    I have been following this forum for about a month now and it seems like a million people have ordered the Sager NP2090, so i was curious about how many people have actually ordered this computer. So i decided to make a one question poll to get a number of how many people ordered the 2090. The minimum is two questions on a poll so i will make one "blank" were no one should place their vote, ok hope everyone understands.
    So only vote if you have ordered a 2090!!!

    I think it might be good to know which screen was ordered also...since the waiting times are different based on screen type.
    Good idea though....was wondering the same.

    Also all 2090 with WXGA and no specials(bluetooth,tvtunner and 2gig stick) ordered before july 5th were supposed to be shipped according to latest press release.
    Anybody with this kind of order did not get shipping confirmation yet?

    I would've gotten mine shipped if I hadn't held out for the 1 SODIMM 2 GB stick. I talked to Donald about that and he said he'll change my order to 2 SODIMM 2 GB RAM if Sager doesn't get their 1 x 2GB sticks by the second shipment comes around.

    I actually ordered the Power Pro J 10:15, technically the samething heh. I was hoping to get it this week, but I guess the Bluetooth might have held it back. Was going to ask Donald about it on Monday.

    Congrats to everyone who does have theirs already :)

    It would be nice to know how many actually received their Sagers.

    P.S. Is preorder considered phase2, cause if it's not than phase1.5 for me :D

    I actually joined this forum recently for the NP2090 anticipation. I ordered mine this month from powernotebooks.com, and Donald told me the wait would be 2-4 weeks. I suppose this is because I didn't go for any extras (1GB RAM sticks, no TV tuner, WXGA Screen, etc.). I consider myself pretty lucky if this wait time comes through, seeing as some of you guys have waited for 40+ days. Best of luck to those waiting for the first shipment!

    I ordered on the 9th from xotic, but got extras (2 gig stick, wsxga+ screen)... and the wait is killing me. They told me i'd get it by the end of july but now I'm being told mid-august. I got college to go to on the 14th! crap! Should I play the waiting game or just go 4 a similarly configured Dell 1520? haha My friend ordered that and got it in about 5 days.

    But the dell is so pricey. The dell 1520 with 4 Gig of ram will run you approx $2600 (not to mention the video card has half the memory). Then again, time and money go hand in hand...so if you really need it by the 14th, then go for it.

    Dells steals from people who add their memory. You're better off getting as little as you can from Dell and ordering what you need from NewEgg.

    The graphics card will not be upgradeable on the 2090, like 99.999999999% of laptops. :(

    However, you could upgrade the RAM, hard drive, and CPU if you're up for it.

    If you treat the Sager nicely, as with any laptop, it should last you a long time if you keep the heat managed and air vents flowing, coupled with the Sager's good build quality as it's made by Compal.

    Well, this poll is:

    1. FAR from scientific.
    2. There are hundreds of orders from people who do not frequent this forum.
    3. There are many more people that view this forum without posting than those who post.

    So actually the 80 votes here are not representative of the total amount of orders.

    I ordered mine yesterday. I don't need it for another 1 1/2 months; but I still can't wait for it. I do intend on making some upgrades in the time I own it. The only upgrades I have in mind are doubling the RAM and adding a tuner. Other than that, I have nothing else in mind. I wish I could upgrade the GPU, but I guess I'll be fine with it.

    Even if you are willing to do that, it is highly unlikely you'll be able to upgrade the GPU. You need to take into consideration that the physical, electric and thermal profiles of the new GPU are likely to be different than the older one.
