The "Official" IFL90 Shipping/Waiting Thread

i bought this. it's a very big, and kind of heavy backpack, but it does feel good. however, i have not actually been able to test it with a laptop yet, just books.

I'll have to check with my companies distributor but we may be able to get these compal FL90 and IFL90. I'm fairly certain we can get FL90 atm but not sure on the IFL90. Currently we deal mainly in Asus VBI & CBB notebooks (i.e. Asus s96s and such).

So mine will prolly def be in the next shipment.

i guess it's a little more definite.

 

Well from your sig, you got an IFL-90. This recent shipment was Sager NP2090s only; Sager secured their IFL-90 whitebooks quite well and that's why many of us are receiving it now. Let's hope that IFL-90 shipments are coming in soon for you guys, too!

 

Well mine was an IFL90 and it will be here tomorrow so who knows.

 

Well guys, the waiting queue for the Sager NP2090 shrinked by 1 today since I canceled my order for a WXGA one from Powernotebooks. I opted to switch to buying a Asus S96S which isn't as nice of a deal, but in healthy supply. It doesn't seem likely that Sager will be getting another shipment of WXGA laptops this week. I really want my laptop by end of next week for a business trip, so my sales guy at PNB advised switching to another brand / model.

I hope the Asus S96S is worth the extra money. I think I can live with a Geforce 8600m GS since I probably won't be gaming that much on the new laptop.

Good luck to those still waiting!

 

Yeah I have also removed myself from the PNB queue for a IFL-90 WXGA+ in order to get an Asus S96S shipped to me next week.

Comparing the two systems, I downgraded to a 8600GS and lost a fingerprint-reader, but have received $300+ back and a definite shipping date.

After waiting for a bunch of months, I'm happy with what I'll be getting. The overall timing for the IFL90 was just unlucky as I see it; maybe next time.

 

The tracking that I received says that it is out for delivery today! (even though it's estimated arrival time was Friday) Anyone want pics or a review?

 

i wangt both, but a live video reiview!!

 

I found that carrying my laptop in a case with a handle caused tendonitis. In a backpack with books it might be quite a strain over time. I ended up getting one of these which helped a lot:

MOVING PICTURES WITH SOUND!?! You sir are insane to think such a magic device exists.

 

I know, i have come with divine thought.

 

Mine is here. In a surprising little box. Looks great!

I have a meeting, I'll report more later.

 

Did you get the power pro or the sager? Still nothing from powernotebooks here, checked my email and my confirmation was the last day of may for the powerpro

 

Donsell's is the power pro

 

Did Donsell order from Xotic or Powernotebooks?

I'm still waiting. as many of you know I ordered June 4th.

Sent an email to Ron at PNB yesterday and he had no new news for me. None.

I called Xotic to inquire about the G1S and talked to Rich. He said that the next IFL90 (non Sager) shipment MIGHT come in next week, maybe. Or it could be the week after that (week of the 13th). If that is the case mine probably will not be here until the end of August at the earliest.

Unbelievable.

Edit: Oopps..I see it was a PowerPro, which is a PNB. Ron did tell me that I just missed out on that first shipment (I would have thought Donsell would have got his over a week ago though) but I am definitely one of the first orders to be filled if they ever get their next shipment.
Should I get an Asus V1S now or what? Wondering what I should do.

 

I feel your pain brother, join the struggle

 

Donsell, glad to hear you got yours.

You've been waiting for a while, hope you enjoy it.

 

oopsie....double post.

 

I ordered July 19th. I keep hoping that It'll be here before I leave for school on the 22nd but things keep looking worse and worse. I really wanted the WSXGA screen though

 

I lose my work laptop on Monday. So ill be without a laptop for a few weeks it looks. Its not going to be easy.

 

I ordered from PowerNotebooks very early. They got a very few last week and I snuck in on that shipment. Believe me, I understand how much it sucks to wait.

Initial impressions are good. The matte screen is great. No bad pixles or light leakage at all. With all the reports of bad screens on the Dells and the Asus i was concerned.

Keyboard is in the middle. Some flex - but not as bad as my old Compaq.

I seems small and light. Again - coming from a Compaq R3000 there is a huge difference.

More when I get Vista installed

 

and no new news on the alleged shipment that sager was going to received this week

 

I'm at a dilemma whether to install XP or Vista. I mean I could dual boot in the long run but I've heard of Vista having a lot of driver problems and the like.

 

I think its the 64 bit version of Vista that has driver problems. Support for the 32 version is pretty good.

 

64 bit windows in general suffer(s/ed) from driver problems. But you should be fine as long as you're not trying to plug in old hardware that needs specific drivers.

 

Alas, this lappie has its own body count (currently 2)

Those of you who received your Sager 2090, I demand a review, o and pictures are nice too! *shakes fist and drools with jealousy*

 

I still haven't recieved any shipping information. I e-mailed Justin. I hope I get it soon.

 

me too lamp. just wondering, do you live in california?

 

Nope. Michigan

 

I understand there isn't much concrete information on the IFL90 status, but does anyone know the ETA of a PNB IFL90 ordered July 9th? After hearing that people who ordered early - mid June haven't received theirs, I'm getting a bit worried.

 

I get home from work today to find a lovely note that there was no one present to sign for the package So I called up UPS and I am supposed to go down there to pick it up in about an hour and 15 minutes. That means that there might be an initial review and pics by me tonight.

 

I ordered on the 22nd of June, and I was told last week I am most likely in the second shipment, somewhere in the middle-ish area of the overall list. I'm calling tomorrow to see if anything has changed, because I'm running out of time [not patience]

 

I got a response from Xotic. Apparently its still under testing. They've been testing for a week now supposedly. Thats some thorough testing.

 

Probably near the end of september or later. Same as some of those who ordered in may.

 

where did you get your info Kyv??? You got me worried now b/c I ordered yesterday and I'm planning to fly to NY from Canada to pickup first wk of Sept...

 

I said probably, some of us ordered over 60 days ago and still have no info. If you just ordered yesterday... I imagine it will be awhile.

 

I ordered mine June 16th or about their, and was told I will most likely be in the next shipment.

Not sure how many people ordered it in between me and yourself.

I would say throw someone at PNB an email about an idea of what shipment you may be in and when.

They have very good staff, that tries their best to give a good time. But sadly it seems to be Compal itself recently leading to the back-ups.

Hope we all get ours soon. :]

 

I think its safe to ignore Kyv. If you guys are wondering when yours will ship, dont ask it in here if you want any real information. Look for posts from Donald or Justin, or give your sales rep a call. Although they dont always have information, or information you want to hear, they always respond pretty quickly and have all been honest from my perspective.

Also, look at the Sager forum and see how quick they burned through the dates of pre-orders, all its going to take is one big shipment and we will all be happy campers.

 

I ordered mine June 11. Still waiting...

I spent all evening and night downloading drivers and getting everything working. Right now I am trying to get some clocks from rivatuner. This is exhausting XD

rivatuner gives me 513/1026. Is that good?

 

Very nice


Pics! Haha

 

Weren't people saying it was at 400 not 513? Thats without an overclock right? That's better then expected then

Now if only they would get another shipment.... I really don't want to have to figure out some way to get it from my house to the college after I'm up there.

 

Well I ordered my laptop on July 8th (Confirmed July 10), and last week I wanted to cancel my order. But when I sent Justin, from XoticPC, an e-mail canceling my order, he told me not to because he said they received my laptop and are testing them. So they must have our laptops but are still in testing. We should see them ship probably next week hopefully.

 

Did you order Force or Sager?

 

Got my 2090 right next to me. I brought a XP disc (service pack 1) with me to work, but now I'm getting a blue screen when trying to install windows xp. On the screen it gives me the long error and it seems it's pci.sys that's messed up? I think the fix is to get a XP SP2 disc and install that. Which I can't do because I'm at work

Nevermind I found this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=132687

 

So if I ordered a powerpro from PNB on July 16, do you think they might have mine too, or I might be right at the front of the next shipment?

 

you have to remember that there might be more people that ordered from pnb compared to xotic or anything like that so call your retailer.

 

to justin: i want to order the sager 2090 with wsxga+ from xoticpc with shipping to canada; the problem is i desperately need it by the end of august; is there any chance to get it by then?

 

daemmon, call xotic or email them. (Calling is probably faster.)
