The Sager NP8130 Review by Mr. Mysterious

[kevindd992002]

Those of you using a Crucial M4 in your NP8130, can you post your Crystalmark and/or AS-SSD benchmark results on here? Thanks...

Here ya go:

Sorry about that. I was away on vacation (actually, I still am). I'm not sure how to answer your questions....I wasn't aware that there are kinds of BSODs. They were random, but it didn't seem like anything triggered them.

After the firmware update, it seems like everything is working fine now, though.

Mr. Mysterious

Oh ok, sorry about that I didn't know you were on vacation.

I thought you were getting specific BSODs at first.

Yes, there is a built in microphone for the laptop.

Mr. Mysterious

Can you share any information about the quality of the microphone?

[ng33beta]

Mine is 15 seconds

There's definitely enough space that could be found inside the chassis to mount mSATA SSDs. Maybe on the next generation but regular 2.5" SSDs are still going to be the most abundant and best in price to performance because of market share.

Is this from completely shut down and not from sleep/standby?

[Mr_Mysterious]

Can you share any information about the quality of the microphone?

No, I can't actually...I don't use the microphone all that much. In fact, I don't think I've used it at all since I've gotten it. Not something that I'm concerned about.

what do you mean by premium? it's not like their so much higher priced, not to talk in some cases, they ain't

ok for example i was looking at the new sager and i had a price difference of around 500pounds, when i was looking at the old SB models,in the USA, i was getting much better spec of components for the equivalent amount of GBP...
