Yeah yeah i know haha. It's easier said than done actually, in real life.

I found something funny.

I ordered mine without a HDD, therefore minusing $70 off my order. But my reseller forgot to take out the HDD inside the machine when they were testing it...and it was the new 750GB 7200RPM Momentus. Haha. Free HDD for me

And congratulations Radagust! Finally ! How'd you like it so far?

Hahaha. They didn't ask me about it lol.

Drivers support Stereoscopic 3D. And is available as an option on my control panel. Does that indicate it supports it? Pretty new to 3D haha.

Wrong wrong Soundsyst!!

The pin is like that because I live in Australia. If you buy from SG or Malaysia, the pin will be the 3 pin British Plug like you normally use at home.

If you buy it from USA, the pin will be the USA rounded 3 pin.

Hahaha, I don't think that they're that stupid to provide the same socket for every country

Damnnn you're always unsure!! Just buy from Mucro already!

Anyway, yes the NP8130 can have two HDD, but you have to sacrifice the DVD drive, and buy a SATA to SATA optical drive bay to replace it.

I smacked myself in the face after hearing that comment hahahaha

Congratulations! Did you get the GTX 485m with it? And welcome to LYN!

Hmmm. That's very odd. Did Windows installed successfully for you?
Reinstalling Windows can help; maybe it didn't load generic drivers for your devices during its installation.
I'm suprised that in your device manager doesn't even mention any sign of the ports.

I'm currently at work now, so I don't have the chance to screenshot my device manager right now.

EDIT: I will ask notebookreview.com for some feedback on this situation too.

Aluene,

I got some feedback from notebookreview.com. 2 people suggested a reinstallation of Windows. Another suggested BIOS reflash.

All these have already been said here too haha. If all else fails then no choice but to return it and get a replacement

Glad to hear someone is on the same boat as me .
Read my review on the system with GTX 485m:

kahje man, you never cease to make me laugh everytime I come to this thread haha. Good on ya!

Well, considering the NP8130 being such a value for money system...the demand is very high. And we haven't heard from Aluene yet

Well...Australia isn't the most technological advance nation. Custom laptops are non-existant here. Local stores do not sell good desktop parts, let alone laptops.

I asked for a 120W laptop adapter, they said "Huh, is there a laptop that has one?"

Kahje, why are you buying two? Haha, just asking.

Good to hear that actually! Hopefully like Radagust, you'll be enjoying it!

It sits at roughly 2 - 3 hours, most likely.

Haha 3AM. Oh well, least you got your reply now.

Anyway, you have NOTHING on your HDD. Only driver CDs and manual. So you need an OS for yourself.

Oh, my caddy came by! Time to put new games and benchmarks on the user review!

Got some game benchmarks up for the NP8150 today Will add to reviews:

Starcraft II, extreme settings. 40 - 60 FPS. No stutters and no lag at all. Very very smooth infact. AI game 1v1:


Darksiders, no video settings with the assumption that it's at full settings. 40 - 90 FPS :

Darksiders is like God of War, except for PC. It's pretty interesting actually.

Updated the review with some new benchmarks (Lost Planet 2, Pro Evo Soccer 2011, NBA 2K11, Starcraft II, Darksiders)

Haha wait, I haven't got those two yet. Gimme a few days maybe I'll head to the store and buy them. The next few ones are going to be Bad Company 2 and Black Ops.

Yep I am fully aware about Black Ops being normal. But there are people who are lacking in knowledge about how would Black Ops/DOTA/WoW run on this laptop. I mean, even though they are not demanding games, average users would be asking questions like "DOTA CAN PLAY AH?" or "HOW IF I PLAY RAID IN WOW, CAN?". I kinda dislike it, but have to deal with it haha.

Bulletstorm and Shogun Total War 2 will be in the list of benchmarks as well later on.
