Sager NP5165

[ChocKoa]

Hi, I'm deciding whether to get the Sager NP5160 or NP5165. I looked at the 5165 and I heard people say it isn't that good because of the heat and also it isn't worth the price. Is this true? Should I just get the 5160 and save my money?

Hello ChocKoa;

How much is the extra gaming performance of the GT 555 over the GT 540 worth to you?
Only you can decide if the extra $$ is worth it.

I'm not sure yet if I want to spend the extra money yet but will I have any issues with the heat? If I am going to have heat issues, then I probably will end up getting the 540 because I want this laptop to last and I just don't want to have problems with it.

The only difference between the models is the graphics card.
You're going to have heat issues with the NP5160 too. But the heat is manageable - in both laptops.
TDP (heat output) for the 540M and 555M is roughly the same.

If you want to look at other options with about the same performance as the GT 555M equipped NP5165
HP dv6tse
Dual Core i7-2620M CPU, HD 6770 graphics card and 7200rpm HDD with 1366x768 LCD screen.
