    Right now I have a Sager 9850 which has an 18.4" inch screen which I love. I am looking for a new laptop but I do not see any Sager laptops with the 18.4" screen. I would hate to go back to a 17" screen. Does anybody know if Sager is coming out with any laptops in the coming months with that screen size and possibly with 3d? I know Alienware has a new one but I am wanting a hex core cpu which it doesnt have. Thanks

    Clevo has an 18" model (the x8100), but it's not a newer Sandy Bridge chipset. It'd be up to them whether any new 18" models come out any time soon. Currently the P170HM can do 3D and with the 485m. What hex core were you looking for? None of the sandy bridge based consumer CPU's are hex core- hyperthreaded quad only. Did you want an AMD based board with the hex cores?

    Thanks for the reply. Basically I want an all the high end specs that the NP7282 offers (i7-990x, dual 485s) but with a 18" screen that can do 3D. Hopefully they will offer something like this in the near future.

    Alienware m18x is the only thing that comes close to those specs.

    Being a Toshiba Qosmio owner with a 18.4" screen, I do understand your need :D
