I got a feeling that paying for warranty in advance is not worth it.
I'd rather get an upgrade on the laptop and trust in Sager's quality then pay for the shipping cost warranty. |

Actually Keenxlimit, you can ask to change the order. Don't have to cancel it haha, unless you really needed to cancel it.

QUOTE(This is a Lamp @ Mar 11 2011, 11:34 AM) Yeah, just as lee_what says, most laptops are 2.0 speakers. Sure, do confirm me when you get it. Do a review, a brief and detailed one, that is =D5.1 THX TruStudio is just the program included, that allows 5.1 to be emitted from a set of 5.1 speakers if you have them (I think, I have to confirm this when I get the laptop next week) Anyway, regarding the GPUs. The 6970m is cheaper than the GTX 485m and performs almost equally, but I would think the GTX 580m is priced higher than both (obviously it's leagues higher than the other two). Power hungry isn't an issue if you're ordering the NP8170 or the NP8150; both have 180W power adapters. The issue pops up when you are using the NP8130, with the 120W power adapter. Also, an update on the orders worldwide. The laptops have begun shipping to customers yesterday (Thursday). Finally, the wait is over! For my case, I think a 5.1 is actually good enough, haha. I just want a great sound quality and clarity to boost my gaming experience. Actually I wanna ask something about power supply, I've been confused over the 8150 and 8130. Assume that I buy the same spec of 8150 and 8130. In what way does it affect if I used a bigger power supply like 8150 has compared to 8130 which only has 120W? Cooling? Does higher wattage provide a more stable system? Do educate me more, haha XD |

Hey I got a question for the NP8130 users or soon to be users.
Does the GTX460M support Optimus? IF it doesnt , will the laptop know how to change between the Intergrated GPU and the Standalone gpu?? thanks |

Then the 8130 is just fine with me? And the cooling in 8130 and 8150 is just the same right? 8150 has rubber finish while the 8130 has a plastic finish. Rubber finish is definitely better right? Another irony is that the 8150 has a glossy display while the 8130 has a matte display, it's just so hard to decide!! |
