Hi,

I ran some tests on your machine overnight and they have brought up a number of RAM errors, I have replaced the RAM and am in the process of running more tests to make sure that has fixed the problem. We should be able to ship this back to you tomorrow.

I will keep you updated.

Kind Regards,
Logical Blue One

congrats with your purchase.

I believe mSATA placed on the wireless card slot. Kindly contact Horize for confirmation.

did u send back from malaysia to australia? if so, how much it cost you?

1. mine using more than 1 year, no overheating problem and operates like normal.
2. This one quite varies. I think it's around 95'C for both, or the laptop suddenly shuts down due to overheating.

same with soundsyst64, no overheating problem. probably you need to clean the dust trapped in the laptop (trapped in the fans).

so hows the screen and the performance?

p151em1 was my first choice but being poisoned from 670m to 675 and now 7970m

how much total? this is awesome you should post more about the temp when full load, noise and how does the keyboard feel

80-85'c in heavy games (crysis, BF3) is quite normal. I play BF3 in GTX460M, reaching constant 81'C in non-aircond room
It will drop to 44-46'C in idle (without games running)
If you want to hear the exact fan noise, press Fn + 1. It'll turn your laptop fan to full blast.

is it just me or the display color look a bit washed out?

anyway, your laptop is just beside the sink?

gtx670m is using older technology so i guess the temp is quite normal?

i see. first time i see such room in australia lol..

still don't know when my laptop will be ready and my SSD stuck with UPS with no updates since last saturday.grrr

Added on June 12, 2012, 11:52 amalso, is there any performance ram for laptop?
worth to get it?

You can check the mSATA in xoticpc NP9150 video, starting from 30:52.

better stick with SSD rather than take performance RAM.
take note that the only component that bottleneck the computer is standard HDD.

U put 32GB Performance ram but still use standard HDD, it won't improve much.

I am so much attracted to this NP9150. The backlit keyboard allows me to work in the night with all the lights off. The three USB 3.0 ports (including the one combo with E-SATA) are good enough because the other USB 2.0 port is just for the use of mouse, so no biggy.

The Ivy Bridge (3rd gen i7 processor) and ATI RADEON 7970M are big plus.
Other than that, actually, the optical drive is kinda useless considered how often we use it, replacing it with a 2nd HDD or SSD would be good.
Anyway, the external thin optical drive is only USD 19. The only time we would use a DVD drive is to install windows and drivers or other software. Maybe everything can be done using an external hard drive too.

fair enough. the retailer just received 7970m stock and building it. unfortunately cant make it by this week :/

@skeith - there's a reason why I didn't bought HDD and RAM directly from the seller. One of the reason; faulty RAM module which I have to send back to the seller for replacement. So, I bought those 2 hardwares at local shop and if got problem, can claim warranty quickly

i bought it from the same reseller(LBO) as i currently in melbourne.

they provide best service to me and price match with other store(Affordable Laptop). too bad i only go for 1 year warranty as my stay in australia is uncertainty :/
as above,im working in australia and the price from resellers are reasonable compare to US.

Hi,

Okay a few notes.

We no longer price match Metabox notebooks as there are some important differences that you should be made aware of.

1.      They are grey imports. Ours are from Horize and are a genuine builder of Clevo machines. If the other company goes out of business you will have no Clevo backed warranty.

2.      They use different components, we only use Seagate platter drives and Micron based memory.

3.      Ours comes with (as standard) the 95% gamut glossy display. Unless you plan to use this outdoors why not choose this one? It is even better than the matte display, and will save you the $59!

4.      We have zero surcharges for credit card or PayPal

5.      Did you know we are a full system builder and we do all the repairs as well. This means we don’t palm you off to someone else when you need to have repairs done or any technical advice. We are always here to help.


I hope you to choose to go with us as we always strive for customer service from day 1 to past your warranty expiry. Always here to help you.

Regards,

Jack Bovill

when did you receive that?

they price matched me on last week ($117 off) and i think they did that 1 last time just for me. if they never price match then i would have went to AL.

SSD will be delivered thsi friday but too bad im not at home
grrr

Why you have water sink beside your computer table? 

Theoretically NP9130 is lowly powered due to the limitation of the power adapter.
I think you need a bigger power brick (power adapter) for more power to power up stronger graphics card.
As far as the chipset, I think NP9130 and NP9150 are the same --> Intel HM76

you can build 1 desktop with that money lol

Added on June 14, 2012, 9:00 amfark. the delivery for my SSD was delayed. UPS sucks!

The scheduled connection was missed.

online shopping is killing me lol.

anyway, i had bad experience with UPS before(item was lost in truck ) and now the item postponed.FML

i rather to see SSD on my desk first before the laptop lol

Well, DHL and FedEX also ban LI-ON batteries, we do pay certain fee for inspection and approval that's why we still can ship DHL.

By the way, this is last year case.

the table..hmmm

are you using stock wireless? how was it?

nah just joking. i mean are you using stock wireless card?
