    I am buying a laptop and I'm confused between these two laptops. They basically have the same specs, however the P150EM is a bit cheaper. Is there a reason I should go with the NP9130 rather than the P150EM?

    NP9130
    P150EM

    Both are the same laptop, NP9130 is just the Sager version of the P150EM.

    9130 is the Cl;evo 151em...the 150em (9150) has a rubberized chassis, backlit keyboard and options for higher end GPU's.

    Interesting...some sites are calling the 9150 the 150em se and the 9130 the 150em. While others have it 150em and 151em1...a bit confusing to say the least.

    wrong :p

    NP9150 = P150EM

    NP9130 = P151EM.

    The P151EM has no backlit keyboard, plastic finish (as opposed to rubber), smaller battery charger, and is restricted only to 670M in the configs now.

    EDIT: damn, ninja'd

    So I'm guessing the P150EM is the better buy then?

    If you're planning on saving a bit of money and don't care about having the best graphics card or the other luxuries then the 9130 is the better buy. If you have money to burn, the 9150(p150em) is the better buy if you want the most recent hardware.

    My bad, I have ordered from MALIBAL and they listed the P150EM as the GTX 670M only model. It seems like the P150EM SE listed on MALIBAL would be the Sager NP9150 (Built on Clevo P150EM) listed on XoticPC.

    Okay so the NP9150 ≠ P150EM on Malibal?

    Exactly. The P150EM on Malibal's website is the NP9130 = P151EM
