    I WIN!!! I am typing on my Sager 5760 as I type! And it is a beauty...its in perfect condition no dead pixels, keyboard perfect, and quick setup.! Now what do I win for getting it first? :D I don't have anything installed yet...I literally got it like 30 minutes ago...the box was pretty dirty which is my biggest complant but after all it was a white box. Any questions now that I got it? PS THANKS XOTIC PC :D

    Yep I am planning to put a *very* simple review of it up once I get things on here and try things out. So far I am in love with it.

    It still hasn't gotten in ghost? Well just to let you know...the thing is amazing...so don't worry! :D

    And benchmarks maybe...can I do them without getting a program or something...I am still new to the laptop scene and not very computer tech savy.

    Congrats! It's an awesome laptop. :)
    I was going to do a review, but seeing how it is being phased out in the coming months, I wasn't sure there were many interested in reading it.

    Dreamcat, I for one, would be interested in the review. Even after lurking here for a couple of months, I can't seem to decide whether to snap up the deal on the M570U (excellent pricing at Xotic) or wait for the
    M570RU.

    On one hand, the well-under-3k deal for nicely-configured-but-soon-to-be-phased-out M570U makes my purse happy. But on the other hand, I looked at the Eurocom pix of the M570RU and fell in love. It looks sooooo sexah!

    Needs-wise, I could probably continue using my Inspiron 9100 for another year or so, even if the CD drive craps out completely instead of just intermittently. But WANT is another matter entirely. =)

    Anyway, I'd read the review, FWIW. And, fellas, thanks for the best board I've found so far for laptops.

    Oh, and Congo Ratongas to GraveFoxVII! New gear is soooo much fun. Post your specs so I can drool.

    I'll work on a little review, but I can tell you that I decided that since the specs are almost identical between the new RU and the U, it came down to price and looks. I like the look of the U over the RU. I love the DJ panel and the more professional feel.
    And then the recent $300 discount set it in stone for me that the U was the better value, and by the time I need DirectX10 in a notebook (the only plus to the RU in my personal comparison), and by the time the 7950 won't run the current games at good settings, it'll be time to upgrade anyway.
    But, if you like the RU's look better, then it comes down to what you value more, and whether you think you want to wait for a good DX10 card in a laptop.

    I got the NP5760 from Xoticpc. I love everything about it so far my only irritation is that sometimes downloading from Zune Marketplace it acts a little wierd. Getting acustomed to the changes in Vista is wierd too. But I pretty much have eveything down with finding the system files and all. I just need an optical mouse and I will be all set with my new beast :D

    I might try and do a review...I don't have the benchmark program and I am really busy for awhile (the original reason for the laptop was to replace my old dying Vaio before finals came) with work and finals amoung other things. But I will consider doing a review.

    All I can say so far is that this Sager is easily the best computer I have ever owned so far.

    I would also be very interested in a review, there has not been a review for the lastest Clevo M570U [w/ 7950GTX] in NBR.

    It would be great to show what your notebook is made of.

Check and it is due to ship a little after noon on the 25th (tomorrow) ... so excited lol same time my backpack for it and flash drive will come in from newegg so even better.

    That was a great review from Kilim way back last year with the 7900GTX 256mb version.

    I want to see a recent M570U review with the latest 7950GTX and have it to compare benchmarks with... and link to new people.

    You could go to the UPS service station where it is being held and pick it up before it goes out on delivery again.
