    Is it shipping today to Sager or is it shipping today from Sager to you?

    Your laptop will ship straight to you from Sager. All the resellers do is simply give them your order. Are you sure you didn't misunderstand them in that the laptops are "shipping" to Sager today?

    Its not necessarily coming from sager...its a clevo, sager is only one of many clevo resellers. It could be from any clevo reseller.

    Hmm, I think you are not configuring them identically, because they are not ~$150 cheaper...for most they are more, which maybe covers the free shipping (shipping is never free...just ask UPS or FedEx).

    Also, we recommend that you never buy accidental damage coverage from a computer seller because it does not cover THEFT!

    An accidental damage warranty from a laptop company does not have theft coverage. The ADP policy at www.safeware.com is underwritten by an AM Best “A” rated insurance company, covers theft, and can be purchased annually.

    Maybe...check it out.

    If yours hasn't shipped yet, switch.

    Sorry, but this is not true. Sager and Pro-Star get theirs from Clevo at the same time (even on the same pallet) so Pro-Star will never ship before Sager does. It will be either the same day, or if anything, Pro-Star will begin shipping a day or so later than Sager.

    Sager will begin shipping the NP8660 tomorrow.

    I hate to disappoint Chunghwa, but the Pro-Star M860TU from Lynnbay will not ship from Pro-Star before tomorrow.

    But hey...what's a couple of days one way or the other among friends :D

    Lynnbay must've caught the error, because earlier today the base config was coming up to something like ~$1640.00, and now it's $1793.03. I figured something was amiss, because the main page said "starts at 1793.03", but when I clicked customize, the price was well below $1700.00. So after this adjustment, Lynnbay is indeed more expensive, but they do still include shipping + accidental in this price, two things that don't matter to me.

    Eh, now I'm not so excited about going with an unknown reseller.

    Deathwinger, Pro-Star let that one slip out before they were supposed to...so I stand corrected.

    Sager is shipping a bunch today so those who pre-ordered early should watch their email tonight for tracking numbers.

    Now, Deathwinger, when did you say yours was going to ship? Wasn't PCMW going to be the first in the world to ship them? I really hate to do this, but maybe it will show you that being childish about this isn't really attractive. I just wonder how many more weeks you are going to have to wait for yours. Do you want others to come back here and chide you about it?

    Chunghwa, I apologize for scaring you. Yours did ship before it was supposed to and I regret that I reported incorrect information here yesterday. :eek:

    So I do believe that you are indeed the very first in North America to get yours...Congratulations! :)

    Haha, oh well crap. I gave up on getting it first ever since I knew it would have to go through 2 couriers before I got it.

    What I am happy about is that I am getting a system for $500 less than other companies can ever offer :D

    Also, unlike other companies, my reseller is shipping my laptop to me with the standard DVD RW drive whilst they wait for the Blu Ray drives to come in and then shipping the Blu Ray to me 2 day shipping for free.

    I guess if I did go with another companies, I would be waiting this excruciating time of a few weeks you speak of.

    Anywayz, no hard feelings, my friend still plans to buy from powernotebooks, he likes your offerings. I am glad however, that you admitted you were wrong.

    I've been checking my e-mail for a shipping confirmation like every hour for the last several hours. I need this thing to ship as soon as possible considering how long it will take to probably get over here.

    Mine will come with it, I don't think I need a spare but you can try to sell your DVD RW on ebay see if anyone interested... or maybe contact sager, see if they want to buy it back so they can use it for repairing other people's laptop.

    I'll probably sent it back for trade in credit. Just in case this new ATI comes out better than expected and if the Nvidias are really failing. :D
