Clevo/Sager New Models Status - UPDATE

^let's all say it together...July 15th at 11 AM Pacific Time

EDIT: but yes, based on the pcmicroworks pricing. if its not theres going to be a ton of people pissed off at justin and paladin, including myself.

 

that's mic

IEEE1394, aka firewire

they said the full spec will be available on 15th, you know what's that mean.

You probably can.

 

its gonna be close to that from initial speculations

 

All of Clevo's new models are now up on their site, just look for the ones ending in a T or TU.

Here is the M860TU link (though there is nothing new in it in terms of specs):

http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo.asp?productid=122

 

Just to clarify, we will be able to actually order all of the new laptops except the NP8660 (which is up for pre-preorder) on July 15th? Or are they all gonna be pre-orders?

 

m570tu will ship and m860tu will be preorder

 

Hi Gophn ... in your Opinion which company builds a better Laptop ... Clevo or Compal? And why?

Thanks,
G!

 

Cannot really say.

Clevo's are innovative, Compal has been making notebooks for the major OEMs for a long while.

 

What about the other 4 notebooks, particularly the 2092 refresh?

 

Will 2092 Refresh still use NVIDIA 8600 in it!?!? You know the one with Heating Problem?

G!

 

THe first M570TU will be shipped with 8800M or 9800M GT?

 

whats the expected date for the first people to be receiving their 8660s, any idea when they will go into production and how long build time, shipping etc. will take?

 

Update:

The M860TU has been taken down from the Clevo page. I suppose some local tattle tell, probably the same one that has been telling on everyone else that has posted any information before it was due, ran to mommy Sager to be sure that nothing is released ahead of time.

 

Why, pray tell, would Sager have authority to cause Clevo to take down something Clevo wanted to post about its own systems?

 

From another thread:

You ran to mommy Visa just a few days ago with the erroneous idea that PNB was in violation of their merchant's agreement.

Need I say more?

 

Nope, that should do it.

 

my preorder for the np5796 went to stage 2 on the 3rd (almost 2 weeks ago), when will mine be shipping? will it be tommorow?

 

Better to ask your vendor...no one here knows anything about your particular order

 

i ordered w/ xoticpc i believe, it says i was in phase 2 sent for building/testing/etc... on the 3rd, which confused me because i thought the model wasnt released yet at the time

 

For 5793/5796 - Pre-Orders were moved into production after payment is completed, which are pending release of the new machine and will go immediately into production tomorrow.

Anyone questioning order status can email us direct and we would be happy to help.

 

That's a good question. But one thing that always confused me about the Clevo website is that under the news section for Clevo releasing their new laptops the source is notebookreview.com. Wouldn't the source be, I dunno, themselves?

 

Justin,

NP 7680, how does it run Performance, Heat, Noise, ... etc.

Thanks,
Rosa

 

Justin & et al.,

Actually I have a similar or close question to RosaPeach's

Which is the better machine?

Thanks,
G!

 

They are pretty similar once you take the video card out of consideration.

 

Hi Paladin,

But their "Cooling" system and internal Fan(s) ... something must be differnt about 2 diff manufacturers?

BTW, the NP7680 White Keyboard surface does it get dirty fast? Or is not prone to getting dirty that easily?

Thanks,
G!

 

The keyboard surface and palm rest will get just as dirty regardless of its color...it depends on how clean you keep your hands.

That is why I change my socks daily.

 

You should try latex gloves.

 

:laugh::laugh:

 

Like I said in a recent thread:

1) If you type correctly, your palms should not even touch or wear out that area. I play games and my palm never touches the casing. So my notebook's palm rest areas are still mint. (and I have had it for about 2.5 years now)

2) you can get a palm gel pad (if you know you are going to rest your palm) if you want to make sure to not wear out your casing.

 

Hi folks,

@ Paladin, I'll try changing my socks ... good tip.

@ Shyster1 ... what happened to your Avatar ... Nice Old Italian Guy from Brooklyn!?!

@ Gophn ... actually I did read your other post and I was trying figure out how do you do ergonomic typing?

BTW, I just looked at NP7680 and I think I changed my mind about it ... since I noticed all USB and other connections are right over the Vent Pipe and the other USB is toward the front of laptop, so if you want to load the DVD player you will keep bumping into the USB cable ... so :cry:

The reason I was looking at the Clevo was I assumed may be this laptop would run it's GPU Cooler ...diff manufacturer and it was in my price range.

Thanks,
G!

 

From: Ergonomics: Cumulative Trauma Disorders

While typing, it is best not to rest your wrists, and they should not be bent up, down, or to the side. This may be easier if the back edge of the keyboard is tilted down slightly, away from you. The knuckle, wrist, and top of forearm should form a straight line. Wrist supports or rests give you a place to rest your hands only when pausing from typing, not while you are typing (or gaming).

BAD:


GOOD:

From: Safe Office Practice - Hands & Wrists




(forearm as wrists should be aligned... meaning your palms should NOT be bent downward to rest anywhere)





Placing your keyboard at an angle to the edge of the desk encourages a bad posture. Either the wrists are bent sideways (ulnar deviation) or the spine is twisted. Rearrange your equipment so you can sit head-on to your keyboard and monitor.

 

When I was configuring the NP2096, it has the new processors, but only had options for DDR2 ram, will this model support and fully utilize DDR3 ram if one were to replace the DDR2 ram with DDR3?

Edited, sorry, typed the wrong model number in earlier.

 

Is the 570tu with a quad available for preorder?

 

Not yet... since the mobile quad does not have a firm ETA.

And... I hope you realize that the first mobile quad-core CPUs are about $1000 each.

So if you can afford that, more power to you, but I definitely do not think its worth it at that price. (might as well go for the D901C that already has quad-cores, but much cheaper since they are desktop quads)

 

Did you see my rig in that flame thread?
My PC alone without the monitor costs 5000 roughly.

 

i hate the d901c gophn, I don't want to break my back carrying a 13 pound behemoth. a 9 pound one with a quad sounds nice

 

More power to you.

Wish I had that budget.

 

Thanks man, no offense but a d901c is for those who want the multifaceted solution to play on the go but don't have an adequate desktop.
I'm however looking for something thats a little smaller weight-wise so I can atleast haul it's bum to school and game there, then I game at home when I get home. God I love university

 

EDIT: Post removed by me to keep it on-topic. Sorry Chaz. [blush]

 

Please keep comments on-topic and appropriate in here, thank you.

 

You may be good looking, but your language is offensive.

Please look around here and you will not see people using potty words to express themselves. Please show a little consideration to the readers here by exerting a little more effort to express yourself with more civil language.

 

sorry I didn't know you guys were that ancy about it,
Can I pre order the first quad? I want to make sure I get it since I bet they're gonna come in batches of small amounts

 

^--^
Would you be willing to go back and edit your posts using more thoughtful language?

 

Done! Can I preorder now

 

hmmm thinking about selling the new dell i just got and going for the 9262 with 9800gt sli with the new pricing im kicking myself for not waiting the extra week.. i really wanted the 9262 but just could not afford it with the sli 800 setup at that time

 

Glad we have Donald the Paladin making sure the moral codes are respected

 

donald can we please pre order me the quad man?
I want to make sure i get it first!

 

Hold thy slanderous tongue knave!

 

Dude, you`ll never be happy like that. You have more than enough power now, why ask for more? Plus , remember the warranty you have, in 3 years...new system, equally powered but to actual times

On topic : I want to hear fan noise on the 5796(or lack of it, for that matter).

 

Link747, I am not sure where I read it but if your laptop comes configured with DDR2 RAM ... you are stuck with that ... something about DDR3 RAM not fitting into DDR2 RAM slot and vice versa.

G!
