drools....sager can customize the specs?the cheapest is how much..

Yep. All Sagers are customizable (GPU, RAM, CPU, HDD, LCD, other things), except maybe the lower end mobility models (NP5170, NP5175, NP5160, NP5165...etc).

Currently the cheapest GAMING one would be about $1200 - 1300$USD...about RM3.8K without shipping. This is the NP8130, with Intel Core i7-2630QM, GTX 460m and 8GB RAM.

The mobility models are cheaper, about $800USD but they have the GT 555m/540m instead.

Mind you, that the laptop isn't really heavy but the adapter is very heavy! If you can afford exercising your shoulders then bringing it to Uni then the NP8150 isn't really that bad. I bring it out once in awhile. If your budget limit is up to RM8K, that's plenty to spend on things like SSDs and even enough for the GTX 485m. For me, I got this laptop for just its pure horsepower not portability. Another thing to note that it runs about 3 hours on balanced/power saver, so if you're not wanting the power adapter with you then this is something to think about .

Hope it helps. Feel free to ask more questions before deciding

i see...cn u tell me roughly the weight of it?

The laptop is 3kg ~

The adapter...um, I don't have a weighing machine around but it is like a text book.

how is the thx speaker?

i see...reading your review again, i just realised that they didnt hv any backlit keyboard. so sad to know that that is one of the most important feature for me...i guess i hv to pass . btw, thanx Lamp. u hv been such a great help

lol... backlit keyboard is also important to me, but still not the decisive factor like you do. To me the awkward layout is killing more, Clevo really could have made it better.
No backlit keyboard can still do something on it like using LED light etc. keyboard layout is fixed and no way to change it.

Whoa, just know that the adapter can throw people dead... 180W is way too high above average laptop.

backlit keyboard? i use glow in the dark stickers xD

Using sticker good meh? affect the typing feel or not. some more after some times can peel out?

hmm does affect the feel a bit. yes, it's eco friendly.. no traces after removed. and lasts up to 3 years..

lolz hw come backlit is so important?i blif after u use ur laptop for some time,u can type without even looking at it...i like the design by sager very much...simple yet so deadly...

The speakers are amazing. 5.1 settings work on it, and the bass is very strong. It somewhat needs fiddling with the THX software that was included with it. And glow in the dark stickers are one option as I also use it on my netbook...although the labels will block the Clevo function keys off (if used), which are quite useful.

That's alright. Some people are looking for specific features in their laptops anyway

The adapter I wont mind if weight as heavy as it is...
BUT I hate the size of the thing!

My customer will be shocked if I do presentation while showing my adapter.

Added Crysis 2 Gameplay

Do you think I can get cheaper atelsewhere for this specs?this price is quoted bya forumer Prince J

I did a similar config on XoticPC, the price got up to $4.2K, about RM12-13K. This isn't including shipping. so maybe it is about RM14K. About.

aiyo, i am sooo headache to make decision on this notebook. The keyboard layout is really killing, I do word processing a lot and keys like home, end, pg up, pg down are commonly used.
Can those keys become direct key if numlock is off?

I can tolerate keyboard without backlit, i can tolerate awkward numpad, but i cannot tolerate the home end pgup pgdn key...
I never expect keyboard can become a decisive factor for notebook zzz...

Another notebook i am considering is the Dell M4600. It offers everything i need except for the poor graphic card (~10% slower than 460m).

For Clevo i get only VGA but lose on dock station, keyboard, expresscard, 3G built in, 2nd hdd, warranty support.

Some rooms for upgrade for Clevo could be another plus point.
