    Official statement from Sager:

    Sager NP8130 and NP9130 will not be approved to support any GPU over 75Watt TDP. regardless of the AC Adapter used.

    official notice from Clevo to Sager is that we are not to interchange motherboards between P151xM1 and P150xM for any reason.

    as the motherboard may share the same BIOS, ID name and the same plain board Major version and minor revisions. the power components used on the completed boards are different.

    the power tolerance design and component used on the P151xM1 motherboards is to support GPUs with a max of 75Watts only.

    you will be shorting the life span of the components on the mainboard if you install a 100 Watts GPU in these units, therefore Sager will not be testing any 100watts GPU modules on the NP8130 and NP9130 for any reason.

    Motherboards ARE different. Is the power components different - that's not certain.

    There are "statements",but they are contradictory. On one hand, Sager said thats its unsafe and not supported (about a year ago).

    On the other hand, resellers like mySN have been officially selling P151EM with 680M and 180W adapter almost since the same time (past year).

    So you decide, who of them is correct.

    I am probably just missing it but I dont see the P151EM available from them, just the P150EM (XMG P502 Pro). Whats the model number they use, just wanted to check it out. Thanks ahead of time.

    XMG P502 with non-backlit keyboard is P151EM (thats why their configurator even warns that "non-rubberized finish will be applied if non-backlit keyboard is selected")
