Clevo d901c/sager 9262 fastest, why is dell and AW claiming to be faster?

OMG..............

In awe.............

Start putting menu hyperlinks in ur responses Shyster

 

This coming from someone who owns a Clevo - must be either:

1) a Joke, or

2) the truth from a disgruntled Clevo owner.

so which one is it? and if it's the latter, hows that for the pot calling the kettle black! - in other words how can you talk about me not doing my research when you made the same mistake!?

 

Of course it`s a joke. I researched 2 month or so before I bought mine and I love every bit of it. But I`m the first to complain if something is wrong with it, just check my fan noise thread and see.
The point is : get the thing that suits YOU the most , not what other suggest. I wanted a gaming laptop , that`s what I got and I`m happy. I own a HP bussiness laptop, my gf has a Dell 1501, a friend has an HP DV9500T, another has 2 Acers etc etc. I knew how those were built, and seems that my Clevo is superior to all but the HP bussiness class(9/10), whereas mine is 8/10.

 

Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it. :twitcy:

 

No more novels?what a shame.. (phew )

 

My urge to prattle is a vogon,

to wit: "resistance is futile," especially when I'm tired.:SLEEP:

 

I've been thinking of branching out into Vogon poetry; it would be a shame to waste my natural talents.

 

WTH is vogon poetry? I might get into that myself, I always was a bit of a freaky poet myself.
My friends used to call me Eminescu(that is my country`s biggest poet).
Plus , I live a bohemic life

Watch this : "I`ll kick your ass right out the door/
If you come back then you want more..."

Most of you probably would expect something like "if you come back than you`re ..."
(of course I meant not sore...)

 

Oh dear, your classical education is not complete if you haven't acquainted yourself with the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy


or the Vogons,

who, amongst many other accomplishments, are reckoned as the worst poets of the entire galaxy.

 

I always do my research - speaking as someone who owns a small computer shop - research is a key priority in acquiring knowledge.

Now I know most small computer shops are manned by people who like to call themselves 'technicians' just because they know which way to insert an IDE lead, but I am one of a minority who actually has background knowledge and qualifications in this field, and more so, experience because PC hardware is something that I call a hobby, but an expensive one, just like photography is an expensive hobby to a professional photographer.

One of my favourite sayings is - that a PC 'technician' is only as good as his PC - and I remember building my first PC for £11 back in 1998 ($22) - and since then I have been hell bent on doing 2 things:

Extracting the most power from the hardware I have - i.e. overclocking CPU's etc.

and upgrading as and when I can, which usually ended up being as frequent as a week or 2 between upgrades, hence the rapid climb back in 1998 from a intel 486SX 25MHz to a 586 DX4 100@133MHz a week later, to a intel P75 within a month - overclocked to 100MHz, then to 120 and so on..........right upto a 1GHz PIII in late 2002, which I sold to buy my 1st power notebook - a Dell Inspiron 8200 in December of that year.

Between 2002 and 2004 nothing much happened on the desktop front at my end - then during the summer of 2004 I started my new desktop project, using a modified ABIT NF7S v2 and a Coolermaster ATCS case - it wasn't long before things were back in full swing again - first with an XP 1800+, then with an XP 3200+ then with a mobile XP2500 OC'd to 2.5GHz - then onto a Athlon64 3500+ and on to a Pentium4 640 @ 4GHz watercooled (which is on display at my computer shop)

What was to be my final project (isn't now as I couldn't stay away from building desktops) was a Q6600 with XFX 8800 XXX edition in a Lian Li PC-75B case built during 2006-7, which I sold in December to raise cash to buy my 9262 ;-)

But as I said - I couldn't stay away from building desktops - and although my latest one isn't as powerful (as I don't need a powerful desktop anymore as the 9262 is supposed to satisfy that need!) I now have a Silverstone Temjin TJ-07 black aluminium case a ABIT AW9D-MAX mobo with a Pentium E2160 CPU running at 3GHz with 2GB of Corsair XPERT and a ATI AIW X800GT graphics card, 1x320 and 1x500GB hard drive for my downloads

Between 2002 and now I have owned my fair share of laptops - namely the Inspiron 8200 that I sold last summer, a Dell Precision M50 (which is essentially the same with a Quadro graphics card) which I sold around the same time, then a Toshiba Qosmio G30 which I bought in 2006 and almost maxxed it out with 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD space and I replaced the CoreDuo chip with a Core2Duo T5500 - I couldn't upgrade the graphics as they are unupgradeable on the Qosmio

Again I sold the Qosmio in December to raise cash for the 9262.

Also in 2006 I acquired a Clevo D900T which was broken and had no power adapter. During 2007 I purchased the power adaptor and replaced the Schottky diode on the motherboard - now I have, and still own the Clevo, which I have customized by purchasing a Alienware M7700 screen lid and respraying it in Ford Imperial Blue (the closest colour to Conspiracy Blue), Flashed the BIOS with the one from Alienware so now it says Alienware when you switch it on.

I was thinking about removing the screen lid from this and fitting it to the 9262, but I think I will wait and see if my new laptop is going to be reliable or not before I set about the task.

That is about the one good thing about Clevo not changing the design that much - the fact that old Alienware panels such as the screen lid should fit the D901C with a breeze.

But it's got to get here first - and the lack of news on that front is quite annoying.
