485m is a great buy now. Performance lose gtx580m a bit, but price is very good!

Can np8130 upgrade? Lets say after a year or so. i want to upgrade the CPU or GPU only. Can this be done?

i think can, why not? unless they mod the heat sink bigger or something

NP8130 can be upgraded, need new BIOS and new power brick for GPU upgrade, IIRC. I think one of the resellers in the US is doing that, as long as got NP8150 partner to swap with. LOL.

It can be upgraded to same grade CPU and GPU. For instance, GTX460m to GTX560m. It is subjected to the power supply.

yeah but i think 485M is a great upgrade now for those who are having 460m or 460m SLIs....If i Upgrade to 485m SLI then its nt worth for a 7 % increase i should go for 580M sli or the unknown 6990M Cf

6990m oredi available in UK , if you wanted to really wait for it to be released officially , u need to wait till Q4

Any suggestion.. Ill opt for sager since my budget is 5k for gaming laptop. Which one is the Best since im also looking for the lappy that can upgrade in the future.

@TruthHurts

Go for NP8150 since the basic spec is within that budget range.

my opinion...go for np8150...eventhough np8130 can upgrade too ...but at least np8150 when u upgrade u no nid to change ur power adaptor already....easier for u upgrade in future...jz my newbie's opinion...
or lets hear whats the other pro's suggestion...

gentechpc np8150 configure to gtx 580m

check it out illegear website....new products update....3d glass and caddy case

Does anyone here have any comments on Sager's reliability? I need a laptop to last me 4 years(my whole uni degree) and I'm considering the NP5165.

I'm going to be a mechanical engineer if that matters. If I change major it'll still be engineering so I do need a somewhat powerful laptop.

If you always clean dust on the vents and don't simply OC your laptop, it should be able to last for 4 years easily. Especially for models NP8130 onwards which have 2 vents.

ur word oc , does it mean overclock ?? is tat very hurt the processor? then if i use overclock when in gaming oni better or if not necessary better dun overclock it...which one u suggest?? or u prefer other ways to use it...i haven own a laptop such high tech YET

Better don't Overclock any laptop, either CPU or GPU etc, laptop cooling system is way too different with desktop.
Sager also won't deal with damages resulting from OC.

If OC GPU or CPU and it could damage it. Can get a new GPU or CPU to replace it without changing the whole set. Plus where can get the spare parts ?

If your CPU or GPU spoiled and it is not covered under Sager/illeGear warranty, you can buy the part from us directly.

So meaning any damage part i can get replacement easy. Hmmmm Intresting.
Can upgrade also ? Say that i want to upgrade the screen to 3d after a year. I just buy the 3d screen only and fit it myself?

Hey which resellers price are the most reasonable one right now? I have a connection in US they can post the laptop to me no problem, but if the price has not much difference with PrinceJ then prolly will get it from him. I am already having difficulty deciding which laptop. This Sager really is tempting ..
