**D900F (Sager 9280) Owners Lounge**

Well we really won't now for sure until someone actually gets their hands on a released 9280, some pre-production models, like test models dont allow for them

 

now this is the answer ill waiting for... i found the review before as well, thats it i choose sager np9280 rather than Asus w90... thnx man for the post

 

In relation to the above post, ATI cards will always do well in benchmarks as they are more optimised for progs like 3DMark06. Similarly Nvidia cards will generally do better in games, not always of course but Nvidia drivers are much much better than ATI - they evolve their drivers more and work with game developers much more than ATI do. Crysis runs better on Nvidia cards full stop so it's not surprising that a single 280M with i7 CPU does pretty well vs 4870s.

 

I'm sorry i forgot to answer that Mrbutterbiscuits...I have to make a new one it wont switch over...

 

hope that i will be reading a review on np9280 at the end of this month ...
as soon as the review reports positive result over the asus wp90 , i'll order this beast immediately
but for now, i have to enjoy my ready-to-throw-away laptop

 

You guys forget that Crysis is totally optimized for nvidia? lol.

 

consider this way...

1.Sager have 1 GB VGA single card and Asus had 2 512 Vga card (2GPU) but
remember not all games can read SLI,Crosfire

2.Sager have 3 MP camera, Asus have 2 MP

3.Sager have an option 3 bay hard disk and raid option, Asus had 2 only no
option.

4.Sager have i7 , Asus had Quad Core

 

im gonna have to dissagree...crysis is pretty much good for both cards... check out some of the crysis benchmarks ran through out the nbr forums... maybe before the patching and all, but now... they are pretty much right there...all but the 3870's.

 

1. Memory of the GPU doesn't have that much meaning, unless you use extremely high settings.

2. Both laptop has 2mp webcam.

3. You can do raid on both.

 

I believe what mupet747 trying to say were:
1. W90 support SLI/CF, D901F doesn't, but not all games support SLI/CF anyway. Score: 1-1
2. W90 have 2MP camera, D901F have 3MP. Score: 1-2 for D901F.
3. W90 can only do RAID-0/1/0+1, but D901F can also do that plus RAID-5. Score: 1-3 for D901F.

PS: AFAIK, D901F does use 3MP camera. M980NU on the other hand still use 2MP. CMIIW...

 

Who cares about webcam?

 

all those people in college trying to look at each other and get them to undress...that's who..lol
and there are a bunch of them floating around here. matter of fact...not just them either...

 

The "what" and the "why" of life never change - just the "how!"

 

LOL...... you crack me up John.

 

1.So, not having a second card, yet still get the point? A single 4870 ought to be close to 280m GTX, at very least; a pair of them ensure that you get at least the single card performance when game doesn't support multipe GPUs; and when there is support, it should scale well.

2.where did you read that? by default there is 2mp. anything extra costs premium. In theory, having more pixels in the same space could be asking for trouble; though would have to wait and see.

3.He didn't say anything about Raid 5. Though having more than one HDD is good, and tripple HDD is a plus.

Anyhow, those two machines are targeted at different people. One for workstation environment, with sufficent gaming power, and another more for gaming & entertainment.

 

on that note would anyone know which of the two would process and edit video better?

 

D900F is the ultimate mobile encoding machine

 

The Core i7's in the D900F will be nice to run PhysX off of.

 

ok ! i'm in love with the d900f now.
i'm currently living in California, USA, so which seller should i look for ? which store offer the best price and fast shipping to CA ?
one more thing, if i order one from the store you recommend right now, what is the estimated time arrival

 

read the Clevo Guide

 

wwwhhhaaaoooo ... in love with a D900f ???

you dont mean you want to mate with the puter are you ???

 

Well, D901F have 2 holes (RJ-11 and RJ-45). The RJ-11 is smaller than RJ-45, so it does resemble something perfectly

 

hahahaha ...

 

Cant wait!!!

 

Did some one say "off course?" Or was that "of course"??

 

so no one has this np9280 yet?
i am so close to order one myself but i want to see some reviews(stability, performance, bettery life, temperature, benchmark etc) first b4 i make decision. if it doesn't meet my expectation i am willing to wait one more year for octacore + dx11 card equipped model.

 

I completely agree, Im going to wait and see what Alienware has to offer and then see some reviews and information

 

I'm waiting into the new W90's batch, D900F reviews, M980NU reviews, the new alienware... Looks that i will have a long way till take a decision lol.

 

I wan't a good gaming 17", I dont plan on going bigger, and it has to be upgradeable (especially GPU) Will do dual's but a single card like the 280m will be fine, has to have a solid cooling system, and I want it to look pretty stylish, that is the one reason I haven't ordered my Sager 9280 yet... and if I do I'm going to have it painted and have some laser etching done

 

If you keep waiting, you will wait forever.

Technology progresses fast and new stuff always is appearing in the horizon.

 

ur so rigt my friend.... im planning to buy since last 2 month...but when u click the order button..another laptop will coming end of month...siiishhhh....it will never end..but ill wait until 9280 n thats it...doesn't want to look further more...enough for gaming,rendering and off crs runs 3 Virtual machine

 

Your Signature says you have one on order?

 

is clevo gonna release BIOS update for window 7
i really hate vista

 

I don't think Windows 7 needs BIOS update. If so, I will hate Windows 7 more than Vista

 

Windows 7 runs fine on all current models, so no BIOS update needed.

 

Sorry let me change my SIG, I was going to order... and I probably still am... But I'm holding off until I see some reviews, and what other choices I have seeing as Alienware has announced their new line

 

Yeah I'm already used to the waiting game lol.

I'm gonna wait the reviews and thats it (i can't wait much more anyway because I'm like... computerless lol)

 

well now...that's why i can wait...i have about 10 of them floating around...
wonder if the new models are going to be as problematic as the asus is....

 

Well at least Clevo is posting drivers for the D900F. Good sign.
http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/download/ftpOut.asp?Lmodel=D900F&ltype=9&submit=+GO+

 

have a bad felling it will have delays on this baby

 

they both could be just as problematic as well...hope they wait it out before putting it out...if they haven't resolved any unforeseen issues yet.

 

We could all sit here and speculate to our hearts content and it really won't change reality when the laptop is released.
Every little known fact of the laptop right now, is just the part of the iceberg above water. No one really knows how deep the iceberg really goes and what it really looks like...

...Now I need ice-cream, dang it, need better analogies.

 

Ok ummm... You can look at the rabbit hole as long as you want, but you will never know how deep it is unless you go in

 

This was posted on another site from a guy who bought from Exotic PC...

"I wanted to give you an update that I just found out about. The ETA on the 9280 will be closer to the end of May. There is an unreleased change that they are making that will be worth waiting a few extra days for. I will fill you in as soon as everything is released officially and I can say more."

Anybody know what they are changing?..damn sure hope it's something that it has something to do with dual graphics...haha

 

Probably Drivers... but we can hope...we can hope

 

We need a miracle

 

that would be sweet!!!

Those resellers know what it is...Surely would have to be more than drivers wouldn't ya think?

But i guess it could be though...SLI sounds better than drivers...I can download them myself

 

The resellers almost certainly do know whatever this supersecret change is; however, they are also under draconian NDA provisions that, if violated, would mean that their business would get shot at with the economic equivalent of that nice little peashooter in your avvie.

 

Well... Sometime ago i was talking with a CLEVO reseller and he told me this:

Redeemer = D900F

Who knows, who knows...

 

Yep, And is still on Clevo's website that 9280 is supporting SLI(well as of yesterday anyway).
