I recently lost my laptop and am in market for a new gaming 15 incher. Should I wait for the new model refresh of the Clevo P150EM, or buy one now? I can wait until September before buying one.
AFAIK, Haswell is coming out during that time, how about graphics card model lineups? Thank you!! This post has been edited by keyzjh: Apr 12 2013, 03:28 AM |

Scorching speed from this one! Fantastic sales service from the Illegear team. They've helped installed the Samsung SSD into the RS-15, installed Windows 7 Pro on it and elaborated on the calibration profile done and how to activate it. I absolutely love my RS-15, solid built and currently installing Crysis 3 and 3DMark11/13 on it to bench. From AJA speed test, 515-520MB/s on the SSD, I'm plenty happy!  |

hello guys.. noob question..
I bought the NP5175 in 2011. its been in tip top condition even until now. Some questions.. 1.) Should I update all the drivers downloaded from the Internet like INTEL (HD Graphics 3000,SSD,wifi,etc..) and NVIDIA (GT555M) or just stick to the official drivers provided from Sager? 2.) How do I update it's BIOS? thanks in advance! |

I'm handy with tools but don't want to screw it up... sager is easy to disassemble. you just need a philips and flathead screwdriver, and you are on the go. turn your laptop upside down, remove the back cover screws and remove the back cover. then you can start cleaning the fans and heatsink. |

ts, can change the illegear site? it returns 404 already, probably better just redirect to illegear main page instead. anyway, i wonder if I should buy this and upgrade for my np8130, or wait another year and get a new laptop haha : http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEVO-P150HM-P170H...=item19dabdda10 |

Hi, I have a sager laptop np8130. I suspect my gpu card nvidia 560m may be faulty cause I can hear sound playing as normal but cannot see anything on my screen. I try connecting to my TV but also blank screen. Sometimes it starts fine but sometimes got only blank screen. Is it really my gpu has issues? If i were to try to replace it, does anyone know the price?
Thanks. |

I think it's time for me to change my laptop. Booting up into Windows 8 at the logo screen, it just shuts down. Removed one RAM and it works fine (had to figure out which one first). Had this issue with other RAM modules as well... this is the 3rd module that I changed. Damn... Not sure what else could be causing the issue though... It happens like every 2 months after I update my Windows.

Anyway I just got a new wifi card, Intel 6235. I wonder if I can just change the wifi card just like that, or does the BIOS has wifi whitelist that it needs to adhere to.QUOTE(SonicSpyro @ May 10 2013, 05:07 PM) I think it's time for me to change my laptop.

It happens like every 2 months after I update my Windows. Can you try booting on other RAM slots? Anyway I had my own issues with Win8, it keeps on saying there is error and need to restart after boot. And so happens that my vpn software went wrong, had to uninstall in safe mode. Probably you could try this, but would be a pain in the butt since to enter safe mode, you actually need to login Win8 first, then quickly go to settings to enable safe mode. |
