Yeah. I'm guessing the bigger brick 180W
.

Yes. I know about this just want to double check. Also last time Np8130 can fit in a Nvidia 580M or ATI 6970M card. But again u need to upgrade the power supply. Just wondering if that i do that, do i need to do anything else ? Like update the BIOS or something of that sort? Any Sifu can clarify ?

power supply as in power adapter? or something inside the comp and batts?

i believe that will be both.

also,the bios need to have compatible with 7970m as well.

good point.

Anybody can confirm this ? Was actually thinking of doing this as my graduation present. I wonder how much will a 7970 discreet card cost ? Do u really need to change so many things for a new GC ? LOL

unfortunately for our model yeah...

anyways im interested to know what mouse you guys paired with your sager?

Logitech Mx 510. Is a good mouse n my first ever gaming mouse if u can call that... Smooth n responsive. Y the question ?

because I've tried two mice already and both failed me within months.one is Logitech and the other one a targus. both are retractable type.

don't know what other mouse to get.

razer ftw!lol

im been using deathadder for 4 years and still running well

hi can anyone confirm the sager with ivy bridge can upgrade GPU in future ?
some 1 say Sager with sandy bridge cannot upgrade GPU in future :
No more gpu upgrades for p170hm and p150hm (sandy bridge)

me use 5 years old A4Tech mouse, stll works fine till ow.

About latest Ivy bridge notebooks, I (and even the sellers) have no idea.

The think is I'm always moving my laptop on a daily basis... So I prefer retractable type that can be stored easily. Hate to have to tidy up the cable every single day.

how about a wireless one?

yeah if we're talking about wireless ones, which will you recommend?

standard logitech wireless mouse would do, and use rechargeable battery.

thanks for recommendation.
