only second gen processor support optimus, first gen processor dun

Support is one thing, implementing it is another thing..

Nope. Not that shop. It is a rather small shop. I will say half a shop. Specializes in making custom skins for various devices. It is the only one in Sim Lim. Custom Skins cost like 45+ i think. Carbon Fiber sticker are cheaper.

u wanna bring ur lappy for a custom skins ah? @@

That's the pity part about NP7282, if it came with a secondary generation i7 Core, then it should be perfect! Alienware M18X's tech spec is still better.
But for Sager NP8170, it's a one-to-one fight with Alienware M17X-R3.

but u know, running a desktop processor, it is as strong as second gen processor xD

That's why there are 2 fans on the CPU as compared to one fan on the M18X

but alienware really very pricey for such performance though

Thanks to blink-blink keyboard, other design customization and warranty

for me, i dun really like the blink blink keyboard though, the other design only add more to the weight. i used to type in the dark, those blink blink colour actually hurt mah eyes.

Any of you plan to upgrade to Ivy next year? All I know is sager components can be upgraded...but where can I get these brand new CPU/GPU?

@kpchoo29

You can buy the components from the reseller whom selling barebone notebook like RJTECH.com. I might buy a new laptop and give the old one to my little bro

I just checked and compared M18X and NP7282

Upgrading from GTX 460M to AMD HD6970M CrossFire
M18X: USD 400
NP7282: USD 625 (cheapest)

It's like USD 200 extra...hmm..., apparently, Alienware in U.S. is cheaper. Dell Malaysia overpricing Alienware...

@soundsyst64
oo...u think not worth upgrading?

i was wondering, how good is alienware cooling system? last time i ever heard that alienware system get overheated very much. well, tat is wat i heard though, might not true..

@kpchoo29
Depends on your preferences. If the current spec able to handle future games in moderate quality and can serve for many years, it's good enough.

@rickysim84
Probably because of the laptop design itself, or the user didn't do any maintenance for a very long time (getting rid of dust, etc)

hmm...bigger laptop comes with bigger room for cooling?

But this Alienware M18X really gives Sager NP7282 a slap.
M18X is not available in Malaysia, I tried to customize an M18X with AMD HD6970 crossfire in Dell U.S. website. Just choose not to upgrade the RAM and HDD since we can get cheaper here, price might be quite close to NP7282 and somemore it comes with an 18.4" screen.

eventhough can carry the problem is battery will last long 30 minets, i guess with my upcoming np7282 with having 970 and dual GPU it will last long 20 minet ! lol .;..... seriously u really cant count on this laptop as a mobility platform ....its a rock for gaming and working !

I wonder if Sager will come up with a 18.4 inch LCD screen, hahaha, kinda look forward to it
