Build times!

Just got done playing BF3 on your's for about an hour, games like a champ

Might make it out tomorrow

 

I'm tempted. Still have to make it out of exam season first

 

That service sounds awesome, but they are just soooo much higher than Xotic and Malibal...........I just priced out a P150EM and Myth was a full $300 more expensive (ik they include the past and calibration for free but that's only ~80). I'm still on the fence of who to purchase from and Myth has some great reviews, but I don't know if I can justify that much extra to myself or more importantly the fiance!

 

One thing that made Mythlogic more competitive for me was that my bank charged an absurd fee for wire transfers, so I was going to forgo the "cash discount" anyway. Also, some of Mythlogic's system upgrades appeared to be cheaper than the competitors, so the value of their system seemed to increase as you added some of the upgrades.

 

Now that's what I call QA!

 

But does it run Crysis?

 

Mine's just sitting as processed with Malibal; 675M cards have been delayed until next week...*le sigh* I was so hoping to get it before I went to Canada. Oh well! Guess it'll be here when I get back. Couple of weeks longer with my silly first gen i7

 

First impressions. I havent gamed an immense amount yet but with the amount I have so far...

Comfortable on the lap.
Definately not loud at all.
Did not get hot, but I do have it on a zalman laptop cooler.
The weight is great and definately manageable.
I have the 95% matte screen and the colors seem to be more vibrant when compared to a typical non-95% screen.
The LCD is extremely bright and of higher quality than any other screen I have used.
No dead pixels and no stuck pixels.
Gaming on the 675M is a pleasure and flawless.
I like the keyboard quite a bit except some keys are in odd places. E.g., Delete key and arrow keys.
I put in my Intel X-25 160GB SSD into the main slot and the default 500GB drive into the optical slot and threw Win 7 Ultimate on. The driver DVD seems to do a satisfactory job, they could refine it more and have it do a more automated install with auto hardware detection.

Driver support for the 675M could be a bit better. It almost seems the 675M is more like a red-headed step child at this point.

Driver support for everything is is more than satisfactory.

Overall, I'd give this a 10 out of 10 in comparison to other laptops I have owned. Asus G73JH and another laptop that was a best "bang for the buck" performance vs price (Gateway) from 4-5 years ago.

Diablo III tomorrow...can't wait.

 

It's a fun job.

Case in point

My P150EM still hasn't entered production yet, and I ordered it on the 29th... I'm pretty sure it's hung up on the GPU, but will you be building everything else before that arrives?

 

Yea we are just waiting to get more GPU's, we are going to get some GPU's this week for sure, so it will be quite soon! =) We don't like making anyone wait anymore than they have to, but we are beholden to getting things in like everyone else Trust me we wish we had the magic "give us 100 of everything" button.

 

Oh good. I hope I can get it by the end of the school year, otherwise I'll have to wait all summer to show it off.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, as I build simple games in my free time and should have something impressive ready by then

 

Ordered mine on May 8th from Mythlogic and currently in the summoning phase!

 

Good update now I REALLY can't wait to get mine in.

 

My system should be at Powernotebooks today (fingers crossed). Hopefully it will have a fast turnaround time with there modifications. I paid extra for one day shipping so it should be here fast when there done.

I will do a complete write up review on the forums when it comes in. I was going to do an unboxing video but it doesn't look like I will have the time because of school and work next week and I'm not waiting an extra week to unbox the notebook just to make a video

Any other lucky recipients make a video yet?

 

I can't wait much longer for my lappy to come

 

Ordered mine, May 5th; order went in on May 14th (5 days?), now expecting it to be shipped late this coming week. I got my last laptop in 2 weeks, this is taking a month. Super awesome!

 

Expecting delivery tomorrow per UPS. I will let you guys know.

 

Interesting. Ordered mine on May 7 and it's still at "Pre-Order" status. I'm all paid up, too. Is yours with the 7970M?

 

Might wanna double check that, i'm working on your laptop right now

 

Ordered mine on May 6th and it was shipped on the 14th. It arrived in four days.

I switched to 7970m today and now my estimated arrival time is 2, maybe 3 weeks.

 

I ordered my system on 04/11, and I'm in a pre-order status. Come on 7970m's, quit prolonging my build time

I did switch from SB & 675m to IB & 7970m, so the 04/11 date is a tad misleading. BUT, it sure doesn't feel misleading! I need a support group...

 

I thought that's where we were!

 

THEN SUPPORT ME!

 

^ Support! I need some in return though hahah

 

Welp, I ordered my Sager NP9170 w/ Ivy Bridge and 7970m on April 30th, and this morning I saw the finest three words a man could possibly see on his UPS tracking page....

OUT FOR DELIVERY

^_____________________^

It is a beautiful, gorgeous, early summer day.... the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, my cat is purring, and I've even got the day off specifically so I can wait in blissful happiness for the UPS man to make his long-fated much-awaited delivery.

Good luck in the battle, my fellow gents. I must give some very special props to xoticpc for an absolutely UNREAL turnaround time, getting this laptop to me in the deep throes of launch month in *exactly* three weeks. If that's not a helluva feat, I dunno what is. Thank YOU, xoticpc.

 

We're here for you, MrLost. We know that feel

 

Ordered my 9150 from Xotic on May 7th, hoping for good news early this week. The wait is killer.

 

ordered 3/29 still processing :'( but hopefully itll be here by the end of the week

 

I feel for you man. You NEED to be in the first batch!

 

Well, I got moved into production on Friday, but after 1 PM CST, meaning that Xotic will only start my production the next business day. So hopefully, at the rate Xotic is building these laptops at, this is my first and probably only day of production. Trying to be hopeful here.

kaworu876, do you happen to know what TIME (in CST) was your order moved to Phase 2? Just want to use your experience to estimate the times for my P150EM to arrive ;P

EDIT: EMBRACED DAY 2 OF PRODUCTION HOPEFULLY IT SHIPS OUT TODAY AERHAKJDGHADLKJFAFASG

 

I spoke with Hutsady today and he mentioned that P150EM build times have gone from 7-10 business days to 10-12. I'm hoping moves to the shipping phase before Friday so I can hope to get it the following week.

 

Let me clear that up a little, the orders shipping now have been about 10-12 but when they were placed that is what we were quoting, we are now quoting 7-10 for new orders. As always though those times are just estimates and can vary as many have seen (for the better even )

 

The beast arrived today, I just finished installing the SSD and the memory and OS. Typing on her now. After I have played with her a bit I will give you a guys a review.

Initial Impression, Very solid and Well built. Sharp looking. That's all for now.

 

Don't forget to update your sig, it still says you're waiting.
Also, a bunch of support for all those who mentioned it! Hope your laptops come soon! :yes:

 

I placed my order 4/16. I put in the wrong cc info so that delayed me a bit. I received an email stating that my order is in phase 2. I hoping to have my 7970 enabled laptop by the first week of June (maybe sooner).

 

Sorry, did not mean to cause confusion!!

 

Just read an email confirming mine should be shipping on Monday! It's down to the wire now!
