    hello sager/clevo dealers out there,
    i just want to ask if its possible to order a modell without a graphic card installed (P150HM has mxm slot if im right)

    it would still operate with sandy bridge's built in igp, but i could buy a graphic card later.

    thanks in advance

    It won't work without a card in the MXM slot. The LCD is ONLY wired to the MXM slot. It won't boot without one, trust me we tried.

    That would explain why the 15" inch clevos can't do optimus, their motherboards aren't wired to the igp at all
