    Are there any plans in the pipeline for Sager 8130/8150 to be Optimus enabled ?

    I've been seriously considering buying one of the above with either the 560M or 580M, but I'm concerned about the battery life if the laptop is running on discrete graphics all the time.

    Does Sager have any plans to Optimus enable both of them ?

    I emailed Sager about this a few weeks back -

    Well, not much of a reply. I'm hoping for better luck here :eek:

    Dang. Looks like Alienware are the only ones offering Optimus for their higher end models.

    But I definitely will not buy Alienware. Any idea how long it takes for Sager to come up with their next revisions ?
