    Is the 18" Sager 9850 a proven platform?

    is this a brand new laptop case that was just created? or is it a great cooling case for the fast guts that are in there? i realized its only $200 more than a 5797 for the exact same specs but has a "dual lamp 18" screen..." so i'm dying to see how good it is

    no i was talking about performance not looks or cooling. we still have to wait for that. but it is a new design. what are you looking for in a notebook??? to see if it is worth getting.

    plus the 5797 i think only has one gpu. were the 9850 has 2gpu(3 if you includ hybrid.)

    you have the option of choosing 1 280M which makes it much cheaper.... so the 9850 isn't even released yet?

    no it's for pre-order i believe. i haven't checked on it in 2 days and i don't remember the release date. but are you a heavy gamer. if so then i would remmend the np9850 or the M17x.(for sli) otherwise get the 5797

    the release date was originally any time now but it has been delayed at clevos end so a early to mid july release date is now on the cards.
