QUOTE(Cyrus2k @ Nov 5 2012, 09:10 AM) "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. This post has been edited by Prince J: Nov 6 2012, 02:42 PM |

QUOTE(Farr _Him @ Nov 7 2012, 06:00 PM) "Hi, Hi Farr_Him,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 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. |

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Nov 10 2012, 11:40 PM) i read reviews that sager has problems with their keyboard, that is some keys need to be pressed harder to register the key and keyboard ghostting, which means some key combinations wont work. does anyone encounter this? Yes it's true. Clevo has looked into this and we shall expect a fix on next refresh line. |

QUOTE(corad @ Dec 19 2012, 04:23 PM) Just some feedback from friends ... Thank you for your friends' feedback. Many have been tempted to buy from ILLEGEAR but got put off by how the NAME/BRAND sounds 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. 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.

My bad..Clevo has removed this feature on P170EM. P170HM's sound quality was really good though.This post has been edited by Prince J: Dec 19 2012, 11:48 PM |

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. |

QUOTE(500yearoldalien @ Dec 21 2012, 05:48 PM) Hi All, Dear 500yearoldalien,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! 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 |

QUOTE(carbonytte @ Dec 23 2012, 12:29 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(eugenelimys @ Dec 24 2012, 04:42 PM) 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. Yes I do agreed that students need more battery life. We do sell 2nd Battery, although it is not stated online.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. 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 This post has been edited by Prince J: Dec 24 2012, 06:30 PM |
