    Welcome to everyone who has or is planning to order their 9280's :D

    Let me start off by saying when I get mine I will be doing a video and written review ;), I then plan on doing a custom paint/ laser etch on my 9280 because even if it is amazing it could be a little more aesthetically pleasing :)

    I'm looking forward to your guy's ideas projects or just general discussion relating to the 9280.... Welcome!

    Is this the hypothetical lounge? The system hasn't been released, so any ownership status can only be theoretical, right? :D ;)

    Fer instance, right now, not a single solitary one of the hypothetical members of this owner's lounge is experiencing any sort of trouble or problem with their systems - heck, no-one even has so much as a dead pixel to complain about! How can reality compete with that! ;)

    man shyster....im building an i7 system, nothing fancy...but if i like it allot...i may just opt out for the d900f....still waiting on confirmation of over clocking on the m980nu as well as the d900f...would be a bummer if they locked both systems....

    =MrButterBiscuits;4846255]Hey john what does it take to become a Narcissistic bench runner? lol I sware I'm a narciccist and I got skillz ;) <----you just have to be serious when testing out your system is the only requirement. any one can join and the more the merrier. once you find answers on your machines potential, be willing to share and help others find those same answer you sought out.

    Oh and is the price difference between the 940 I7 and the Extreme really justified?[/quote]
    i got the 920, but was seriously thinking about that extreme...the extreme has the 6.4 while the 920 and the 940 have the 4.8. also they ride a 2400 mhz bus while the extreme rides the 3200 mhz bus....although there seems to be a 2.93 ghz floating around on a 3200 mhz bus..that might be the happy medium for the guy that doesn't want to full out spend just yet.

    I have yet to read a single complaint from the Sager 9280 virtual reality reviews. :p

    As for reality it hasn't been released publicly yet. :eek:
    Though, you can read this to hold you over, till the reviews start flooding in. :cool:

    The Sager is a better workhorse having the i7, 3 HDD bays, 16:10, and 3x DDR3 RAM. The 280M is no slouch at gaming either, and it can be probably be upgraded down the road when the 300M series are released (MXM 3.0). The Asus has more gaming performance right now, but the GPU's probably can not be upgraded and the CPU will never touch the i7, although a QX9300 is still really good and more than enough for most people. Both are too big for me so I went with the NP5797 :rolleyes:

    again friends.... you can not compare the d900f to the w90! you can however compare it to the m980nu, since they are basically the same. and then the w90 will eat the m980nu up if it does not have fsb/cpu over clocking. it's a wrap! the m980nu will lose at everything. these are the facts....

    no over clocking...im thinking the m980nu.

    yes! it's cpu/fsb over clocked to beat a 9262 at a few test. not all but a few non the less. if it ran with just gpu over clocked...don't think it would keep up at all. ati is cpu/fsb driven. (personal opinion)

    it's all speculations here..no facts at the moment.

    If your looking for the ultimate gaming laptop then wait a few weeks for the
    Sager 9250 (M980NU). This one should be the gaming KING, if gaming is your main reason for the item.

    I'm being swayed by both the Asus W90 and the 9280 on one hand the Asus has a lot of entertainment utilities with the blu-ray and 2 hard drives already in the price and not to mention the 4870 x2 but the pure horsepower and future upgradability of the 9280 is also hard to pass by......

    All the more reason for definitive speculation - how can anyone be too confident of their own speculations when the actual ODM/OEM has spoiled everything by giving out specifics? :D :p
