ic, if let say i do alot of photography editing, isit wise to take glossy then matted ? will matted have slightly blur on the picture ?
*
Anti-glare = outdoor
Glare = indoor

And of course, glossy is brighter than Matte.

if i buy this ssd, do i need to buy a case to  fit this SSD at my optical drives?

SSD in your primary.

Make 2 X 500GB HDD in 2nd and caddy (optical bay)

Do note that the hdd inside the optical bay cannot be raid

bro very fast, exactly one week after i order from prince j, the reason why i go for matte is because although i mainly use indoor, scared got reflections. but no doubt that glossy screen has more clear view on the colors.

Enjoy your Np8130 bro, I am happy to have a chance dealing with u.

I am currently in vacation trip, sorry for all the simple reply.

btw, is there any third party ac adaptor for 8130 ? let say, a smaller 1 for easier bring to travel ? >.<

I don't think so, the adapter connector pin is quite different from others.

Received my NP8150 from illeGear on Wednesday, but thanks to another screamyx episode, I only got a stable connection back today...
Haven't had much time to play around with the machine yet, but I can say that the screen is amazing (amazing that I can actually read anything even with such huge resolution, everything is so clear). Also it's matte and I was worried about if it would be bright enough in a dark room but it works brilliantly. Rubber finish -- feels different from all the cheap notebooks I've used and really solid. I tried running a few games and the sound was lousy, but that turned out to be a stupid Windows setting ("Loudness Equalization" not enabled). The 6990M is a complete monster, but temps were getting a bit high (90+) since I'm working in a non-ac room with crap ventilation so I have to see about getting a proper cooler pad or something. Also not sure about the idle temps --- just now I was getting low-60s/high-50s (actually it is jumping around in that temp range almost randomly) and load it as 0%, anybody else experience something similar? It's actually quite cool at the moment, been raining for some time and I have the windows open, so probably about 26-27C. Maxing out the fans (Fn+1) brought it down to 52C, but I don't think I should have to use that if I'm not playing anything. Using Catalyst 11.11, not that I have any idea whether or not that would make much of a difference.

Just noticed something funny... shocking.gif  HWMonitor is telling me there is a 2720QM under the hood. Which is news to me, because last I checked I'm pretty sure it was only a 2670QM. Has the CPU fairy paid me a visit?

Thanks for your patient and support, I am really happy to have a good deal with you.

Enjoy. smile.gif

Yes you have to buy a caddy case to fit the 3rd HDD.

I am sure I ordered an i7-2670qm from Sager, it is cleared stated correctly in the invoice.

I am not sure whether it is a mistake, I did encounter similar case before.

Sager invoice says it is a Sager unit.

I guess Sager shipped a non-branded unit to you.

I will double check with them tonight.

Generally it's not incompatible with the Sager NP 8170, most is the Unreliability of the Drives.
It's better if you ask in the notebookreview forum. Since some may have issues but didn't post.

Here is some of the link..

You're right, Intel SSD is the best compatible SSD for Sager.

You have to purchase a Clevo caddy, custom caddy doesn't have same cosmetic look and hardly fit into Sager laptop.

You can buy this from any Clevo retailer.

Thanks

Is it necessary to get i7 2860QM and 1600 ram? or prefer ssd over those?
*
What's your main purpose? It helps to determine the upgrade option.

1600MHz RAM is about the same as 1333MHz in real life usage.

SSD would be a great choice for those who need fast reading/writing speed.

I will not do any video editting or graphic work, but would like to play games at great graphic setting  tongue.gif

Then you need great GPU, not CPU.

You can either choose GTX580M or 6990M.

i7-2670qm is more than enough to carry GTX580M/ 6990M.

Decent graphic gaming is mainly subjected by GPU.

SSD would be a great choice.

Intel 320 is only SATA 2 only if I'm not mistaken.
Crucial is at a reasonable price and reliable too. As I too uses a crucial m4 ssd. Generally It's just plug and play. Not a single problem till now
*
I can see Crucial m4 (c400) is a very affordable choice for Sager users.

soundsyst64, thanks for the video. Look easy to install but it need SLI cable if another card are need to install...

Prince J, Thanks for the info... look like its around 2.5k for another card...

The SLI cable and heatsink will be coming along with the card.

You also need to flash the BIOS before using the GTX580M SLI.

Anyway just want to ask user of NVIDIA and AMD GPU here.... since i given a decision, Which card are better 580M or 6990M .... need a quick advice...i read some review and it seem 580M are better in term of stability firmware and physiX...while AMD more power only

Hi d33pbluez,

I just received the Sager GTX580M back order email couple of hours ago, your unit needs to be shipped on 21st of this month, therefore I could not get you informed before you finalized your order.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused and we appreciate your understanding.

Here are some reviews of average performances of 6990M Xfire and GTX580M SLI.

Thank you.

If there is any Sager NP8170 new BIOS, you can update it, however, installing a Clevo BIOS can brick your machine.

Anyone here with dual GTX580M inside their beast?

Doc,

Yeah it is a great competitor of NP7280.

However, our NP7280 demand is still way higher than M18x. hmm.gif

Maybe I should promote more for such discount.
