    Hi guys :)

    I'm wondering, I'm looking at the 5160 and 5165 models here in Brazil and the way I want them configured, it's almost the price of a 8130.

    But from what I read somewhere, the 8130 doesn't have the switching to the Intel integrated GPU, right? I hope I'm wrong on this.

    In the case I'm right, does this affect battery life too much?

    The top config MacBook pro has a 5 to 7-hour battery life (not gaming, just doing internets stuff including youtube and all), how are the battery life on both these Sager models, the np5160 and the 8130? (not asking about the 5165 because it's on pre-order even in the USA).

    Thanks a ton!

    np8130 - about three and a half hours with half brightness, wi-fi on, not to bad at all.

    Thanks! Not bad, really. So you think I could expect 5-6 using the integrated gma on the NP5160/65?
