Grrrr, I can't check these because my 3ds can't play video. Can anyone tell me if the last review's reseller just botched the cooling, or if we have a serious problem with the design?

Hey guys. My laptop just died and am contemplating getting a sager/Clevo. I'm not very familiar with the brand but am looking for a 15.6 inch model. I take it this is the latest model? The only places I see to order from allow for customization. I kind of need a laptop this week...is this possible or do i have to wait a couple weeks for a build to be assembled?

Looking to get my first hi-end laptop my 3 year old toshiba literally went up in smoke yesterday good timing i guess. I'm a java programmer but don't play any video games or anything like that. I was looking at the following laptop

Lotus P150EM-SE
Lotus P150EM - MALIBAL

Which is about 200 bucks cheaper (before configuring) than the Lotus P150EM but when i compared them what was shown was identical on both machines? What's with the price difference?

I noticed in extras that there was an option for a backlit keyboard on the P150EM but not on the SE version but i'm seeing signs that the SE also has the backlit keyboard which is something i would really like.

Anyway main two questions are does the SE have a backlit keyboard and what's with the price difference?

P150EM is like the old P151HM no backlit key but for what I see now it is posible to config

p.p. sorry I didn't see option for backlit keys in EXTRAS

and P150EM SE is the P150HM

You have it backwards... the SE is the one with the backlit keyboard. The SE also has a rubberized casing compared to the plastic casing on the standard P150EM. The SE also has a 180W PSU, which supports the higher GPUs & CPUs - like the 675M and 2960XM.

well i just looked at the video and i gotta say its too big/bulky for me to carry around at college. im not expecting zenbook thicknes but this is too much. Also, I would expect the cooling to be great but if it makes that much noise.... I have to pass this laptop up. Maybe the next time im looking for alptop goodluck to people that buy this!

The mSATA is sata2 on these. We can do the pm800 series and we offer it. It'll be a while to get the pm830 online.

I do like the pm830 for its 256GB option. 120/125GB would be a tight squeeze for my future setup. Like the others here, I'm waiting for Ivy Bridge to be released. Do you think you will have the Samsung PM830 SATA 3 256GB mSATA SSD before Aug 2012?

Ha sorry about that i do have it backwards so the standard one doesn't have the backlit keyboard that's unfortunate was hoping to get out a little cheaper but that is something i would really like since i live in a dorm and my room mate goes to bed at a normal time while i'm up coding till 5am I can touch type obviously but the backlit keyboard just makes things easier for those obscure keys that i never use often

Looking to get a 15 inch with i7-2670QM, 8gbs of ram, 750gb hdd and backlit keyboard damn graphics card is just driving my price up ha don't need that at all
