And will they listen?

I know everyone has been asking for the backlit keyboards, which would practically make Sager the king of gaming laptops being that it's one of the only few Con's it has.

Only other thing I think they could do is change the symbol for the volume down, looks WAY too similar to the volume up button.

On another note...

Have had this 8130 for a lil over a week now. No dead/stuck pixels, screen quality is amazing (feel sad that I didn't upgrade to the blu-ray, I would have DEFINITELY used it on this laptop), the sound is impeccable (the best I have ever had on a laptop bar none), boots up quickly even without a SSD (this is with all of my programs loaded on here), keyboard's responsive (although even with my big hands it feels a little spaced out, but nothing terrible and a welcome change from the crimped up m11x keyboard), the touchpad although used infrequently is actually not half bad (anyone complains about the touchpad and uses it for gaming, I would love to see how they do in a FPS, hell I would love to see anyone play a conventional game using a touchpad lol).

P.S. - The look of the Sager, being a subdued black with slightly brushed metal, would be perfect for a Tron styled lighting effect going around the laptop. This could be an option for those wanting "eye candy" on their laptop, gaining sales lost from those who think Sager is too dull.

EDIT: Confirmed that we will have backlit keyboards next CPU refresh. :D

We're one of Sager's best resellers out there. I'm sure they'll lend us an ear. However, I don't believe the ball is really in Sager's court as much as it is Clevo. I would highly suggest writing some feedback for them: http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/about/worlds_s.asp

Hopefully with the refresh around the corner, Clevo has put together some amazing barebones components.

Edit: Also, I kid you not when I say we've got some crazy aesthetic mods coming to the market soon, so your Tron laptop may actually be viable. ;)

Sounds good. I am a major fan of backlit keyboards.

O wow crazy keyboard mods hmm? This sounds amazing. Now the only thing holding me back is no automotive paint option yet. If I can just get a blue NP8150 with a red keyboard..... This sounds too good to be true. Any ETA on when the facility will be opening up? I know someone said around Xmas right? As long as it's before May I don't care.

The Clevo guy looks so scared.

I thought it was a joke at first, but wow, that guy should have taken his Public Speaking 101 class. That's a horrid rep for credible laptop company. Oh well, if they save money on using him instead of an expensive suave rep, I won't mind since the savings pass on to me lol.

Exactly. That guy is probably some builder that works in the darkest depths of the Clevo dungeons and they probably slapped a suit on him and said, "Go get'm, tiger!"

Kidding. But hopefully when the refresh rolls around, we'll be able to get some hi-res photos of the backlit keyboards.

Are there any clues as to when this refresh might happen? I keep hitting F5 but always get the same models available! I kid, but seriously, though, I'm looking to buy *very* soon, but I will wait a bit if there are going to be more options available soon...and +1 to y77...pix?
