perhaps ! just a think in mind ! haha...my desktop using two GTX480 plus 990x --- i was wondering changing 990x with 970 in np7280 ! but seems much work to do, 970 is enough for a laptop ! looool i guess 990x in np7280 will really drain both power adapters... .

is the size of the hard disk important? what impact will it have on the speed of things?

wow man, seeing u having a monster desktop and a monster lappy, u are definitely not from an average family, u are damn rich. lol. Also, 990x is too damn expensive for now, i am waiting for the prices to drop. oh ya, i heard from other forums tat if u having dual crossfire 6970m, u dun really need 2 power brick. For now, mostly the power brick is for nvidia graphic due to those 2 power hunger card. lol

hahahah....! you should be also ! np7280 is not a cheap machine even in basic setting ! but it worth somehow for those who working with CAd and so on, 990x is a real boost up with having SSDs and so on (not for purpose of gaming actually,mostly for programming and so on)...hopefully the price would drop for Extremes at q4 2011 if the new sandy bridge extreme CPU would lunch,...actually, if u check even Notebookreview forum you would notice there are people who are using gtx48m sli plus 990 with aadapter and there are not probles cuz they are not GAMING ! i know with 990x you will need extra adapter anyway for gaming, specially for overclocking , extra adapter may keep the laptop more stable compare with a single adapter, but i just take it becuz perhpas if later i upgrade my desktop to sandy bridge, so i will replace 970 with 990x ! regarding you well noted about 6970m, yes its correct, but there were issues with 6970m crossfire at full load, i saw and i asked it at notebookreview forum and they ok it !with some games like metro 2033 and crysis 2 and many benchmakrs there were power brick issues so even sager websites recmmoneding to user of this cards use the second adapter (offering a cheaper price than normal) to avoid any little issues ! so why not we avoid it !
BTW dun forgot take pictures from you lappy once u received it !

haha, sure will take some photo + seriously pimp carbon fiber sticker. Now i am actually wondering, where to get a cheap 990X processor. For the SSD, i wanted vertex 3 but then 7280 only support sata 2. It gonna be a waste of money getting that ssd. For graphic, i stay at single card till maybe nvidia launch gtx 580m, then maybe i will consider 2 card sli.

Man~~ why are all the laptop bags so expensive.. zzz..

hope to get a good deal on upcoming PC Show over at my side in June.

Hi jun.

Is your laptop running in good condition

Kindly let me know if you have problem.

Where do I get it? From lowyat?

yup, find the seller, Davis

what is advantage for sticking that carbon fiber exactly ? mabey can find 990x second hand actually somehwere in lowyat ! i'm not sure, i got mine in us for 999$ exactly (original price) - but if u are only gaming its actually useless, its not gonna dd up any noticeable frame to your game ....but its still worth for me having ssd for boosting the speed i love speed ! haha yeah GTX580m ! not sure when they gonna release it, i think now its time to release the low-end cards of this series, like 400 GT or GTS or 500 GT or GTS so on, but they already revealed gtx560m which in not very interesting for us !

lol, for me, the advantages that i can list out for sticking carbon fibre is actually protecting the coating of the pain then prevent it from scratches. I got an old acer laptop which i pimp it after i get it, then after 3 years of using, when i wanna sell it, i can remove the sticker and it looks brand new, mean can sell for higher prices even it is second hand.

for the graphic card ah, i mean since our notebook is classified as desknote, they should actually release a even more powderful graphic card for us to use xD

Maybe at that time, amd already release hd7000 series:D

loool so thats y ! hahaha, i usually sell my laptop to family friends ! hahah better lah they dun care it scratched or what ! haaha, BTW it makes laptop ugly ? i wont like to do that ! haha...but if it wasnt brushed almunum stuff it could be better, i sold my m17x after 1.5 use, it was like pretty new one, still keeping my m15x after 2 year alsmot ! its ok lah ! but yeah previously my Dell and MAckBookAir really destroyed by scratches ! haha

haha our desknot is the most greedy laptop ever ! BTW, if we are having a GTX485m SLI or 6970m Cross plus 12gb ram pushed to 1300mhz plus SSDs and lol 970 or 990x ! as if we really have a desktop but small, however even the mobility of it is so bad!!! i guess, at least sure for 80% performence of these cards in dual mode is equal to GTX570 or 6970 desktop version, so plus the other stuff and having a actuall desktop cpu insted of mobility cpu ! no worry better called Dekstop in small size ) haha no worry to run the games.... i hope i can get i faster ! wanna play The Witcher 2 on maximum settings on bigger screen than 15 inches all the dream may become tru by np7280 haha ! good - we advertising so much for np7280 , anybody except us? haha

hmm...my 8130 got sudden shutdown when i play crysis2, only happened once though. And windows got a bit laggy after reboot, but back to normal after I did another reboot. But after 2 days of playing..nothing happens so far..

Max temperature can go over 80-85c, no other games have done this to my sager b4....

GPU or CPU?

my GPU reaches 80C when L4D-ing in pasar pagi LOL!

It was CPU, GPU max 78c. Wat..L4D in pasar pagi? lol

lol...got a shop in pasar pagi selling phones ma
