hi guys, i have a question for the fellow hardcore gamers. 1) can sager laptops sustain 6-10hours of gaming daily? how will the heat be like? 2) other than xoticpc and mucroasia, where else can i get my hands on a sager laptop? thanks and have a nice day.
Added on June 7, 2012, 7:32 ami finally place my order for p150em.
i7 3610, 7970m, 95% Gamut glossy display, 8Gb ram, 500gb HDD and other normal stuff.total cost me AUD$1811
can't believe i spent so much money in laptop
like what soundsyst64 said, the matte doesnt have the mirror effect. However, if you're a design student or some sort who may use a lot of graphical works with colours and stuff. Best to get a glossy screen.
But either way, if you're going to save some cost by getting the glossy screen. No worries, you'll do just fine.
how about SSD? should I get lower capacity(120GB) for SSD and another normal HDD in optical drive bay?
I don't think 120Gb is enough to install some games but is there any noticeable performance in gaming? Or I can install game into normal HDD?
They always say SSDs are worth investing in Significantly faster boot time compared to a HDD. Gaming wise, I dont think it'll help much. Maybe for loading time? But if you want to get higher FPS, then invest in better gpu. But i see that you already have the amd 7970, now that's a pretty sweet card Personally, if you have the budget then go for the bigger capacity SSDs. But like me, I only want to put my OS and maybe a few 3D programs. So i guess 120gb is perfect for me.
should i ditch the dvd rom and put normal HDD drive as 2nd HDD?im not sure whether i need the dvd rom or not i already set the budget for the laptop but then i realised the SSD speed is just drooled me so is kinda tempting for me higher capacity = higher money
looks like i don really need to put games into ssd.
i have external 320GB HDD lying around but i can hear the "ngek ngek" sound from it. not sure it's the external casing problem or hdd itself. else i can use that hdd as 2nd hdd
I honestly cant answer that for you if you don't need it, then you ditch it but yeah, basically higher capacity you'll need more money for that. Or maybe you can just get another external HDD? I think they're selling 500gb or 1tb HDD pretty cheap now. Just a suggestions.
i just bought wd 1tb passport last month though i rarely use that external HDD and that could be the reason it starts to die. i will try to format it and see how it goes.
i store lot of musics and pictures into hdd and external hdd kinda troublesome for that. also,i will run VM too
i will need to think carefully on what i need, again...
decision is killing me
decision decision
i'm currently deciding which to get, between alienware, sager or stick with my asus G55 that i ordered since may 1st and still no news about it. Anyway, hope you make a good decision
that's gonna be one hell of card but that source from NVIDIA right? not tested by any 3rd party reviewer or anything yet. But still, good move from NVIDIA this time. Cept for the price tag

my guess is only 5-10% better than 7970m. i just hope amd able to provide better driver like nvidia
there's a thread discussing about this in NBR. Expected performance of the 680 could be around 15-20% over the 7970 however, the drivers for 7970 havent mature yet havent they?

I admire your will. 
but good card nonetheless. You'll never go wrong with a 7970
