gosh lol , im asking everybody about this XD!!!!

is the dead pixel warranty worth gettin it? 300bucks++ ..

@kahjye : IMHO, i don't think the dead pixel warratny is worth it. not that it's not good, but based on some reviews, it is very rare to get dead pixel from sager notebook.

p/s: OMG u're such a forgetful, i thought i've posted my notebook specs ald

kahjye is just over excited and very worried about getting a lemon. I think Mucro has a policy of not charging you if you return a faulty unit (major fault) within 7 days of your delivery. Not too sure tho. Ask them.

The dead pixel warranty, just forget it. I didn't have any dead pixel when receive my unit. Don't worry so much. Trust us.... These laptops are very worth the money you're spending on them.

wohooo, I've ordered one from cubehub already.

btw, new on lYN forum. nice to meet you all

@maurgadple: what model did u order.

TS can add you to the owner list then

hahaha ...kinda excited
im getting two lemons

okay sir , then i shall proceed to sager by mucro asia then , thanks for all the contribution which clears my dillemma and confusion about this brand compared to others

Don't say something you do not wish to happen.

Good luck with your order and hope that you will get it as soon as possible without much hiccups.

the NP 8150

I know how kahjye feels . still having goosebumps after paying the laptop.

Good luck with your purchase and enjoy your new toy once arrived.

list updated

Lol, kahjye I thought you have already paid a few days ago?

I have got a bad Sager 8170.
Both USB 3.0 ports are not working. The card reader is not working. The enthernet port is not working.
I restart the notebook but it turns off instead.
Something is not right.

I check the device manager, i couldn't find the network adapter (enthernet card). I couldn't see the card reader too.

Can 8150/8170 users catch a snapshot of your device manager? I would like to see what's missing from my hardware list.

lol kahjye, finally you made your call

have you checked for any hidden devices as well? (View > Show hidden devices)

Maybe driver wasn't properly installed?

just a recommendation, but I guess you've tried here as well http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=driver_download2

try using driver genius

Both LAN and card reader are not detected.
Both USB3.0 are not working. All my USB3.0 devices couldn't be detected.
Only the 2 USB2.0 are working.

P/S I've tried drivers downloaded from Sager's website too. Not working.

Hey guys! I just ordered one np8130:)

Nice one =)

Guys, what are the difference in size between the power brick of the 8130 and 8150?
I wouldn't want a very bulky power brick like the 8150 has =S

I think there would be no diffrence on the power brick size, only the wattage.

haha no le bro....my brain is playing something inside..i cant decide until now...hahaha

yes sifooo!
Damn...tried to email the reseller?

nice!! what spec did u order?

woah device not found.

one thing i can imagine (but the probability for this to happen is very low) :

see if they got any bios update on the site. maybe (like i said, very low chance for this to happen), it is disabled in bios, thus the OS doesn't see the hardware. fixing it by updating BIOS sometimes can heal (if only laptop BIOS are as opened as desktop BIOS then it would be easier to solve this issue, seeing the 8130 review by xoticpc, looks like not much stuff can be done on BIOS)
