    I think I feel my wallet lighter already. :p
    Ordered from PowerNotebooks. I keep my word; I said I'd order from Donald, and I did. (for those who remember the "proof" thread. ;) )

    I already have more Ram, so that's why only 512. And I own a copy of Win XP Pro from a now busted lappy. :)
    Now the agony of anticipation!!! argh!!

    I have personally seen that Sager, and you won't be dissapointed. It's a sweet rig. Make sure to pop in another 512MB ram when it arrives. Good choice, glad you did something different and didn't get a e1705/M1710, which seem to be really popular...

    Thanks all. I'm looking forward to getting this... just have to not think about it too much or the wait will kill me. hehe
    I'll be putting a 1 gig stick in it for a total of 1.5G Ram.

    And yes, it's not a Dell. That was one of my key requirements for a new laptop. :)

    Nice, Elm!! Your reactions to opening your 5760 bring back memories of first opening my dearly departed 5720.

    Congrats and enjoy!!!

    I remember when i got my sager 8790, and I was taking pictures of it at work, ... Pictures of it, IN the box, Out of the box, top, bottom.. ect.. My co workers thought I was high on crack or somthing. They just dont get it.. they are the kind of people who think all computers are the same, and every computer is a Dell or HP or Gateway... In the end, its whatever floats your boat.... This time around, when i got my 5760, I didnt take pictures of it as i took it out of the box, but i did take pictures of Before and After of when i took out the tv tuner card that i ended up sending back to sager. Also took pictures of what the laptop looks with the HP express card TV tuner card I have for it that works with MCE. :) YA to all the new 5760 owners.. :D
