    This looks like the Dual Core version of the Sager 5720 that I have been waiting for.
    Looks like they are ready to take orders but they are UK based company :(
    Hopefully a US Based company will have the US Version to come out.

    Here is the info link on the Laptop:

    That's the Clevo M570U, an updated version of the M570A (aka Sager 5720) with the Core Duo and new graphics card options, plus up to two hard drives.

    Eurocom already announced their version as well.

    Sager, Hypersonic, etc. - all the compaines that rebadge Clevo notebooks should have their own versions out when that model is released for sale, probably in April-May, not exactly sure on the timeframe.

    EDIT: I meant M570U and not M560U, thanks Kilim. ;)

    Is this the version you was telling me I should wait for ChazMan?
    Or was it another version?

    Playing games in my work PC is starting to hurt and need a new laptop soon.

    I hope they come out with a 15.4" version. 17" is nice for a desktop replacement, but way too big to take travelling, even occasionally.

    For Gaming purposes, what resolution is better?
    The standard 1680 x 1050?
    Or the upgraded 1920 x 1200?

    I have ben stuck ith ONLY 1024 x 780 and 1280 x 1024 resolution for a long time and not sure what is best for me :(

    So far this is such a sweet deal when it comes stateside :D
    Calculated it and it is definetely in my price range.

    PS:
    Did you mean M570U not M560U?

    Also I heard that they "may" have the Nvidia card option vs teh ATI card option.
    Any idea hich would be a better vid card if that option is made possible in the US Release?

    Yes, if I suggested that you wait for the updated 5720, then this is it. Expect Sager to have it in April-May, sometime around there.

    There's going to be a 15.4" version from what I have heard, called the M560U (update to the current M560A, aka Sager 5320), and it will have a Core Duo and X1600 256MB.

    All depends on what is good for your eyes. I would go with 1680x1050 because it is not much smaller than SXGA as far as text goes.

    Heh, yeah, changed it, thanks. ;)

    Yes, I believe the Go7800GTX (or, by the time it comes out, maybe the Go7900GTX, not sure yet) will also be offered as an option. It will be faster than the X1800XT.

    Hi, quick question in regards to graphic cards? Does anyone have preferences on ATI or nVidea. I really like the new cards that ATI has coming out.
