NP8268 Reflex notebooks

Just got the NP8268 ($1950) and I am fairly happy. Needed it to run AutoCAD Civil 3D, renders great and other engineering design software (Watergems, StormCAD, Pile software) all high intense calculations and simulations software. The laptop is a brick, especially the power adapter however, I did not buy for looks, I needed a power house that was reasonably priced with Windows 7 as all the programs I needed are not compatible with 8. It was delivered with no extra costs and I would recommend them for any future engineering student or professional engineer that are on a budget and cant affored a lenovo W540 ($2200 plus with same options) or a dell precision $$$$$$$$.

They may more directed to autocad but you pay a premium professional price for those. I found a mid point between a laptop that was found at any store which would be painfully slow for rendering and cheap or the ridiculous fast and expensive.

My only downfall was I did cheap out and get the 128 SSD, should of gotten the 256 as I have had the laptop for a few days and I've almost filled it with all the software I use!

So far everything is great, no crappy software pre-installed, boots up in about 17 seconds (windows 7 pro). Specs below:

Total price at the end of the day :$1918.37
it took 10 days to build/ship out from California and 6 days to get to my door in Edmonton but UPS Standard doesn't deliver Saturday/Sunday so i had to wait till Monday so it would of been 4 days if they shipped it a few days earlier!

 

Glad you are happy with your new notebook, aren't SSDs wonderful? They make such a difference

 

these sager/clevo's would have another mSata slot in them, if I'm not mistaken. Cause i know my W230SS has (2) mSata slots. Which is super convenient when you want more space.

And as a telecomm student/casual gamer a 256g mSata was a must, I currently have all the software I need for school (vmare, gns3, wireshark, netbeans, notepad++... etc and all running smoothly) plus some steam games, I only have 97GB out of the (actual) 237GB. AND plus I have the HD that came with it which is 1T.

And my SSD loads up < 10s
