    I bought my 8150 from a Sager employee, he buys them and resells them. It was pre-configured with BR. But all my movies are dvd, and I watch them on my big screen, not on my lappy. I bought a caddy so I could put my hdd in it and a SSD where my hdd was. PM me if you would like to work out a deal to exchange the dvd for the BR, although I am not sure if this is against forum rules. If so, someone let me know, and I will try this in the buy/sell part of the site. Pay me the $50 it cost for the caddy and I will be darn happy to exchange.

    Will it work in the NP8150?
    It Looks good, can I get ANY blu ray burner or does it have to be compatible with the laptop?

    I don't know which ones will work, but this came in my NP8150, but I removed it to put a hdd in a caddy, and put a ssd in the hdd slot. It is the Sager stock BR drive.
