Hi berlow grats on the NP8662!

BTW u can easily get the plug head swapped at an electronics shop, or if u noe a EE or EEE friend it's a simple swap and the plug head can be easily purchased from a electronics shop or weekend pasar malam.

Wat's ur configuration? Care to share benchmarks and the like?

 

[harky]

[arcana75]

One thing u'll never get used to is the stiff touchpad mousebuttons. Better get a USB mouse.

finally got my 8662 lappie today at 8 pm. according to the delivery guy he still got 2 more deliveries. business is brisk.

the package came with what was promised except the power plug adaptor. disappointing. luckily i found my travel adaptor. the no name bag look el cheapo, something u might get at a family day freebie. the lappie is a bit hot under the right wrist as i type but otherwise after running for an hour on my zalman 1500 the report from HZmonitor are as follows:

No matter how i compare the prices versus the specifications against the consumer favourite models, sager laptops are still pretty expensive?

Sager is high end laptop. You would be comparing it with a Gaming Laptop . If compare to a netbook of course it expensive.

 

[Wzierbovsky]

Try finding first another non-Sager notebook with a 260M equivalent or better graphics processor.

Next - compare the price. If you can honestly finding something better + cheaper, I think a lot of people here would love to know.

[berlow]

everything that came with the $ i paid.

. no $20 challenger voucher though.

the el-cheapo laptop bag.

i opted for the q9000 with 4GB ram so the vista home premium is preinstalled 64 bit
the hitachi travelstar is a blessing as i read that this model uses less power.

the only complaint thus far is the optical drive. noisy as a bee. the humming is really loud. dunno if anyone else got this issue?

you need more research to make that statement

this thread is a proof that more and more customers who wants gaming laptops prefer sager than other brands which offer same specs and had a lot of hidden cost

 

[Chiaki]

Are you guys still intrested in the gathering?

 

[GitzJoey]

sure why not..........
but wait till the 1st page list of user ordering saged filled

Ahem... u're looking at the wrong laptops and comparing apples with oranges.

Look at Dell's or MSI's or ASUS's offerings for their 9800-series gaming laptops. For example the ASUS GT627 which is powered by a 9800GS chip. It's SGD$2.7k, $200 more than an equivalently built Sager except powered by a 260M chip which is more powerful than the 9800GS.

9800GT or GTX? Expect to pay $3k or more from those brands.

DUDE, NICE MAN!


Oh yea, you need to partition it though, can gain more performance and also since windows 7 is around the corner, partitioning can save you alot of time and effort

1st partition = Storage ( Music, videos, etc)
2nd parition = Main windows and programs


P.S Gather or not, up to the you guys lar, but any one needs help in clean setup of windows vista? IM MOST WILLING TO do during the week ends

No charges but i've got hidden agenda

*Guess*

 

[Chiaki]

[arcana75]

What prompted this surge in Sager interest from local resellers?
