    I purchased the sager np8268-s a while ago and got the gtx880m. I was going to wait until the 900s were announced but at the time I couldn't wait as needed a laptop. While I'm not regretting getting the 880m as like I said I needed the laptop at the time, but I'm currently looking to upgrade to the 980m. I have contacted Sager and there response was "we do not offer the upgrade kit yet" I'm just wondering if this is a futile endeavor? are there any other kits that would work? Any help would be appreciated!

    Hidevolution sell a GPU upgrade kit for the M17x R4 but the same thing can be used in your Sager... Pretty much all the parts are the same.. Only thing would be the heatsink screws which you need to tell them to sell you for the Sager.. You'll get 1 year's part warranty from them..
