Good Morning Everyone!! i was so late to do this review after i received it 2 weeks ago...but still excited to do review share with you guys how this beast review.....I bought this laptop from Malaysia premium reseller www.illegear.com...They providing good and reliable services....The laptop cost me about RM4.65k (everything cost was included) as the spec shown below
First Impression Look of the laptop

Short introduction of this laptop accessories:
[QUOTE]
it comes with user manual, driver disc (not with me currently), three circle pin power cord (which is not fit to our electrical socket), power brick (ac adapter), and VGA to DVI adaptor.

As u see the comparison to my xperia play....the size of the power brick is definitely big...


Moving on to the laptop itself:
Rear side : hdmi port, sata port (usb combo),Dvi output and Dc-in
Ps: The cooling system is Awesome cold!!!!!


right side: dvd rom (change to caddy case soon), headphone jack, microphone jack, s/pdif jack, line in jack, 1usb 2.0 and kensington lock

Left side : Lan port, 2x Usb 3.0(blue colour), 1 Usb 2.0 (power share function), firewire , and 3-in 1 card reader...

Keyboard : the spacing is very comfortable for gaming or type homework

i top up rm93 for glossy 15.6'' screen (for photoshop and vivid purpose)

Bottom side of the laptop : sub woofer, battery place (battery took out), middle part is hard drive compartment

A beast, need some extra add on to become a more powerful beast....so here the equip for my beast cost me about rm450


Nothing is perfect so heres something that annoying me
the glossy screen when light object sudden turn into dark....i can see some flare/blur at the screen...which is similar like this video below...haven figure out how to solve it...

a button f6, sometimes f6 is keep function but i'm not pressing it....
bluetooth always switch off after reboot everytime...
Finally i rate this laptop 9.8/10

gratz...

hey u!!!!i rmb u...hows going????tat asus not out ad.....new design coming out...did u bought any laptop already???
thx bro....wait to see ur review also

gratz !! tat is a lappy.

simon ar.. he blurring mau sv or new sf.. lolx....

haha...hope he can get his lovely lappy real soon.....waiting is worth...

why don't you take 8150 one? more future proof..

lol.... is the price not worth the card he thinks.. n55sf 3.7k.... gt555m but 128bit bus oli.. hmm...

anybody knws bus width ada kesan or not??

duno much about bus width also lol......but i found this :
A bus is a channel over which information flows. The wider the bus, the more information can flow over the channel, much as a wider highway can carry more cars than a narrow one. The original ISA bus on the IBM PC was 8 bits wide; the universal ISA bus used now is 16 bits. The other I/O buses (including VLB and PCI) are 32 bits wide. The memory and processor buses on Pentium and higher PCs are 64 bits wide.

The address bus width can be specified independently of the data bus width. The width of the address bus dictates how many different memory locations that bus can transfer information to or from.

hmm.. so the bus width ada kaitan ngan speed leh... hmm.. lidat.. lolx..

he more blur. miahaahhaahaha


btw.. jacky.. do some benchmarks eh!!

we all will

how's the build quality? flex etc

np8130 also can be upgrade gpu as well.... but just need to replace another more powerful power brick....if i'm not wrong...so i spend the rest go for a ssd

for once we see the graphic card being the weakest link in WEI...

the surface let me feels like very glossy and if any scratches very easy to expose also...so i quickly stick carbon fiber sticker to protect it....
as u know the gpu and processor is separated and each of them have their own cooling ventilation....so its really cold in there....
for the keyboard...seems like a toy but its very comfortable for typing and gaming....
the speaker is crazy loud compare to most laptop....
overall its solid when u holding on your hand (but still its plastic especially when u're typing on its own keyboard,got very load of plastic sound respounce), abit thick and a bit heavy 3.2kg more or less

this thing can tapau my toshiba like eat kacang.

haha.. aso tapau mine liau.


kacang puteh!!!

u kacang putih mahal sikit. sy punya kacang nasi lemak. murah punya

why said good morning when ur create topic at 4:33pm?

Because i start make this review at 9.30am

The way you put the carbon sticker is much neat compared to mine. I measure first and map on the sticker, then cut it off and stick on the surface. The only thing I don't have is air dryer.

haha....i did cut off after i stick....i used hair dyer (learn from ebay seller) and lighter to make sure the sticker melt and stick on every shape and curve places....

Can order your service to stick my NP8150-S1 too? ...

I will send my lappy from Dubai back to Malaysia ...

nonono....i scare i scratch ur laptop ><!!actually very easy oni...jz nid lots of patient and time....i can teach u more detail if u want because ur laptop almost the same thing with mine...

Serious, I more scared I scratch my laptop than you scratch my laptop ... since you got the experience dy ... and me not good in handy stuff ... ... got clumsy fingers ...

actually is very easy oni....u take out ur keyboard and speaker case....all the cutting hide under it....thats the reason i pull out my keyboard and speaker case....
Plus.....beside out laptop u see a line that around the laptop....follow the line and cut....for the mouse pad there...actually u can jz leave it....bcz the mouse pad is still functional through a sticker...
my cutting inside the keyboard there actually also quite ugly....
good luck bro!u can do it....
"jz do it"

Haha ... that day went to some mall here in Dubai ... got a 15.6" transparent laptop skin, but when wanted to stick time, found that the 15.6" laptop skin still cannot fit our laptop ... I guess I will need to get those 17" laptop skin, wasted my money for that ...

lol ts u should make a tutorial on that too. Really comes in handy when u are customizing ur laptop. Would like to learn from u too ts xD

Ya ya .... Remove the sticker from your laptop, and re-apply it again, this time with video ... and upload to YouTube ...

wow wow, take it easy guys....its a tough mission that u guys ask ><!!!
just roughly cut a rectangle within the keyboard space , then stick from right hand side up to down, at the same time cut out the extra, cutting would be ugly but its fine when u cover it by keyboard and speaker case...more pictures in my profile u can go see see....if u nid more....i can take out the keyboard again and snap more picture for u guys...if u guys request la hehe~....here the link for more picture....

Good finishing dude !
What carbon brand you use for the wrapping ? 3M?
You have opened your new laptop keyboard, it wont avoid the warranty ?

thx bro...
ur shot was awesome!!very professional already.....i haven reach that level.....i watch gundam 00 only collect, love it so much...i'm only collect gundam 00 HG....other is too many types and expensive especially pg and ff

Added on August 8, 2011, 9:50 ami'm using 3d carbon fiber sticker,made in taiwan....bought from a really nice seller in this forum also....
this point i'm not sure...because out there many ppl made tutorial how to take off the keyboard and didnt saw any voidable warranty sticker at any screw point...even reseller oso teach us how to take out the keyboard...so i think its ok one....bcz this laptop is born for customize and up-gradable

Anyway, back to your notebook, seriously, I would like to have a look on your notebook when I am back on my next home trip, do you think it is possible?

Did you purchase an OS? 4.6k seems reasonable if it comes with OS. How was illegear's delivery? Did you extend your warranty? Just comparing prices with Mucro.

4got to ask u bro.. did ur gpu come with switchable??

^No.

then this lappy is good! i hate switchable gpu!

nope....exlude os...too exp for me....illegear delivery is quite good....had a good communication with this re-seller...and nope extend warranty also....anything break down jz change la....

Added on August 9, 2011, 1:44 pmactually this model is quite easy to stick la, because of surface are flat and square i'm not a pro person, i jz want my laptop to be covered up prevent scratches and make it more nice looking...i believe if u got the heart...u can do it better than mine
