As of September 4th, New Sandy Bridge CPU’s are officially Released!

Before… i7-2920XM….Now i7-2960XM Extreme
Before… i7-2820QM….Now i7-2860QM
Before… i7-2720QM….Now i7-2760QM
For Sager, i7-2630QM remains for now, no change.

The new i7-2640M, i7-2660QM, i7-2860QM and i7-2960XM processors are made using the 32nm technological process.

Intel Core i7-2760QM has 4 cores, 2,4 GHZ frequency. It benefits from 6 MB L3 Cache, 45W TDP and supports DDR3 RAM memory at 1,600 MHZ.
Intel Core i7-2860QM is also a quad core, with a 2.5 – 3.6 GHZ frequency in Turbo mode and 8 MB L3 Cache. Finally, the Intel Core i7-2960XM is the most powerful and it is part of the Extreme Edition family.
Core i7-2960XM Extreme quad-core microprocessor runs at 2.7 GHz, or 200 MHz higher than the i7-2920XM. The CPU has unlocked clock multiplier, 3.7 GHz Turbo frequency, 8 MB L3 cache, and it fits 55 Watt thermal envelope.

Prices are remained the same as previous SB CPU.

Whats the purpose of the laptop?
if gaming, and u wanna upgrade in the future, why dun get Sager from illegear.com ?

Exactly smile.gif
Both NP8130 and NP8150 are upgradable as long as the upgrade mobile GPU is MXM type.

For NP8130, you will need a 180W power adapter to support higher grade GPU like 6990M and GTX580M. You can get the 180W adapter from us directly.

For NP8150, you only need to buy new GPU because the default power supply is 180W.

All GPUs are coming along with heat sink, free installation (including BIOS flash) and free IC Diamond thermal apply + stress testing. (1 working day)

Ya, also why not M17x?  laugh.gif

Added on September 5, 2011, 7:48 am

Yeah, the M14x fan is very loud, which happens to be the biggest drawback of the M14x laugh.gif
But the recent BIOS update seemed to decrease the noise by a lot  thumbup.gif

How about the new BIOS system temperature?

That's the weird thing, I don't see any degradation in terms of cooling efficiency...
I think the BIOS update rendered the fan speed switching to become smoother and thus less annoying, without affecting the overall cooling effect  hmm.gif

Yeah that's weird. Maybe you can run some stress tests for the new BIOS system.

Many customers have asked whether or not we offer ALIENWARE systems.

Recently we have successfully sourced a powerful supply from oversea, consist of M11X, M14X, M17X and M18X. We have negotiated with the supplier and get much much cheaper prices than Malaysia (DELL online), especially the M17X.

However, DELL Malaysia claims the oversea machines must have 3 years on-site warranty (can be extended when arrive MY) in order to have cross-regional support. And M18X has no warranty support in MY, Singapore but can claim warranty oversea.

Please give some opinions. If the demand is not high, we will not take the risk by importing these ALIENWAREs.

I will be here working for 3years. Buying laptop in thailand is not a good choice. (expensive imo and i don't like the thai word on keyboard). Not sure if I need to upgrade my laptop in the future(opinion needed on this one) doh.gif

Looks like you are working in a multinational company.

I suggest you to get an international supported machine, like ASUS. DELL isn't a good international warranty supporter since they require you to purchase at least 3 years on-site repair in order to have cross-regional support in some regions (including Malaysia).

Hey all,

Can anyone recommend me the best bang for buck laptops that will run Starcraft 2 at decent levels? Don't care about any other games.

I was looking at Sager, purely for a value point of view (hoping build quality/heating problems aren't too bad...). I know they are customizable, but here are some quick reference setups I was trying to decide between. They all have the following in common:
i7-2630QM
8Gb DDR3 ram
300Gb Intel 320 SSD

SAGER NP3250
1366 x 768
<del>1GB GDDR3 Nvidia GeForce GT 520M GPU</del>: SC2 @ medium settings -> 27 fps
RM: 4707

SAGER NP5160
1920 x 1080
1GB GDDR3 Nvidia GeForce GT 540M: SC2 @ medium settings -> 53 fps (1360x768)
RM: 4,962

SAGER NP5165
1920 x 1080
2GB GDDR3 Nvidia GeForce GT 555M GPU: SC2 @ medium settings -> 59 fps
RM: 5,501 (100 lower due to sale)

SAGER NP8130
1920 x 1080
GTX 560M GPU with 1.5GB GDDR5: SC2 @ high settings -> 67.9 fps
RM: 5,859 (100 lower due to sale)

Does anyone have any feedback/experience/reviews to attest to the SC2 performance of any of the above? If I can run SC2 on NP3250 medium settings and decent frame-rate I'd be happy. The NP8130 looks tasty but will kind of break my budget. Obviously if the NP3250 can't run the game well though there's no point wasting money in the first place.

Any help appreciated smile.gif

You purchase laptop just for playing Starcraft 2? To be frank, there are thousand of models equip with the same specs as NP3250 and lower price. The fact is Sager is coming from US, the price is not so competitive in the lower end product line due to high labor cost over there.

However, NP8130, NP5160, NP5165 and NP5175 are good value models and all are customizable at reasonable price. Especially NP8130, but the RM100 discount will be ended by today 11.59pm subjected to payment clearance.

Thank you.

why still recommending old processors which are eoled...new processors support 16gb ram...

RAM support depends on motherboard and the number of slots. The processor only determines the frequency support of the RAM.
