dont ever follow my step else you will broke faster

i REALLY hope you're true. now is waiting time

how do we upgrade the internal hd ah? my np8130 running low on space d huhu

Unscrew the bottom plate labeled (4), take out HDD and install HDD with bigger space.


Or, you can buy caddy case and install new HDD on optical drive. In this case, you have to sacrifice the optical drive. Alternatively, the old HDD can be used as external.

i read that crucial SSD doesn't include screws. is that true?

where can i get those screws?

You don't need screws to install SSD on Sager.
Inside of my NP8150. You notice there's no screw to hold HDD in place as the back plate support HDD.

lol.another new thing for me.ty

an advice that i might not be able to take cause i'm about to go for an alienware or a sager if i couldnt get my asus G55 on time

i think im gonna sacrifice the optical drive la. Where can we get the caddy case ya?

try ask illegear.com (prince j @ lowyat)

just got my P151EM1 from Horize, Australia.

It was awesome for the 1st few days but found some faulty memory module after that.

Force to send back to horize. This is what I got the next 2 days of delivery.

congrats with your purchase.

I believe mSATA placed on the wireless card slot. Kindly contact Horize for confirmation.

i would go for alienware m14 if they offer better GPU with reasonable price

did u send back from malaysia to australia? if so, how much it cost you?

thanks thanks.. but not for the faulty memory part =(

if the msata is placed on the wireless card slot, will that means no more wifi if i wan ssd for my msata? =(

There's another minicard slot which you could install mSATA.
My laptop only has one minicard slot for wireless.

two silly questions,

1.Did anyone face heating issues with clevo machine within 2 years after purchasing?

2.What is the critical temperature for CPU and GPU in laptop.

1. mine using more than 1 year, no overheating problem and operates like normal.
2. This one quite varies. I think it's around 95'C for both, or the laptop suddenly shuts down due to overheating.

same with soundsyst64, no overheating problem. probably you need to clean the dust trapped in the laptop (trapped in the fans).

Thanks for the info.

so hows the screen and the performance?

p151em1 was my first choice but being poisoned from 670m to 675 and now 7970m

Performance was good. Able to run Crysis 2 (just nice) in extreme settings, but not battlefield 3.

Below are PC/3DMarks Screen Shoots





THX TruStudio Pro by Creative was really a powerful sounds enchanting software. It turns my Altec Lansing 2.1 into a much better speakers (better and heavier bass).
Furthermore, you really can feels the different of internal speaker with and without the software.

In fact, I was wondering around P150 and P151 too! But i'm out of budget for a better GPU. Therefore, P151 is my choice then!
