woot gratz

share ur specs n customisation

prepared to do anti-dust cleaning maintenance?

Haha, sure do. I upgrade my baby with GTX485, i7-2760, wireless card 6230. They fit best my budget.
And, unlike u, I prefer gtx485 rather than HD 6990 ^^ . Although HD6990 is one of greatest single GPU, it may not be the best choice for small model like 8150. As the price is incredible low, i doubt its stability and temperature. Still, doing research about this )

 

[ryanseah]

Finally placed my order yesterday....21 days seems awfully long now!

 

[kanchelsis]

I just placed my order for an 8170 last week Can't wait to get it!

Business seems good here

can i check what are the main differences between 8130 and 8150? the 8130 can be configured to be close/almost similar to the 8150 but the price still differs quite a bit.. i want to grab the 8130 with 6990m but 8130 does not allow customization of the graphic card..

the reason i want 8130 instead of 8150 is because it comes with the matt lcd screen by default.

Hi

NP8130 and NP8150 are the same model. The different between them were the AC adaptor and the screen.

If you want the 6990M Card, only option was NP8150. You can chose the 15.6" Full HD LED-Backlit Display features 95% NTSC Color Gamut in Matt Surface. I can tell you that screen much much more better than the normal matt screen. Color are more bright and sharp. Any angle you look into the screen, the color still the same.

Actually if you compare them with same spec (i7-2670QM), they are about the same price expect different ac adaptor.

But NP8150 can be upgraded so its more worth buying it.

The price was not discounted yet. If you are student or NSFs, you get further 5% OFF the price.

Thanks

hi cubehub, thanks for clarifying.. i'll think about it.. really tempting but im still a student and do not have much money.. hopefully when the new 28nm graphic cards and ivybridge are out the price will drop a bit more..

once again, thanks for taking the time to clarify my doubts..

Hi

Just for your info.

Normally if any new motherboard, CPU or GPU are released, Sager notebook will opt for the lastest ones and replace them. You could hardly see any old motherboard, CPU or GPU after the changes. Sager will sold to customers the lastest models unless there are some old stocks around.

So the chances of you getting cheaper price on the older models when new platform released are very slim.

The advise was to get now or wait for new models next year but the price will be around the same.

Thanks
