I am interested in the Sager NP9130.

However, I am also considering the Lenovo Y580 found here (IdeaPad Y580 15.6" Laptop | Shop | Lenovo | (US)).
The Lenovo is currently priced at $999 and I was hoping that I could get the Sager NP9130 at a competitive price.

Do any of the resellers have the ability to be competitive with Lenovo's current pricing? Currently I'm matching the specs and finding the Sager to be approximately $200 more.

I should also mention that I'm a student. While I'm not looking for a direct price match, I would like to get the best price possible for the Sager NP6130.

Feel free to contact me via PM.

Thank you.

Question:

Since there will be no 3D version of the P170EM. Is it still possible to use a 120Hz LCD in this laptop ? I am not interested in the 3D gimmick, just in having 120 Hz on my LCD screen. Thank you!

We keep working on it, but due to how things are designed its not quite easy. The biggest difference between the 3 and the not 3 model of things is there is basically a switch (and by switch I mean a small surface mounted component) that makes the motherboard output into the eDP port, and without that little surface mount strap its not that easy, but we are working on it. Don't know if we'll have success or not =)

That's great news Mythlogic.

Not sure how long I can hold my buy. I was pretty much set on buying a new laptop this month.
Will it be possible to upgrade later? I reckon it will require a new motherboard and screen right ? That kinda makes the upgrade impossible.

It won't require a new board if its going to work at all, the connector is there. 120Hz screen + Cable? Yes it will require a new one of those, but besides that no. Its all the same motherboard this time. As optimus + 120hz works fine, its the 3D part that doesn't.

Ahhhh NICE! Thank you for letting me know all this.
Time for a new laptop then...

Just made my own thread, which now I'm rethinking. Looking to purchase a NP 9150 with 680m in the near future. No idea which reseller to go with. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Would be shipping to South Florida.

The best thing to do is call the resellers that interest you and get their advice on your build, and then go with the one with whom you are most comfortable.

Please feel free to email me at Donald@PowerNotebooks.com or call me Toll Free at 1-877-711-1777 between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM Pacific Time Monday through Friday to discuss any questions you might have.

I was wondering if any of the resellers knew if a P151em could run a 3920xm in it and what you'd have to do to make it run. Also assuming it does work could a p151em use a P150hm 180W ac adapter or atleast something that'd give it more headroom for overclocking.

Hello Resellers,

I was hoping one of you guys could help me in my situation as it has been very difficult to figure out what to do. I recently purchased a clevo p170em from computerupgradeking and it came with the amd radeon hd 7970m. I dislike the enduro/firmware issues and because this will be a long term desktop replacement investment (3-5 years), id rather make the upgrade to 680m and have less problems in the future. My issue is that computerupgradeking is being hard to deal with and they say they dont offer swapping of gpus. I was wondering if any of you resellers would be willing to swap out my gpu for a gtx 680m and i would pay the shipping and upgrade costs obviously. I obviously chose the wrong reseller to purchase my laptop from but I just hope to be able to have a reliable system for years to come and I dont feel that I do right now. I already tried contacting sager but apparently my system is a clevo (even tho it is listed as a sager on computerupgradeking when i purchased it there). If anyone can help me in my situation that would be great, thank you guys.
