I know they offer rigid wooden crates for desktops, but I am not sure if they do that for laptops or not. Additionally, shipping to KSA will incur extra charges due to customs fees, which you'll have to talk to Digital Storm about to get exact numbers. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that for budget reasons in case you weren't aware.

Black5Lion,

 
Thank you for your interest in our gaming laptops. There honestly is no need to worry about packaging as the units are packed with a few inches of foam on all sides. Unlike desktops which are heavier and have more fragile parts inside, laptops are fairly easy on shipping and should have no issues.

and i'm not really worried about shipping since laptops don't weight as much as desktops :)

oh sorry for asking so much xD
but since i'll be saving up money anyways, i kinda wondered if you guys plan on making laptops smaller than 15" like 13" or under?
sorry again got so much to ask xD
but i am thinking of a setup to have my laptop plugged into a monitor and external keyboard/mouse when i am at home. but when i leave i don't wanna be carrying something very heavy :)
again sorry xD but also if i plug it to an external monitor and go to displays and turn off the laptop display so it only displays on the monitor will that give me better performance?
