It's amazing how thin the panels themselves are now.

 

In a pinch a plastic table knife will work, just be careful not to scrape the teeth against the panel.

I know, right!? Easily the most bang-for-the-buck upgrade you can do to this laptop.

 

90% of the M.2 drives are still SATA. Only the Samsung to my knowledge has the 1GBs interface.

I got the Ripjaws SODIMM for someone who asked...

 

Credit card works well

Patched 1.4, cracked, latest driver, maximum performance setting.

I don't buy any pc game unless it runs like it should, so ubi....

 

I got the 256GB M.2 Samsung for my OS and just ordered an 840 evo 1TB for storage. Holy buckets that samsung is fast.

 

Can you use the Samsung XP941 M.2 Drive as a Bootdrive?

Can't complain about a cracked game not running as the developer intends. Often times cracked games do suffer performance issues. I haven't seen any repeated issues with this game as of yet, and the majority will be playing with uncracked, so I'd be pretty confident in saying it's because of that.

 

yes, that is how mine is configured

 

Where did u get them from? I've been looking at Ripjaws too, but didn't see those prices...

 

Hi guys, I've been lurking a lot around here these past few weeks, while searching for a good gaming notebook that could last some good years of use, and I finally ended with the P65xSG.

I will order mine tomorrow or the day after at most, but I can't seem to settle on a screen panel. The options I have are either the 1080p TN N156HGE-LA1 or the 3K IPS Panasonic VVX16T029D00. There's a 4K option too, but that's simply excessive. I was going at first for the 3K, as I've read the TN is sub-optimal, then I've read and see the video of HTWingnut screen replacement and thought about going down the same way.
But I've just read the discussion about LVDS and eDP signal and connection and now I'm not so sure anymore. The best for me will be a 1080p IPS, but will I be able to buy that type of panel and swap it with the TN one? Will I need some cable adapter, or will it just be not possible?

 

It has nothing to do with it. It is just a bad port. Check this article for a semi-solution until (hopefully) a patch fixed it.

​How To Get Far Cry 4 Running More Smoothly on PC

 

rest assured, if you take a 1080P P650SG you can install ANY 30pins EDP IPS screen you'd like, no adapter needed.

 

Thanks Retron! But that Eurocom Panasonic 3k is the VVX16T029D00 model. The Australian Metabox Panasonic 3k is the VVX16T020G00 model. Anyone know what the difference (if any) is?

 

Thank you. I'll try to search around some site and ask for availability, and see..

 

Newegg. Prices went back up it seems.

 

That's an lvds connector so the swap would not be as easy

Unfortunately this is NOT true for a system that comes with the N156HGE-LA1 panel, which is an LVDS panel, not an eDP panel.

If the manufacturer offers an IPS upgrade, I'd take that option. Based on Mythlogic's contribution to the panel swap discussion, aftermarket upgrades from an LVDS panel to an eDP panel might not be possible.

 

aside from taking it apart, how can you tell which panel it came with? or is it based off the laptop model? (I have the 650SE)

 

HWinfo64 utility will give you hardware information like that.

 

sweet, thanks!

 

I want the Clevo P651SG with the i7-4980HQ, but I cant find any info about it except from Clevo main page... is this option just not available from any vendor?

 

with a 4980HQ ? here's one link

 

Woohoo phase 1 at Xotic PC! I hope those IPS displays come in earlier than December 12th

 

Ordered my P651SG from MySn.eu today 1080p IPS panel, 980M (of course), 16gb RAM and the stock 4710HQ. I managed to nab a 1 TB 840 EVO for only €350 on Amazon France, so I'll install that and the OS myself. Can't wait!

 

Just ordered mine!

Was pretty tempted to get the Sharp 4k Panel but they didn't have it in stock (ETA 2 months!), BUT they said they could send it out right now with a 1080p IPS display and swap it over later when the Sharp panel came in for an extra $33 labour, +$88 pickup and return delivery. I dunno do you think the Sharp screen would be worth the extra effort / cost? I think the 3k Panel is meant to be pretty good...

 

Nice, my wife can cook while I'm gaming

 

Panasonic VVX16T020G00 Overview - Panelook.com

Can't see any glaring differences myself.

 

I added Samsung 840 Evo 1TB to the cart which was priced for 349.99 on Amazon. I decided to read some review and other performance benchmarks online before I could suck it up and buy. In matter of few hours, the price jumped to 377.99!!!

 

Same here. I'll wait till christmas time.

 

Hello Everyone!

SAGER NP8651
4G LTE M.2 3042 Card Module

Question, does anyone have an idea where to get a 4G LTE M.2 3042 Card Module?
Believe ti or no, i have asked CLEVO, SAGER, XOTICPC and till now i got no answer!

Nebojsa

 

Hi,

Where can i buy a LTE/HSPA+ M.2 3042 4G Module Card? No one can tell me what! Not even sager lol....
Nebojsa

 

https://techship.se/products/category/lte-ngff-m2/

Not exceptionally hard. Not sure if reliable or compatible or not, but a quick Google search yielded these results.

 

Blue Mobility offer the official Clevo UMTS/LTE card it seems. Contact them, though hopefully you can speak Polish.

BLUEMOBILITY

 

their sales reps do speak english, so that shouldnt be a problem

 

Thank's i know that. But the issue is it reliable or compatible?! Don't want to throw $$$.
That is why i contacted them, and landed the question here.

Nebojsa

 

Check the wireless bands with the country you live in. They differ all over the world. Ask BM what the compatible bands are and check what bands are used by the mobile companies in the country you're in. It's hard to say without knowing that.

 

This is the reply i got from CLEVO.

"Could you contact with SAGER you bouth the laptop does it support 4G. if not support you can't use, becuase support 4G function is belong to factory option.
if you bought the laptop is without 4G function. even ypu put the 4G card on on the Main board the function still can' work yet. becusae with /without 4G the M/B is different."

I GOT IT FROM XOTICPC.COM, there is nothing listed as factory option for 4G listed at all?!
Do they know what they are selling at all, i mean XOTICPC and SAGER?

Heard that the Samsung 4k screen was 48Hz, can anyone confirm this as looking at the below link, it says it is 60Hz?

SAMSUNG LTN156FL02-L01 Overview - Panelook.com

Otherwise does anyone know where the Sharp 4K LQ156D1JX01B can be purchased?

 

We´ve had this info before, it indeed seems to be the case that once u choose a model without installed modem you cannot upgrade it later on by urself. So either include it in your order right away or live with the fact that ull have to use an external dongle down the road

definitely go with the sharp, if possible. the samsung has been found to be running at 48Hz according to Y50 users and also uses an RGBW matrix, thus reducing the actual "real" resolution to below 4K. the sharp model doesnt have those restrictions

 

Thanks just found out that Kong Computers here in AUS have the Sharp 4K upgrade...will definetely go that!!!

 

Just a quick heads up Aether, I am purchasing my SG's from Kong Computers. I was going to change orders to move up to the Sharp 4K screen, however metabox actually doesn't actually stock it and will specially order upon request - so if you were to order, metabox has given an ETA of about 4 weeks.

Otherwise what you can do is order with whichever screen and when the 4k panels do come in you can send the laptop back to metabox for them to swap, you pay the difference in price for monitors as they take the panel back and 2 way delivery from Sydney is $88 + $30 labour charge. Which I will most likely do sometime next year, as I am in no rush.

I have also confirmed with Kris at Kong Computers that if you were to change the panel yourself, you will void your warranty. If you send it back to them warranty is still retained.

Kris has provided amazing customer service and their current December promos is real good! Promo #4 is best I think -Crucial M.2 480gb + 1TB 5400 hdd + 3year warranty for $169.

 

Hey kingyr, thanks for the reply

Have placed my order with Kong computers for the P650SG with the Sharp 4K screen, I understand that there maybe a 4 week delay...but in no rush, will get the most out of my P150EM in the meantime

Yes they have some great promotions on at the moment, but decided to go with Promotion #2, only reason being is that I want to get a 1TB Samsung EVO SSD in conjunction with my 500GB Samsung EVO I already have ...msy.com.au has them for a great price. Will use the crucial 240GB mSata from the promotion as my boot/windows drive

Cheers,

 

Xotic have the SG in stock now or not ?

Because the only good thing about living in Europe is....having clevos sooner than you 'ricans...

 

Mysn.de is currently testing two cards.
3G = 85€
4G = 186€
No exact Model Numbers.

 

I'm with you and waiting for the SG model as well my only decision is to either stick with my usual 15" laptop or go big with the 17" model.
Would love to have the 17" model but it seems 15" always have better screen options.I just hope the 17" model has a very good screen.

 

Nope, can't preorder/order yet (no clue if they actually have it "in stock" though). Hopefully soon though, anyone else waiting for the 17.3' version? Any news on that?

 

Look here for some news

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...sager-np8672-clevo-p670sg-owner-s-lounge.html

Hopefully we get release dates and more info soon.

 

ah, nice to see that our 17 inch brothers finally have their respective lounge

 

You meant our crappy TN bros ? ^^

I guess 17" IPS will stay an ASUS exclusivity
