does anyone else have the issue where the touchpad soemtimes doesn't work? I don't think my hand is brushing it at all, but sometimes the touchpad will just stop responding to my input. or what will happen is that it'll only move vertically. it's really weird and i was hoping someone knew something about that

I'd try reinstalling the drivers for it and see if that helps, or resetting the sensitivity to defaults. I've never liked touchpads at the best of times - occasionally my NP6110 will register a mouseclick when I wasn't even aware of touching it. I turn it off most of the time now and use a cordless mouse. I can recommend this MS mini mouse [link] with blue track tech - you can use it on almost any surface (within reason), and despite being called a mini mouse, it's pretty standard sized (although not as big as something like a Logitech MX518 gaming mouse).

HELP!!!! i dropped my bag containing my sager n6110 from 4 ft above the ground. it hit a hard surface and now screen is broken. see pictures
I was able to connect to another display and so far everything else looks ok, especially the hard drive.
What can i do at this point? is it possible to replace it on my own? I bought it from xoticpc 2 months ago and only had possession of my laptop for about 3 wks. this sucks big time. Can xotic pc do anything about it? or sager? I expect I would have to pay if they repair screens.

You can buy glossy replacement screens for the NP6110 online via Amazon - I believe the exact model is B116XW03 V.1 [link] - they have them in stock right now, but only in glossy (I've been trying to hunt down a matte one, but nobody seems to have them).

I purchased my NP6110 through XoticPC also, and asked about replacing the screen myself (mine is not damaged, I just don't like the glossy screen at all, and would much prefer matte). They advised me it would not void warranty as long as I didn't damage anything in the process, but you should confirm this with them yourself for your own protection. I am sure they would do the replacement for you if you wish - although I imagine it would cost you a bit with shipping etc.

HTWingNut posted a brief summary of his screen replacement [link] if you want to consider doing it yourself.

Sorry you suffered that damage though - must be a real downer on such a new machine.

Hi! This is my first post on this forum, but I want to say thanks to everyone posting in this thread. I've been reading this thread a lot, and people have been posting some good info!

I'm gonna order one of these in the next few days, either from Eurocom or Reflex Notebook (both Canadian companies with free shipping to Canada.) I've been emailing with both, and they've both been really helpful. Eurocom offers a much more significant student discount, otherwise the prices at Reflex seem to be a bit better, although Eurocom already offered to give me a free upgrade to the Intel wireless adapter (not something I'm really interested in, but nice none-the-less!)

If I decide to order from Eurocom, I can get the matte screen installed, which is nice. However, it comes with only one stick of 4 gig ram. RAM is something I haven't dealt with too much, but I know I want to upgrade this on my own. It's listed as "4GB; 1x 4GB; DDR3-1600; PC3-12800; CL11; 204-pin; 1 SODIMM". My question is, in general, what is compatibility like between different sticks of RAM? For example, could I buy any 8 gig stick of DDR3-1600 ram and put it in there to give me 12 gigs total?

Besides that, the upgrades I'm considering are the 3610qm, the matte screen, and the Seagate Momentus XT 750. Like I said, Reflex and Eurocom have pretty comparable prices, but the matte option and student discount are making me lean toward Eurocom.

By the way, can anyone link to a review of the matte screen? I know HTwingnut has one, but I can't seem to find it in his review thread. Thanks!

I've been trying to hunt down a matte one, but nobody seems to have them

They're on ebay at least, as almost any screen !

Do you guys get your RAM modules very (very) hot on prolonged usage ?
I never thought it would heat that much, almost burning to the hand !

i fixed my problem, for the most part i just reset it to defaults. i'm in HK and it's really humid, so I also turned up.. palm detection? by a tick or two, the one about humidity, i'll put it back when I'm back in LA where I live haha defaults works fine believe it or not, i'm glad lol

EDIT: also, another question, is that you know when you hit the hotkey, a little thing pops up in the top left, like if you turn on and off the wifi, or turn up the sound?

well even now when I hit the buttons, the thing happens but no popup comes up, anyone know why?

also, i can't install the new hotkey 6.045 or w/e my computer keeps saying it can't read the 6.040.msi file or something along those lines. anyone know anything?

I am not sure I understand the first question, but if there is no popup that is, usually, because the hotkey s/w is not properly installed; so uninstall and reinstall

as to the second matter, often enough the s/w on both sager and clevo sites is bad; try to re-download from their Asia ftp's

Hey guys, I tried searching this thread for virtualization, but nothing popped up. I'm not sure if it is Windows 8 preview, Virtualbox or this Clevo/Sager laptop, but I'm finding that the preview build for Windows 8 on Virtualbox with my NP6110 is very laggy, slow and often has crashes and video glitches. Does the 3610Q support virtualization? I followed the instructions I found online in setting up Windows 8 on Virtualbox, but my experience with Windows 8 really sucks.

3610qm supports Intel VT-x , even without that you should have no issue. In VBox settings, try to increase allocated vram&ram and see if it makes any difference. Also enable Direct2d acceleration if it is not enabled.

Windows 8.. bah, wouldn't touch that fugly thing with a 10 foot barge pole, at least not on a desktop or laptop environment. Metro may be ok for tablets / smartphones, but wow, a big step backwards with the GUI for desktops. Did I mention how fugly it is? It really is fugly.

One saving grace is the multi-display capabilities in W8.. which would've been better included in a SP release for W7, imho. Other than that, W8 barks like a dog. Woof.

W8 fanboys, please don't even bother arguing the merits of W8 with me, I've been there already - your efforts will be futile.

does anyone else have the issue where the touchpad soemtimes doesn't work? I don't think my hand is brushing it at all, but sometimes the touchpad will just stop responding to my input. or what will happen is that it'll only move vertically. it's really weird and i was hoping someone knew something about that

i dont have any problems with it, i just never install the synaptics driver for the touchpad, since i cannot deal with the driver shutting the touchpad off while i am typing, it is not a good thing for light mobile gaming that requires keyboard and mouse input constantly.

I'm fine with the default ms driver as i have always used for every laptop ive gotten.

Other than that, your issue doesn't sound normal. My touchpad is just very sensitive.
