    I suppose it's time we get our very own lounge, with the NP8660's beginning to ship tomorrow (Woohoo), We can have a fresh thread to place all our info on. You Clevo M860TU Owners can post here also :p

    Heres a link to My Official M860TU Review

    Heres a few things we can respond to:
    • What was your first impression when you opened that box? :biggrin: or :eek:
    • What was your First download/installed program?
    • Did you notice any problems? :cool: or :mad:
    • Likes/Dislikes :) or :(
    • System Specs?
    • Is it everything you hoped it would be? :GEEK:


    I'm sure it wont be too long before we get some 3dmark06 scores and benchmarks, System, CPU, and GPU Temps. Post some screen shots displaying your favorite games FPS.

    If you got a modded lid, skin or p a in t job, post some pics for us.
    And if you have any questions about your new lappy, feel free to ask, and surly someone here will be able to help.

    Yeah this thread should be renamed to M860TU Owners Lounge or recreated with that title if it can't be renamed to include those who didn't order a Sager model.

    Considering that this is the Sager slash Clevo forum, would it not be prudent to change the thread title to "Official M860TU Owners Lounge" ?

    I bet you can sell the first M860TU pictures on Ebay for $$$. Because there is very limited pictures on the web right now about M860TU.

    And other people will simply post their pictures and reviews on NBR.com and nobody will buy them exept if you have the power to make a cartel with the few thousands of M860TU owners.

    Sorry to destroy your dream. :p

    And the first user at NBR receives his M860TU laptop.

    Congratulations Chunghwa, you receive a prize

    [​IMG]

    Now for the daunting task of checking the beast out and telling us in exact detail how it is. Or you could just be away from the forums for a very long time whilst enjoying your laptops and making us wish we had it :)

    your choice :D

    =O Grats! I don't suppose you'd mind writing up some initial impressions and putting up a few pics? I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by all the salivating preorders that are still waiting on theirs =P

    I find it hilarious that when u enroll ur finger in the biometric finger sensor, they say, we highly recommend that you enroll more than one finger in the event of an injury. ><

    those 2 pics are the M860TU resting on top of the NC1000. It overhangs a bit but seems fine. While installing drivers and such, the laptop has gotten a bit warm. No battery in atm

    Adding a bit more here, The fan noise is not a problem at all. i had to put my ear to the laptop to hear the noise

    First problem noted; Stuck pixel on top right of screen. I dunt care much to send back, i suppose ill tinker around a bit

    I guess i should post my specs so here;
    P9500
    4GB Ram
    320Gb @ 7200
    Vista Business 64
    Intel Turbo thingy
    umm... what else ><

    @ posting laptop under stress perhaps ill do it l@r cuz i have to leave soon for a friends house but ill answer any other quick qs

    According to a certain Paladin here, you technically aren't supposed to have the laptop, you must be dreaming, in fact, this would make the pictures a mere photoshop. :D

    Gratz. I hope u got a better camera than your cell phones. If not i think its time to invest in one just for the Notebookreview crew. Looks awsome from what i can see. cant wait to see some benchmarking.

    p.s- Whats that blue light on the lid when it was closed? The logo lights up?

    I think when I get mine I would be busy installing all the software including the following:

    1) Windows XP
    2) Linux
    3) Office 2007
    4) Solidworks
    5) Matlab
    6) Photoshop
    7) Firefox
    8) WinRAR
    9) Maybe Mathmatica
    10) Flash, realplayer, java, quicktime, etc
    11) 3DMark6
    12) Open office for Linux

    Remind me if I forgot something

    I got some ideas for you for taking good pictures.

    Do you have a big mirror? You can use the camera on your M860TU to take a picture of itself using mirror.
