.:Overview:.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sager_Notebook_Computers

Sager Midern Computer, Inc., is an OEM computer manufacturer specializing in laptop computers. The company is generally publicly referred to as Sager Notebook Computer, as indicated by their website[1]. Sager, for short, is publicly recognizable for its high end gaming laptops. However, Sager offers a wide variety of services, including solutions for mobile gaming, video editing, and business applications[1]. In addition to selling physical hardware, Sager also offers complete support and repair services for all Clevo based Laptops. This service is offered even if the laptop was not ordered through Sager, although in that case the user must pay in full for all services provided. Although the company sells laptops via its own website, it also utilizes numerous resellers who sell the laptops with the Sager brand name.

What to do after Unboxing?

Credit to Altered Phoenix @ Notebook Review

Hey guys, this topic has popped up a lot and, in my opinion, there is still a lot of info that can help people like me out. I was hoping we could get a huge list here and then someone re-types it in a single post and stickies it. (Since maybe 5 or so posts with a very similar name and identical purpose have surfaced in the past month). I will be going through the forums and trying to find what other people have said about these issues. I will also use quotes so credit is given where it is due. Pay attetnion for edits. In the first week or so that this is up, I should be updating the OP a lot. And if you guys have anything good to add I'll quote it in the OP.

I'm thinking of getting a new laptop in the near future and for some reason Sager seems to be a mysterious choice for me.

Is not OEM. is ODM. Original Design Manufacturer.

Clevo is a barebone builder or ODM. In a way to describe will be, they fix up most part of the mainboards and sell it to big brands to let them fix up their own laptops.
Clevo do build their own models and sell it.

Sager uses Clevo barebones.

owh I see... Thanks for noting that out.

Just a general question, when you guys look for a gaming laptop, what comes to mind as of most importance other than its GPU? Is it necessary to have like 8GB ram or 1TB hard disk?

4GB + GTX460m is good enough for normal gaming. Got extra funds, add SSD. If you want to avoid DDR3 ram going up, you can add 8GB or even 16gb in there. biggrin.gif

note: im on the assumption that if a lappy can game, it can do pretty much most demanding things (i could be terribly wrong tho).

This would be true to quite a extent. In the sense that 3D games require substantial amount of CPU and GPU processing power.

For processor, get at least a i7-2630QM which is a 2nd Generation Core Quad-Core processor aka Sandy Bridge. This is the lowest end of quad core offerings.

Next, if you are planning to use Windows 7 64-bit, try getting a 8GB ram which is 2x 4GB. This is the most value for money ratio now.

Next is GPU. Since Sager has a few different offerings,

AMD 6970M - most powerful and best value-to-performance ratio. (Which is the around the same performance as Nvidia flagship model 485M)
Nvidia 460M - next in-line for performance, not too ex and performance not too shaby. There may be a update to this model soon. Now is probably NDA.
Nvidia 555M - Latest offering for Nvidia Optimus Technology, really average performance though. I dun really understand why Alienware/Dell deems as powerful GPU.

HDD wise, get a 500GB 7200RPM for normal usage. SSD if u really have to money to spare.

If i am correct, clevo, sager, dreambook all uses aluminum brush exterior to dissipate heat compare to other brand tat uses plastic and feel very hot while running heavy application.

Woohoo, new thread!!

@Mikeshashimi
Actually, if possible, top up another RM 500 to RM 4000 to get the Sager NP8130. It comes with Geforce GTX 460m and dedicated fan for the GPU. To be frank, until now, you can't find any laptop with that price which comes with a dedicated GPU fan.

Of course if really really budget is a concern, around RM 3500, I would say try to get the Sager NP5165, it actually makes not much difference than a Dell XPS. Sager NP5165's fan is shared between the CPU and GPU, just like most of the laptop do. I won't say they are gaming laptop, because a real gaming laptop should have a dedicated fan for the GPU. And I did look into the Dell XPS interior design, there are 2 fans actually but the other one is a very very small fan which I don't think it helps a lot. Trust me, Sager NP8130 is the cheapest gaming laptop you can find. GTX 460m is better than GT 555m.

Sager NP8130 might not have a good exterior design but the interior is well designed. One thing that you should bear in mind that the beauty of Sager is that most of the laptop parts are easily accessible, even the fans also can be easily accessed, which means you can clean the fans easily. You can hardly find any laptop that allows you to access the fans in the laptop easily. Not even Dell XPS can do that. :]

Not to consider the exterior of the laptop but if you compare the interior (hardware), I dare enough to say that Sager NP8130 can beat Alienware M15X-R2.

Sager NP8130 vs Alienware M15X-R2
Processor in NP8130 (i7-2630m) beats processor in M15X-R2 (i7-740m)
GPU in NP8130 (GTX 460m) beats GPU in M15X-R2 (AMD HD5850m)

Price of Sager NP8130 is around RM4000 +/-, price of Alienware M15X-R2 is close to RM6000.

Woohoo, new thread!!

@Mikeshashimi
Actually, if possible, top up another RM 500 to RM 4000 to get the Sager NP8130. It comes with Geforce GTX 460m and dedicated fan for the GPU. To be frank, until now, you can't find any laptop with that price which comes with a dedicated GPU fan.

Of course if really really budget is a concern, around RM 3500, I would say try to get the Sager NP5165, it actually makes not much difference than a Dell XPS. Sager NP5165's fan is shared between the CPU and GPU, just like most of the laptop do. I won't say they are gaming laptop, because a real gaming laptop should have a dedicated fan for the GPU. And I did look into the Dell XPS interior design, there are 2 fans actually but the other one is a very very small fan which I don't think it helps a lot. Trust me, Sager NP8130 is the cheapest gaming laptop you can find. GTX 460m is better than GT 555m.

Sager NP8130 might not have a good exterior design but the interior is well designed. One thing that you should bear in mind that the beauty of Sager is that most of the laptop parts are easily accessible, even the fans also can be easily accessed, which means you can clean the fans easily. You can hardly find any laptop that allows you to access the fans in the laptop easily. Not even Dell XPS can do that. :]

Not to consider the exterior of the laptop but if you compare the interior (hardware), I dare enough to say that Sager NP8130 can beat Alienware M15X-R2.

Sager NP8130 vs Alienware M15X-R2
Processor in NP8130 (i7-2630m) beats processor in M15X-R2 (i7-740m)
GPU in NP8130 (GTX 460m) beats GPU in M15X-R2 (AMD HD5850m)

Price of Sager NP8130 is around RM4000 +/-, price of Alienware M15X-R2 is close to RM6000.

Hmm..It gives me an idea actually. Need someone to design and print 3D ROCCAT sticker. biggrin.gif

Well, what to do? Have to use it just in case need extra cooling. biggrin.gif

Any fan table while tilt your laptop up should do the job. tongue.gif

There's not much space on the side of NP7280, so have to use the front or back side

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... .

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 biggrin.gif ! 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 ! biggrin.gif 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.

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 smile.gif 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 ! biggrin.gif

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

eh the carbon fibre not ugly le. There are currently 3 types of carbon fibre, the one tat kahye use is second gen carbon fibre, there is a new type which look 80% like real carbon fibre and it gonna be awesome to stick it. Also, imagine the back of the Screen, we can cut out the "Sager" word then paste it. Cool right? lol

The witcher 2 fun ah? My target is only crysis 2 and deus ex and duke nukem, i am not tat much into single player gaming, i prefer mmorpg like blade and soul with max settings biggrin.gif

the first gen is the damn ugly one tat u see on the first link. The second gen is the one with 3D texture which u can feel but it does not look like a real carbon fiber.

The 3rd gen is the second pic on the first link which really look like a real carbon fibre with glossy surface.

If u bought those cheap carbon fibre which uses bad glue, then ur lappy will have glue on it after u peel it out. Try choose either Dinoc or 3M biggrin.gif

w00t. loving the latest whql GC driver.

quoting from NBR forum : Seems that since 270.61 Clevo cards are automatically detected.

So no more hassle installing GC driver.

not only that, 3d vision is auto installed as well. So now only need an external display monitor with 120Hz, and also the 3D glasses smile.gif

Added on May 22, 2011, 2:20 pmnow everyone is into carbonfiber as well.

bought mine through this link.

they send to you using Skynet.

bought 3x1, but got some extra enough for 1 more (i only stick at the palmrest section, din bother sticking extra at the back of laptop screen)

if u want to stick on back of laptop as well, i suggest going for 3x1. never wrong to have some extra of the sticker at the end of the day, better to have extra rather than cursing yourself in the end for not buying enough smile.gif

kahye, it is quite easy one, if u scare u have lousy skill, then prepare some soap water, use a wet cloth soak with soap water, wipe on ur notebook surface then stick it. so that u can move around the sticker and do some adjustment. beware though, dun wet ur cloth too much ah

NP8130: 3.1kg with battery pack. It is considered quite lightweight already. But the adapter is like a brick.

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

Size of harddisk doesn't affect the speed. Using SSD Hard disk will definitely boost the speed but it is still expensive at this stage if you are considering getting at least 500gb. If budget is a concern, stick to the normal 500gb 7200rpm.

I'm using two 500gb 7200rpm harddisk on my NP8170-S1, so far no problem.

yeah, i need to install, do troubleshooting, make sure everything is flawless. Then i need to check the temp on every core, if possible, change a better thermal paste and recheck the temp till i manage to get the best temp. Also, i need to adjust my fan on my U3 cooler pad. After all the software install, testing, blablabla, then i need to backup the C drive into a big image file. After that, i need to install back all the games i purchase through steams then try the games at max setting and see whether is there any prob. Then then, still got a whole list of things to do D: Oh ya, i forgot, need to pimp my lappy.

Finally, my RMA NP8150-S1 is fully repaired and ready to be shipped back to MUCRO...
Issue was with the GPU, they changed it to a new one...

Now, I only have to wait for it to arrive MUCRO, and then send it back to me...

How is 6970M owner doing in here? How's the temp and performance?

u purchased you laptop with standard thermal or diamon or any other option that resellers are offering? becuz generally people who purchased with Diamond thermal they didnt have any temp problem, check your temps and post here, shouldt be very high, unless you core i7 960 will produce much heat mabey, not sure, cuz basically 990x and 970 have lower heats due to being 32nm....

Have been so busy with work nowadays. I have some questions!
How often do you guys clean your fans? My previous dell, I have not cleaned it even once in 5 years, and its noisy as hell. Now after approx 1~1.5 months, my temperatures are slightly higher by 2~3 degrees.

Ic... so, most 6970M hover around 60-80 then...

Have u test furmark yet, to see whats the highest it can get?

Anyone OC their 6970M? heard that it can OC to 20% easily without much heat increased?

I will prefer not to OC an notebook component as the parts are not readily available. The performance gain from the OC is not as significant as increasing the risk of damaging the GPU and shortening its lifetime.

OC performance wise I think NBR has some threads on it.

y u didnt get the IC thermal, its very good lahh, usualy people will change their thermal once they need to upgrade their GPU and change the old heatsink....btw later on if u got time post some temps, i will post here once i got my lappy also .... BTW what programs they

i've tested future mark with m17x - 2820qm and 6970m , the temp max i recorded were 77, not more, basically till up2u 80 is fine more than that its something wrong with temps and and lappy
yep u can overclock it , but u will need to cycle fans also, or on np7280 keep the fans at high whole the time, yeah i saw in notebookreview the temps was changed only 5-6 degree loool no sure anyway, i will try myself to overlcok 970 and both 6970Ms

QUOTE(Keenxlimit @ May 24 2011, 08:06 PM)
Have been so busy with work nowadays. I have some questions!
How often do you guys clean your fans? My previous dell, I have not cleaned it even once in 5 years, and its noisy as hell. Now after approx 1~1.5 months, my temperatures are slightly higher by 2~3 degrees.
*
u can clean it with air or open and clean, generally its no problem ! me , too i ever cleaned my m15x only once after 2 years...nothing happen, but u can clean the fans easily per a month

I'm not sure if we can find 2.5" optical drive external enclosure, the 3.5" one is easy since it is swappable with either HDD or ODD.

maybe the only way to do it is by using a SATA-to-USB cable which usually cost around RM10-20

Hmm..., i don't quite get it why you play games, CPU temp is high instead of the GPU. And for NP5160 and NP5165, the CPU and GPU are sharing the same heatsink and same fan, so if GPU is hot, CPU will feel the same too.

I normally recommend gamers to get at least a NP8130 which separates the heatsink and fans for CPU and GPU. CPU has its own heatsink and fan while GPU has its own heatsink and fan too.

Sorry for misleading, it is 95% color gamut. And there are two different types, 1 is 95% color gamut in matte , the other 1 is 95% color gamut in glare.
The warranty is covered by Sager official.

Just got an email from XoticPC, not a good news:

--------------------

Sweeann –

Thanks again for being patient!

I wanted to drop you an email to give you a quick update on your order. We did receive a shipment of upgraded screens that we had been waiting for, but not all of them are the AUO V4 screen as we had ordered. We are not going to have enough screens to fill all of our orders so we are contacting you to give you a few options. First off, we can get you the stock screen (which is glossy) and refund you the price you had paid for the upgrade. The 2nd option would be to go with the V1 display, which has a 60% color gamut (brightness and contrast are listed the same as on the V4) but it is still a matte display. If you are willing to go this route, we will credit back $100 on the screen upgrade and we can get you a free 30 day no-dead pixel policy as well, to ensure it has not dead pixels. If you decide not to switch, I cannot guarantee we will be able to get you the 95% gamut screen based on the number we received. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

--------------------

Anyone has any info on this :
- V1 Display, which has a 60% color gamut (brightness and contrast are listed the same as on the V4) but it is still a matte display?

try to get one from laptop accessories reseller. then try changing it yourself? I believe the manual might give a hint on how to do, else try at NBR (saw some threads on changing the screen manually). I'm waiting till I get to the States in the coming months and buy from there instead. might be cheaper from here smile.gif

Use stock also no prob. Still got maxed out 4Mbps TMNet speed. The only problem is that I need to manually set the bluetooth adapter everytime I booted the laptop (since I'm using bluetooth wireless mouse)

@Prince J

Well, I already reply to XoticPC that I insist on my 95% gamut screen based on my order.

I chose XoticPC because of its reputation, but another main reason was that they are are offering this 95% gamut screen, if I were to accept anything less, I would have just ordered it from you or our Singapore reseller in the first place, which is so near to me and I will not have to worry much about the warranty.

and their reply ....

-----------------------------

Sweeann –

Thanks for the quick response. I will add you to the list of the 95% panels. If we run into a situation where we will not have enough panels and there is going to be a delay I will let you know from there. I will keep you posted as this develops.

Mine comes with the stock screen, didn't customize a lot except for the CPU and GPU upgrades, that's why it is faster.

Hmm..., I guess a lot of resellers should be running short on the 95% LCD panel.

if I'm correct

vsync - vertical sync. just to avoid screen tearing by sync the graphic card refresh rate (or i think more familiar to game apps) to screen monitor. So your FPS would be limited to whatever your monitor refresh rate is.

carbonytte is right.. If vsync ON, FRAPS will display 60fps fixed throughout the game. Turn it OFF, FRAPS will display the correct fps, but you will experience a screen tearing. smile.gif

u turn on got screen tearing? that's weird haha.

screen tearing happens because of overlapping frames which happens because graphic card is producing more frame at the frame buffer. hence the overlapping, and you see the display like half distort a bit (usually the upper half and lower half not same).

19.6 is much better compared to Metro 2033, 8 fps lag sudey. I think Witcher 2 also like 8-10 fps on ultra setting (I din turn on FRAPS but there was serious lagging issue at the maximum graphic settings).

I think I know what's the problem you are heading, please make sure you install the GT540m driver properly, the autoswitching maybe is not working, so you are actually using your cpu which is i7 2630qm to play games. That's why the temperature goes up a lot.

I have another buyer faced the same problem, but it is solved already. There is a button around keyboard to switch to dedicated graphic card, make sure you switch on when you are playing game.

Hope it will help.


Thank you.

Average 56++ fps with vsync off and fan at full speed.

before you apply the sticker, make sure you use a3 paper, sketch the measurement and then cuts the sticker. That's my way to apply the sticker. biggrin.gif

but the measurements for the HDMI and the other logo was quite hard to copy to. Maybe you need a trace paper as well.

I left a big hole at the HDMI and the other logo, only after applying the main sticker, I started putting additional sticker in between the logos, so a bit cacat sikit la. Only the Core-i7 I was able to trace successfully.

Well maybe it could also be because I was using 2x A4 paper haha

You can refer to carbonytte's thread. He bought it from LPC Digital.
I think LPC Digital has low shipping rate, and there is no import duty/tax for new laptop entering Malaysia.

Added on May 26, 2011, 4:27 pmIf I'm not wrong, currently NP8130 is on back-order due to lack of the following:
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M GPU with 1.5GB GDDR5 Video Memory - Back Order! (ETA: End of May, 2011)
- 15.6" Full HD LED-Backlit Display with Matte Finished Surface (1920 x 1080) - Back Order! (ETA: End of May, 2011)

From his selling thread, seems like he is looking for something more portable with longer battery life. Seems like he is not into gaming anymore.

pros and con bout alienware ah? basically there arent, most prolly cons due to because their always sell something which damn overprice and lousy. Alienware used to be a be selling a damn good notebook but after taken by dell, i am just disappointed with it. For asus wise, price is good, but there are many complains regarding the quality of the notebook.

I'm currently typing my review on my laptop lol. Not going to be a performance review but kind of a review on how I got the laptop and comparison to other laptops. I found out that many people failed to see Sager laptop as a better choice/cheaper option when comparing to Asus G series and the Alienware due to the lack of knowledge about Sager laptop. And most people failed to take a look at the interior laptop to understand how good the laptop can be and how easy to clean the laptop.

Not seeing any prob with crysis 2. fps is between 20-30. If challenged I would say anything that run below 10 fps, where you'll start seeing jerkings

I think I know what's the problem you are heading, please make sure you install the GT540m driver properly, the autoswitching maybe is not working, so you are actually using your cpu which is i7 2630qm to play games. That's why the temperature goes up a lot.

I have another buyer faced the same problem, but it is solved already. There is a button around keyboard to switch to dedicated graphic card, make sure you switch on when you are playing game.

Hope it will help.
Thank you.

They repaired it pretty quick... time mostly wasted on shipping...

It is almost 1 month since I send my laptop... half month is wasted because of shipping to Mucro using the Pos Parcel, damn slow!

Didn't even send the laptop to the KL service Partner... I troubleshoot it myself with the sager techsupport, then confirm need RMA...

Issue was with the GPU (6970M)...

Mucro said that they will reimburse the shipping fee from Malaysia to Singapore...
Then, they sent it to Sager US which took only couple of days to arrive via DHL...

Email both Sager and Mucro at the same time...
Sager confirmed that it is faulty and need to send back for RMA... so, skip the KL service partner...
So, I send back the Laptop to Mucro Singapore so that they can send it back to Sager US...

From there, I REGRET using the Pos Parcel mail... which took about half month to arrive to Singapore! total cost is RM39.50...
Should had use atleast the PosLaju International Delivery... which I think it cost about RM100~... WAY faster...

I don't think Mucro covers shipping fees from SG to US if you are talking about the warranty terms and conditions.
For Amal's case, he receives a faulty laptop, so they are willing to replace for him and cover everything, but after that within the warranty period, anything happens, all referred to the warranty terms and conditions.

For small problem:
Regional Carry-in (labour) for Mucro means you send it to Mucro and you bear the shipping cost. (If you are staying in Singapore, you carry your laptop to their office and they fix it for you)
SG Onsite means if you are in Singapore, they will go to your place and fix it for you. (This one is only useful for those staying in Singapore)

For big problem:
From SG/MY to U.S., you bear all the shipping cost.

NP7280 (renamed to NP7282) can add two GPU (Crossfire/SLi mode) and 3x primary 2.5" hard drive (normal or RAID mode). If still not enough, can get rid of optical drive and install hard drive on caddy case to be put on optical drive slot.

Just unscrew a couple of screws can access everything at the bottom smile.gif

LOL, all the while I thought NP7280/7282 has the same size as NP8170 which only comes with 2 HDD compartment. After checked in xoticpc website, it's true lol, NP7282 comes with 3 HDD compartments, switching the optical drive bay to HDD bay will give it a total of 4 HDD, really a monster!

I hope ricky is willing to show a detailed of laptop parts in his laptop's belly like how I did for my NP8170-S1 review. tongue.gif

By the way, ricky, isn't it 17.3" instead of 18.4"?

Oh. If you are in Singapore, there is another alternative.

In Sim Lim Square, one of the shop specializes in doing skins for laptops.

I think he charge $25 for Carbon Fiber sticker + stick-on service.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Play in 1360x768 instead, with that you can get 30-40fps with extreme setting.

yeah alienware m18x can be close to np7282, but u can get in any high price as m18x is really overprocied a higher performence with np7282, u can come up with a dual 6970m or gtx485m sli plus a low-cost six core processor like 970 or even 990x, it will be more powerful than a 2920xm ... but i am not sure still about the quality of m18x screen, i did have some issues before with alienware products but thats y i am switching to sager.

perhaps once they can back to that line of 18.4 inches, still some companies i gues like eurocome and origin pc are offering that option but its with mobility stuff

I heard carbonytte said it can be enabled in NP8130 and NP8150 by tweaking some settings...

Added on May 27, 2011, 6:59 pmBy the way, Optimus technology is not really that mature yet. Some people are having problems with it not being switching to the correct GPU. For instance, during gaming, it doesn't switch to the Nvidia GPU and instead causing CPU temp runs high...

Of course you can wait till Sager implements GTX 560M :]

I thought you just ordered Alienware M14X from Dell recently lol.

I would personally go for LPC-Digital or Powernotebooks as I found out that XoticPC is offering higher shipping cost.
If you are staying in KL, then I suggest you to deal with mucro since they have a service partner in KL.

Take note that mucro/cubehub singapore doesn't offer taking out the ram to make the unit cheaper since it's fixed policy.

If you worry about warranty and less knowledge in maintaining the laptop hardwares, go for mucro/cubehub.

Yup currently own an m14x though dad was using . Returning it.. There was some kinda fault according to my dad. It wouldn't start after a crash shutting it down the first time . Dell reps are sending a courier too pick it up by this week . If it goes smoothly will b able to pick up a sager instead. And I'm only occasionally in kl so lpc is the way to go?

On the hardware side, if you are going to get a AMD HD6970M GPU, then Sager NP8150-S1 is your best bet. If you are going to stick with Nvidia Geforce GTX 460M, then Sager NP8130 is good enough.

I would say try to get a few quotations on shipping cost before making payments. For example, you can go to xoticpc, LPC-digital, Powernotebooks and customize your laptop according to your likes, then checkout the order and wait for them to quote you the shipping cost and total amount that you need pay. Then you will have a few to compare with before making your decision.

If you want to install your own harddisk and RAM, you can order from RJTech as they allow complete customization, you can choose which part to include in your laptop purchase.

For shipping case, USPS Express Mail International is the cheapest option, UPS is kinda expensive. Most of us ordered from U.S. chose USPS Express Mail International, tracking number will be provided by the reseller once your laptop has been shipped.

But, one thing for sure you need to be awared of is the warranty terms and conditions which most of the time if anything happens to your laptop within the warranty period, you need to send the laptop back to the reseller for RMA and you bear the shipping cost. If the fault is due to something small like harddisk, RAM or whatsoever is small, then you only need to ship the faulty part back to them which cut down your shipping cost a lot. Of course for the first time if you receive the laptop in a faulty condition, I'm sure they will cover the shipping cost and replace a new one for you.

NP8130, N8150 have fixed one hard drive and one GPU, only NP8150 can change it's GPU to higher model (eg. GTX460m to GTX485m)

If need to add extra hard drive, you have to sacrifice your optical drive. Buy caddy case, put new hard drive on it and slot into the optical drive slot.

I order from RJTECH. com and it takes less than two weeks (process - 1 week, shipping to malaysia - less than 7 days), using USPS Express Mail International which will be handled by Poslaju once entering Malaysia.

You can use DHL or Poslaju EMS if want to send the laptop parts for RMA.

I don't think USPS is a wise choice. If you wanna do air express courier from US, always go for UPS or DHL, even Fedex.
USPS does not have proper tracking system.
After parcel arrived Malaysia
USPS will pass the parcel to poslaju at malaysia custom, and your USPS tracking ended.
My experience 3 years before, pos laju didn't provide tracking number for USPS parcel. (It is trackable via Express International Mail) And when they send the parcel over my house, I was not around, and they just dropped the parcel on the top of my gate, can you imagine how dangerous it is? According to USPS thread, there are lot of buyer goods missing, luckily mine is arrived safely.

Always go for proper international shipping company, the additional money is definitely worth than the risk taking. Choosing a good shipper is better than you take insurance on courier services, since courier insurance only covers for Goods Missing.

I have to correct you on that part.

You still can track the package in poslaju tracking website using USPS tracking number.

there are many types of USPS service. Ebay seller usually use standard USPS First-Mail International (insured or uninsured) without tracking number. Probably your seller 3 years ago use these type of USPS service smile.gif

my friend is doing the benchies for the tx-4 and IC diamond. Will decide which to go when the review is out. He is trying IC diamond now and the result seems promising. He will receive the tx-4 on either tomolo or the day after. Lets see how it goes. Also, since IC diamond is made of diamond, there are tendency that it gonna scratch the surface of our heat sink fan.

yeah Arctic Silver Thermal is not worth at all, but its much cheaper offered by companies, well i searched in net before, so far IC diamond is quiet better than Arctic Silver and as well TX-4 Thermals, lower heat....its better, i choose diamond as well for my np7282 since i am using 6 core processor and dual GPU, i coudnt take risk and choose a normal compuond...im not gaming alwyas, sometimes using Xilisoft and adobe softweres, they all using all the six cores, if its not a good thermal they really will fry your heatsink nicely

ic diamond is more effective than mx2 around 3 C when loaded. AS5 cant even compete with mx2.

true...becuz before i used to have arctic silver, then i paste the ic diamond and find it its really better, even though its offered expensive but its a important necessetiy for powerful laptops.

btw i think 970 was a good choice for gaming, the results are very close to a 980 or 990x due to being a same architecture of cpu, good is its a 32nm cpu...produce less heat and better WATT draining !

i just bought 2 meter carbon fibre from some guy at singapore forum. Well, i choose USA product rather than 3M because i wanna try wat is the different between 3M sticker compare to other manufacturer. Well, this carbon fibre tat i bought is made in USA, it is label as "bubble-less carbon fibre sticker" by the seller. It is damn thin, and i never think it would be this thin. It is so thin that if i stick wrong and i wanna restick it, it just tear off, i need to pull it out slowly and gently and restick. 3M is alot more thicker. There is a pros and cons between these 2 sticker though, well, if u want more protection, i am sure 3M is the best brand ever. But, if u wanna stick something which got curve edges, 3M gonna give u the creeps. This USA carbon fibre sticker, u can just stretch it and curve it without the use of hair dryer. And also, thick sticker can actually insulate ur notebook and prevent the heat to release out from ur lappy. Thin sticker actually better in term of releasing heat compare to thick sticker. Patern wise, both look 99% identical. But the glue residue after removing the sticker, well, the seller told me not to worry bout it as it can be remove easily. Below is my newly pimped palm rest. Enjoice~

lol, at first i feel like cutting away the fingerprint area, but then it is a huge risk as i might cut and scratch by touch pad, and also i am not using any finger print system, might as well just stick it away. Also, i cut away both side of the sticker at the left and right with the power button as i just realise that those small holes are actually vents for the hot air to come out. After i stick the carbon fibre to block it, that area feels hot. Tonight i will update the picture again.

Yup. Not upgrade. A refresh in model.

Means all new productions should come with 560M instead of 460M already.

I think what he means is that it is not worth to upgrade the GPU only to enjoy the optimus technology as it doesn't provide significant improvement in gaming performance.

He doesn't refer the product of GTX 460M being upgraded to GTX 560M as obviously GTX 560M is a new product.

However, it's a way to make NP8130 to be more competitive as a better choice for gaming since these days I see lots of people in the forum are requesting for better battery life and prefer to go for the optimus technology.

With RM 4k+, would you go for an Alienware M14X with single fan that comes with a GT 555M built into the motherboard? Or a laptop with dual fans that comes with a GTX 560M. I believe you know the answer.

So, how much difference is the GTX 560M compared to a GTX 460M?
Based on the benchmark result provided by NVIDIA, it is quite impressive.

Is it?

the difference are sometimes better, and sometimes worse compared to 460M at notebookcheck.net

however note that 560M is still not uploaded there, so I'm doing apple 2 apple comparison using certain games based on Amal's pic and notebookcheck.net result

(Note: 460M vs 560M)
Crysis 2 (High Preset):
53 vs 46.7

Mafia 2 (High Preset):
54 vs 40.6

Metro 2033 (High Preset):
29 vs 37.2

Great Singapore Sales is a more explicit Singapore-Wide sales period.

Bigger brands around all shopping areas tends to give better discounts as compared to normal times. The sales/discounted range is also marginally bigger.

A tweet from an NVIDIA staff :

PellyNV Sean Pelletier
Alienware M17x with GeForce GTX 560M + Optimus saw 5hrs and 11min of battery life on the bench last week. Insane for a gaming notebook!


But from what I heard is that the NP8130 wont be implementing the Optimus... hmm.gif

Hi all,

Anyone knows the display currently being offered by Sager:

15.6" FHD 16:9 "Matte Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Screen w/ 95% NTSC Color Gamut (1920x1080) (New Sager Option) ( + 45 )

Is it the same screen as the one offered by XoticPC and other reseller?

Btw there is a 50 percent discount from all retailers fr the 95% gamut screen.
reason being that they are clearing old stocks which might have defects of dead pixels.

Hi Bretts,

Its me again .. tongue.gif

Wanna check with you, the display that I ordered:

15.6" FHD 16:9 "Matte Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Screen w/ 95% NTSC Color Gamut (1920x1080) (+ USD190) (Add's 4-7 business days to build time)

and the one currently being offered in by Sager:

15.6" FHD 16:9 "Matte Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Screen w/ 95% NTSC Color Gamut (1920x1080) (New Sager Option) ( + USD45 )

Is it the same screen?
-----------------------

and their reply

-----------------------
At this point, we do not know if that will be the same screen offered by Sager or if that will be just a comparable model. They are still estimating that they will not be in stock at Sager for another few weeks, so we will not know until at least then.

They gave me a similar response when I ordered the 95% NTSC Color Gamut screen. I either wait for(god knows how long) them to have stock or change to regular screen. Well that screen is not a must for me. It won't make the PC unusable.

Dual GTX560m is offered for np7282 at sager website also, seems gtx560m sli would be better than a single gtx 485m compare to before, as u know gtx460m sli performance was same as a single gtx485m. now i guess gtx560m is really better choice .

@tjinn
Haha, I know LPC-Digital's shipping cost is lower than XoticPC a lot (by RM), that's why I recommend either RJTech or LPC-Digital. For laptop excluding harddisk and RAM, go for RJTech. For whole laptop, go for LPC-Digital. I'm not sure about Powernotebooks, never dealt with them before but they have a variety of laptop backpack to choose from.

I guess you ordered Sager NP8150-S1 that comes with AMD HD6970M. Quite decent, around RM6k.

i thinking for purchase 8130, 8150 or 8170, still cannot decide. hard disk 500G enough for gaming? i got approximate 6-12 game but seldom play...hai~~~
GaaraOfTheDesert had purchased 8130 from cubeHub at rm4k which i pm him to understand more, and i keep asking more question to all people to make clear myself. have email LPC also and xoticpc also try to look for the cheapest. i know still depend on budget. maybe in these 2-3wks to decide lor still need more input (include how to purchase).

edit: actually call LPC is because i got colleage will move from houston to MY so i thinking of save the transport fee, but LPC still quote high for 2-3 days delivery to houston about usd 130++, then i ask them direct to MY will be usd 165.

Haha, assume on average, one game takes up 10g. With 12 games, 120g. I give you max up to 200g

If still not enough for your movies, suggest to buy a 1TB external harddisk.

Hey guys, have a read at this article.

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110601VL204.html

Explains a lot what Clevo will release this year and next year, and what they have planned for us!

Highlights:

- 3D Versions of laptops (duh we know that)
- Refresh of the Clevo x7200 with desktop SandyBridge processors
- New chassis designs; special artwork for newly released Clevo machines. Keyboard and covers applicable, with interchangeable bezels.
- Special colours, i.e. Silver! biggrin.gif
- ARM support
- New netbook to be released later this year!
- Thunderbolt support with external graphics card choices like the upgradable GPUs in these laptops already!

You can buy aftermarket ram, hard drive and external dvd drive at garage sales which is cheaper compared to the one that reseller offers. smile.gif

I bought ram and hard drive locally which saves me almost USD 100 biggrin.gif

but now rjtech still giving GPU GTX460m as others is GTX560m. previous few days still counting looking in the rjtech but now cubehub and mucro.
only 8150 and above can change GPU in future upgrade right? 8130 cannot because power supply is low.

edit: opss sorry now check rjtech is change GPU gtx560m

better get an external for that.
ssd decreases boot time and also loading times quite significantly.
once u used an ssd, you'll never look back.

Any diff between 6970m sli and gtx 485m sli?the price diff is about 1k++

just to say,, GTX485m SLI is a really overpriced card (specially if u going for SLI!) well it has features of supporting 3D and so on but its useless in x7200 since its not supported, truly i can say in my own opinion GTX485m SLI has better Drivers with less issues than GTX485m SLI but CrossFire Links is scaling better than SLI..., well u can c the benchmarks, somehow crossfire results are close or better than GTX485m SLI - in some games like Crysis 2 and crysis 1 and metro 2033 or starcraft and so on.....somehow in some frame rate value is less or more a bit only, not that much... . if u got the money u can go for it, personally i decided to spent that almost 350 dollar on 970...becuz of being 32nm and 6 core

If you do some research, Sager had reduced individual gtx485m price significantly. Around RM310 difference from April to May. But the dual gtx485m was only reduced by around RM150, when it was suppose to be reduced RM620 (dual gpu). Therefore can conclude that Sager already offers discount for dual gpu model.

By the way, I agree with you that 6970m is the best value card currently.

Hello, can check with those who are intending to import their Sagers from overseas resellers, how are the import fees and taxes in M'sia like? I live in SG but I may be able to use my gf's address since she stays in M'sia.

Tried to import a Sony Vaio Z once, 7% GST was a nightmare and my laptop battery latch was broken somewhere during transit. Could not recover the import fees even though I refunded the laptop. So I'm a little apprehensive about ordering the 8150 S1 from overseas but the Sager resellers in SG do not seem to have very reliable customer service as well.

Actually what amduser is right; better spend the money on something that's harder to obtain (the GPU) rather than an SSD.

Although I strongly suggest a SSD as well but laptop specific upgrades are the top of the list I think.

The cost diff between ssd n laptop gpus are quite big though. If u hv enuff money fr a ssd. U dnt neccessary hv the money fr a gpu. Bt of course like u said. Gpu upgrades are important. But if u hv a decent gpu tht still cn run most modern games. I'll say ssd first. Bt thats just my opinion. smile.gif

I'm also working in Singapore, I made the payment at DBS and have the laptop delivered to my hometown (Malaysia) just to rid that GST 7% off. Seriously, the 7% GST is more than enough to cover your return ticket to KL from Singapore. Just make sure when you enter Singapore, don't bring the box of laptop in, have your laptop carried using a sling bag or backpack, that will do.

Besides the GST 7%, if you are doing a telegraphic transfer (wired transfer) at any bank in Singapore to make payment to the reseller, the handling commission fee and cable charges are in SGD, I paid SGD 30 for handling commission fee, cable charges and USD 9 for agent bank charge. In Malaysia, the handling commission fee and cable charges are counted in MYR (i.e. MYR 30), agent bank charge remains the same.

Lastly, Malaysia Custom does not impose import duty/tax or sales tax on laptop/PC imported into Malaysia.

Just received my NP8170-S1 about a month ago. :]

You need to have someone to check the laptop for you to see if everything is working in order upon receiving it. smile.gif

My wife lor ... so means have to open up and test before signing the receipt?

But my notebook will come without OS ... so can only do some very basic checking only upon receiving.

What else should/can my wife check ar?

Power (To test Power Brick and power supply to the notebook)
Screen (just to see it is working ... dun think I can test any dead pixel as at now without the OS)
BIOS (check the correct specs received, i.e. CPU, graphic card, total memory size and number of sockets used, HDD space, BluRay Drive existence, any more?)
Keyboard (how to test ar without the OS? I guess only can test the arrow keys to move around in BIOS)
All the buttons on notebook

Dun think my wife can test the following until the OS is installed:

DVI output
HDMI output
USB 2.0/3.0 ports
e-SATA combo port
Firewire ports
Built-in Video Cam
Built-in Speaker
Built-in SubWoofer
Built-in Microphone
Microphone Jack
Headphone Jack
Line-in Jack
S/PDIF output Jack
Network Port
Wireless Connectivity
Bluetooth Connectivity
Touch Pad
Card Reader
Temperature Check

All you need is to check any tear (cellotape tear) on the package. If there's no tear, just sign the receipt smile.gif

After that, open the package and inspect everything as stated in the invoice.

You said your laptop was stuck in Kastam on 24 May, and now the screen is dead either because of the LCD or GPU shocking.gif

Hmm..., you are the 2nd person who received a defective laptop from Mucro hmm.gif

Added on June 2, 2011, 11:53 amSimple testing you can do if you have an external monitor that can be connected to the DVI port at the back of the laptop and press the FN + ?? key (Sorry, laptop not with me right now so I can't say which key) then check whether anything shown on the external monitor screen. If it shows something, means either the LCD is dead or the ribbon is loose.

Mucro doesn't produce GPU & LCD. Moreover, it was dead after a week.
I don't see it has got anything with Mucro.
It could be bad of luck. Or Clevo needs to have tighter quality control of her hardwares.

Anyway, it's rather random.
Amal had a defective AMD GPU.
malice203 should have an nVidia GPU (8130).
I guess it is all LUCK.

Yeah, agree with you.
Since we both use different GPU, means both of us are just UNLUCKY... sweat.gif

Hopefully it has nothing to do with Sager quality control... shakehead.gif

Yeah i guess its all luck...i google if someone else got a defective screen...none doh.gif

Tested already with external monitor still nothing.

It was being unstable since yesterday morning....had to restart a few times then i was fine....but after lunch when i left it to hibernate, the screen went

blank and even after restarting all i can hear is the windows sound but no pictures would come out.

What a nightmare SAGER experience for me cry.gif

With your budget, you can get a system with Win7 OS pre-installed.
As for the resellers, you can study the price and make comparison yourself.
