As of right now i have gotten down to the np9150 and the GT60.
Any advice, i would like a backlit keyboard.

Also I have heard that The Sager is loud, any thoughts on this?

If admin could delete this one as well, that would be great, something bugged and it posted 3 times.

Consider the Sager NP9150.

[smokinokie]

He IS considering the 9150. See title of thread.....

[mortalitas]

is it really that loud compared to many other laptops, because i will be using it in a dorm with prolly 3 roommates.

[DEagleson]

I got a Clevo P170HMx (Sager 8170), the last years 17" model and while it might be loud its certainly not eardeafening.
But my friends MSI GT780DX with a 570m is louder at heavy load.
His temps are still as good as mine.

The 15" models should not be that much different though.

[mortalitas]

every place i have read had said something different about the noise levels, one place said it was louder than the last years models

[Prasad]

That's because "noise" is an individual's consideration to be made.. Most people here said the old Sager NP5793 was too loud, but for me it was heavenly silent since I was used to a desktop up until then.

can someone experienced put the cons and pros of both against each other...please.....most people say the sager is better can someone help??
