    Hello all,

    I'm very interested in purchasing the Sager NP8660 laptop. Here's my dilemma. I start a business trip on 9/7 so I would need the laptop at least a few days before to install games, etc. Given the shipping delays with this unit and the number of backorders, is it even possible to get one in time?

    My alternates are the Asus G50V-A2, Gateway P-7811FX, both of which also have not yet shipped, and the Toshiba X305-Q701 which is available at my local BB.

    Thanks,
    Mario64

    Yes 9/7 should be enough time.

    Should I place it now? Does xoticpc charge your CC before shipping? And would I have to select express shipping?

    No, regular 3 day grounw ould be enough. They charge your CC asap, your payment is what reserves your spot on the preorder line.

    The 7811FX is available in some Best Buys right now. There have been at least two users who picked up one.
