Ordered a NP6870 directly from Sager

So I ended up with the system below. After I placed the order they gave me a call to confirm that I knew the screen was a pre-order and it would mean my system wouldn't ship out immediately. I appreciated that.

I'll update once there's more developments.

- 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Processor ( 6MB Smart Cache, 2.80GHz)
- 17.3" Full HD IPS Matte Display (1920 x 1080) Pre-Order! (ETA: 02/02/2017)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU with 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory / Optimus Technology
- Stock Standard Thermal Compound
- Windows® 10 Home 64-Bit Edition Preinstalled
- 16GB Dual Channel DDR4 SDRAM at 2400MHz - 2 X 8GB [+$70.00]
- 512GB SanDisk X400 Series SATA3 Solid State Disk Drive [+$145.00]
- Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 M.2 AC Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Module [+$15.00]

 

That's a nice touch to just make sure you are aware. Congrats on the new system. Let us know what you think when it arrives!

 

Thanks!

I'm upgrading from a 5 year old i3 with 14 inch display and integrated gpu, so I'm kind of excited to see how awesome this new laptop experience is going to be.

 

Oh yeah, that is going to be a huge upgrade. You should like it when it arrives!

 

Just got an email that my laptop was shipped, eta Tuesday 1/31. It's still days away but I'm already refreshing the tracking page for some weird reason. I'm really excited to finally receive this new laptop.

 

Enjoy the massive upgrade! I know that feeling from a few years ago

 

Do let us know how you like your Sager! I'm thinking of ordering an NP6872 (same notebook but with 1050 Ti) in the next few days and I want to know what it's like. Battery life, screen clarity, fan noise, etc. I hope you like it not just for your sake but for mine too

 

I will, definitely. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow!

 

Wow, that is about the biggest upgrade you can get. Very exciting!

 

It's now 6:50pm on day of delivery and I'm feeling pretty disappointed it hasn't shown up yet. I even took the day off work to make sure I was here to sign for it.

 

That's such a shame! I once had a package show up at around 11 PM, and stuff usually gets delivered here around 8 PM, so don't lose hope! I'll try to take mine's delivery day off school but with my luck it'll fall on the day of some huge test

EDIT: Lol, I just clicked the link in the email and thought this was the thread I created a few minutes ago!

 

Got it!

It's late and I gotta be up for work in the morning so I can't really try out anything fancy right now. I'll run it through some stuff in the next couple of days and report back. But so far the screen is giving me goosebumps, it's such nice quality. It's huge, and so sharp and the colors are really crisp and the black is actually black.

 

Just to wrap this thread up. No complaints with regards to customer service with Sager. There wasn't as much communication as I expected, considering the amount of money - but given that everything went smooth that's not a knock or anything. In my excitement I was eager to receive updates about how the build was going, or even expecting them to up-sell me on stuff that made sense but the only update I received was that it shipped + tracking nr.

Two thumbs up, either way.
