Hi,
I would have thought that Sager would be widely known here and a small lounge thread would at least be created.
Amusingly, none exists on HWZ here, so I made this small-ish one here, so we, the minority notebook users can chit-chat and help each other with minor problems (Where the solution is like, restart PC or update BIOS or drivers or cleaning the insides of our *ahem* investments. )
Ppl who want to know more about how to get one themselves and what the shipping costs may be who the heck are Sager can come and post a question, hopefully answered within a day. (There seems to be an influx of "Is Sager that good?" or "Should I order through reseller or direct off manufacturer?" questions recently, which is messing up the forum a little, heheh) Also, before posting, please read this FAQ thread also: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=264311 so general questions can already be addressed.
....Also.....
Sager notebook users of Singapore, here's your chance to show off your notebooks! Post your specs and the year you purchased it (Sager models are replaced quite fast don't ya'll think?). If you want to, we would also like to know your purchase experience and your line of work too!

My review:
Sager NP9262 (Clevo D901C):
17" WUXGA "Glare Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright Glossy Screen (1920x1200)
Intel Core 2 QUAD Q9650 3.0GHz w/ 12MB L2 Cache - 1333MHz FSB
nVidia Quadro FX3700M 1,024MB PCI-Express DDR3 DX10
4,096MB DDR2 800MHz (2 SODIMMS) Dual Channel Memory
3x 500GB 5400RPM (Serial-ATA II 300 - 8MB Cache) (Total 1.5TB) in RAID 0
Panasonic UJ Blu-Ray ReadWrite Super Multi DVD+/ -R/RW BD-R/RE Dual Layer Burner
Smart Li-ion Battery (12 Cell)
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit Installed (Soon to be Windows 7!)
Year of Purchase:
2009
Purchase Experience:
I purchased mine from XoticPC and the service there was (and still is) excellent. They will reply to your queries within the day, during working hours. For example, the one of the staff there, Justin Woitte was ready to help in literally every question I threw at him, from whether I could squeeze another Quadro inside the NP9262 (Don't ask ) to the Telegraphic Transfer application details.
I ordered through UPS and had to pay the 7% GST by cash. Didn't have the cash ready on original delivery date, so had to say bb to the package just sitting 1 metre away for a few days (Heart pain ) But got reunited with it in the end! Just in time for start of work!
EDIT: Ah, also, people who wish to buy Sagers from US, please learn from my mistake of assuming the 3-pin plugs we know and love are used worldwide! The 3-pin plug supplied by XoticPC was only tailored for US power sockets only, so you may have to buy an extra plug or pin adaptor (Is it called that?).
Line of Work:
