    Ok so I couldnt resist posting after waiting months for this. Top specs everything I could get on XoticPC.com with a custom skin (paint was taking too long) which looks awesome, they even put it on the keypad area. See pics below. I have 1 stuck pixel on the left center of my screen, trying to get rid of it, didnt get a no dead pixel policy cause I dont want to return since it takes so much time as I am not in the US. I'll run some benchmarks etc when I get the time. Out of the box 3D Mark 06 score is 14154, while the CPU score was 4096. Haven't installed any drivers yet or anything.

    Sager NP9262:
    17" WUXGA 1920x1200; Intel Core 2 QUAD Q9650 3.0GHz w/ 12MB L2 Cache - 1333MHz FSB; 2 x 9800M GTX in SLI; 4GB DDR2-800 RAM; 1 x 320GB 5400RPM; Vista Home x64

    I don't understand your logic...getting the dead pixel policy would mean that you wouldn't have received the notebook w/ a dead pixel. So you would not have to send it back in... :confused:

    Anyhow congrats on the monster, what's the Specs looking like?

    ^^ like already said.

    I will add something else to help you:
    - Sager has a 30-full satisfaction warranty

    So if you have any dislikes or issues... like a dead/stuck pixel... you can get your full money back or...
    - get a replacement unit by sending the one you didnt like back (which will just cost you shipping).

    It does mean that, but because they know that that would cost them 2 way shipping, they inspect the ones with the dp warranty before dispatch to save money and time

    All 9262 models have TV Tuner Ports. They do not become "Active" until the TV Tuner is installed.

    Hey Kzap how do you rate the NP9262 ?, i've been eyeing the same specs as you have but im waiting till feb/march to see if any components are upgraded. Is it worth the £3200+ price tag?

    thanks justin
    @Traser, its definitely worth it if you've got the cash and want the very best, nothing beats the 9262. I doubt the specs will be upgraded to I7 or anything anytime soon. It will most likely be replaced by the new Clevo model when that comes out, don't know when it will be released, if you wait long enough a new model will always be released, for me I got this for the 9800M GTX and waited until they released it with the SLI GTX.

    @terek - thanks its actually a sticker but the guys at XoticPC were nice enough to stick it on the wrist rest area as well.
