For those who want to install Win 8 in their system, you will need to update EC and the latest Win8 BIOS.

What is EC?  hmm.gif

And, NP8130 still needs to wait right?  sweat.gif

"Embedded Controller"

Follow these steps:

1. Disable Intel® Anti-Theft function if the laptop supports Anti-Theft function.
2. Update EC version 1.02.xx for win 8
3. Update ME and BIOS --> “meset.exe” and “flashME.bat”
4. Win 8 BIOS can't downgrade to Win 7 BIOS, but it is compatible with Win 7 OS, you need to select the OS version in CMOS setting.

"Hi,

Been pondering getting a notebook from illegear for a while now. Just went to your website and noticed a revamp and new models? I'm guessing the new Illegear RS series are illegear's own Clevo/Sager models? If not, what are the differences? The RS-15 comes up to about RM300 cheaper with the specs I put in compared to the 9150" by 500yearoldalien

Hi Farr_Him,

They are about the same, but our illegear notebooks are certainly better.
There are few differences:
1. ILLEGEAR's lead time is 3 to 5 days, Sager is 7 to 14 days.
2. ILLEGEAR has much much faster warranty repairing turnaround time, 100% of the repairs will be fixed locally. 50% of Sager warranty repairing will be fixed locally.

Yes it's true. Clevo has looked into this and we shall expect a fix on next refresh line.

NP8130's GPU upgrade option is very limited. What GPU you want to use on your NP8130?

I know for sure that to upgrade my card, I'll need a 180W charger as well.

Do you have a list of all NP8130 compliant card ?
*
The 180W adapter is compulsory.

The NP8130 cannot upgrade its GPU to GTX 6 series, which 5 series GPU you want to use?

Just some feedback from friends ...

Many have been tempted to buy from ILLEGEAR but got put off by how the NAME/BRAND sounds  tongue.gif ("Ill" , "illegal" "gilikgear")
I think you have a solid product and know what you're doing. so IMHO perhaps just a name tweak would help draw even more customers in.
*
Thank you for your friends' feedback. smile.gif

I think our name is good and fine. ILLEGEAR is obviously not ILL, ILLEGAL or GILIKGEAR.

MSI is not MS, Acer is not Ace, Alienware is not Alien, Inspiron is not InPrison.

Money is not the most important thing to us. We don't use a name which sounds good to everyone.

The name conveys what are we doing, what our products are all about.

Fn + 5 only change the speaker configuration at Realtek Audio Manager from Stereo to 5.1. Barely can notice sound quality improvement.

My bad..Clevo has removed this feature on P170EM. P170HM's sound quality was really good though.

Dear Eugene,

The 7970M problem only exists on RS-15 and RS-17 (NP9150 & NP9170) due to Enduro. RX-17 doesn't have Enduro feature, hence it is problem free.

We will also add dual GTX680M option before end of the year.

Hi All,

Planning on getting an Illegear RS-15 sometime next week, hoping a few people can help me clear up a few questions. I'll be installing my own mSATA drive and OS.

I'm guessing this is the right page for the drivers?
http://www2.sagernotebook.com/pages/notebo...roductType=9150
If for example, I was using Windows 7 64bit, I would only need to download all the relevant wind 7 64bit drivers, but I noticed two other drives which I believe I won't be needing if I'm using an mSATA as a main drive?

Intel Rapid Start Technology Driver for Windows 7 32/64 BIT and  Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for Windows 7 32/64 BIT.

Is there any particular order I should install the drivers? I've read in a few forums that I should at least install the intel's built in GPU before installing the main GPU, how about the rest of the drivers?

Have I missed anything else that I would need for a fresh install?

Thanks in advance!

Dear 500yearoldalien,

We can provide dvd with both Win 7 and Win 8 drivers. There is no need to download from Sager site. If you would like to download, I would suggest you to download from official Clevo page: http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/download.asp

Here is a complete guide of "how to enable Intel SRT": http://www.pcworld.com/article/248828/how_...technology.html

Hope this help smile.gif

Oh. it is due to the fan size limitation? What is the price for 180W power supply and 580M GPU then? Also, if I change to AMD, do you know what version is supported for NP8130 ? 6990 M? I want to do a data comparison between the GPUs first hehe.

Hi carbonytte,

Can I have your Sager serial number? Will help to follow up the issue.

Illegear don't have the second battery option. And I didn't enroll in the school before. So, I not sure whether are there any plugs near the seat I am going to be given.
I think I should get M17X ba.. Will earn money and buy from illegear in the future after I finished my studies. Currently need more battery life and gaming laptop. Haiz.. If RX17 can last longer, then I would definitely get it. sad.gif
*
Yes I do agreed that students need more battery life. We do sell 2nd Battery, although it is not stated online.

Apart from battery life, you should take weight into serious consideration if you want to bring it to school.

Alienware M17X - 4.3kg to 5.4kg depending on configuration
RX-17 - Starting 3.9Kg with battery pack

Anyway, thanks for ever considering our system tongue.gif

ILLEGEAR RS-17 is equivalent to Sager NP9170 (from the same manufacturer).
The only difference is ILLEGEAR RS-17 is starting with AMD Radeon HD 7970M and Intel i5-3210M config.
