    They usually are close to launch as resellers get their stock in and ship the first few out.

    Apparently there'll be a review from this guy in the short term: (this is a link to a comment, can't stop it from turning into a video) . I'm also pretty tempted, but holding off for reviews.

    Reposting from the P960EP6 thread as that one kind of turned into the P960Ex thread:
    Manual \ Drivers from Sager for anyone doing a fresh Windows install like me:
    P960ED
    P960EF
    P960EN

    The one missing is the fingerprint sensor driver, which it says to contact Sager for...
    @Meaker@Sager - Is this something we can get a link for here, or should we go through Sager support?

    Instructions from @Specv89 on how to take the bottom cover off: (abridged version)

    1. Remove ALL screws on the bottom

    2. On the underside center of the laptop under the keyboard area you'll see a small symbol of a keyboard kinda at an angle right next to a screw hole its a little hard to explain but it's easy to spot.

    3.Once you have all the bottom screws off flip the laptop on its side and open the screen as far back as it goes kinda like an obtuse angle so it can sit on its side.

    4. Using your screw driver poke the hole of that screw hole (with the symbol) to push up on the keyboard. As you are doing that you'll notice the keyboard up top slightly coming up and off (don't need much pressure just enough to get a sturdy credit card under the top center edge of the keyboard while you're pushing the screwdriver through the hole under the keyboard).

    5. Once you get the credit card in place the keyboard tabs should pop up to disengage the keyboard
    **Note that once you get at least one tab off you can keep the credit card in place and lay the laptop back down - no need to keep it on its side as you are pulling up on the keyboard

    **No need to disconnect the ribbon cable just slide it up slightly to see the black screws.

    6. Once you remove all the screws on the bottom and one screw on the far right center, put the keyboard keyboard in place but don't snap it in. close the lid and flip the laptop over again.

    7. Pull up on the back center where the exhaust fans are and you'll notice the tabs come loose you'll start to hear the tabs come loose all around the edges.

    **Note that the whole bottom half comes off as one piece. All the screws are identical so no need to separate them just put them in a small cup or something.
