Hey all! I have been reading posts from the Sager and Clevo section for about a week now trying to decide which laptop to get. I have to say good by to my desktop because I am going into the Marine Corps and have no way of transporting my water cooled computer with me

My current budget is right around 2300 give or take a few. I have been looking at the NP5797 or NP9280. Both seem to have what I want, but I would like to know a few things about both that I cant seem to find out for myself. Can you overclock the Core i7 920 in the 9280? Can you overclock the non-extreme processors in the 5797, or do the BIOS not allow that?

Also, what do you guys think I should do? Your input is greatly appreciated!

It really depends what you plan on doing. If it's strictly for gaming and general use I'd stick with the np5797. You won't notice a significant difference in gaming with the i7 because the 1x gpu will be the bottleneck. Also only putting 2300 into a 9280 will kind of gimp it, while you can max out a 5797 for less, not to mention the 5797 is a bit more portable and the battery lasts longer.

I'm in the army and have a 9262, and the thing's a huge beast, but it barely fits in my assault bag.
