Overview

This is my first review of any kind of laptop. I've been using several laptops for over several years now, but never wrote any review (So, sorry for the lack of information I have right now, but I'll update the first post from time to time).

This Sager NP8130 (aka Clevo P151HM1) is a younger sibling of Sager NP8150 (aka Clevo P150HM). The term younger basically means that the technical specifications is lowered compared to its brother.

*Added : Bought through LPC-Digital with Credit Card for 1209 USD (excluding 139 USD for shipping) Note : They give you 3% discount if you pay cash/e-cheque/cheque/money order*

wah....how do u feel?

is it powerful enuf?

LOL wut 7 FPS
your settings for metro a ittle too high

Grats TS on purchase
Damn the specs are simply awesome

lol 7 fps , like a p4 playing cod black ops :S

oh well...

I was looking at getting an NP8130 before this. But budget constraints at the moment...

Anyways, congrats on your purchase.

plz show me pics of thickness if possible by a measuring tape or can we meet up somewhere/or i drop by house i really want to see the laptop live face to face

Looks good but you cant really play games in High/Very high mode

Most of us can't even play some of the games in medium mode
Hell some of us can't even play the game

Oh, typo on:

Answering question first

@Pewufod : I'm practically just trying on the highest resolution possible and see how bad will it go. I do expect the FPS though, based on review at notebookcheck.net

@ineser & [PF]T.J. : It would depend on what game you are playing. For Metro, even with GTX 485 you'll still get a bad FPS

You can check for other cards and games matrix at : http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.html

@This Is A Lamp : Edited the typo~

@Ridhhy : Edited in the 1st post. Hey, didn't I put the same thing yesterday at LYN Sager's official forum?

and now, some picture taken from up/side/back

looks so much like the 8150
and the razer sticker seems a bit odd lol
anyway thx for the screenies

ya ah ? looks kinda cool to me lol , but the sticker is like...abit not sticky? :S

the razer one is very old, i cilok from old laptop to my Sager

lol no wonder lor bro , mind to post up how the carrying bag provided looks like a?

if you dont mind, can post up the price tag for this machine and how you order it?

i believe its around 4k and..erh dunno where he got that from xD

@kahjye : I bought the laptop without any bags. LPC gave you two choices, no bags or pay extra for Targus. However, I am using a Deuter Giga Office Pro.

@amduser : price updated at 1st post. refer our Sager's topic on other resellers http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1755925

@pewufod : Yep, 8130 and 8150 are very lookalike, physically the difference should be that 8150 surface is made of rubber (although some argue that it doesn't really feel like rubber), while 8130 feels more towards plastic polished with sandpaper.
