12. Touch Pad problems?


Thankyou for answering my questions, i was going to buy alienware m15x but i noticed there where some heat/touch control problems

 

1. Sager NP5793, Sager 9262.
8. Good build quality.

Other than that, you do realize that Sager/Clevo is a manufacturer, not a specific computer right? Which invalidates the rest of your questions until you narrow it down.

 

any more answers for other questions?

 

have you tried the search function for 'np9262' in http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1017 ? That should help.

 

What is better 9262 or 5793?

 

There's always lots more you should know!

However, based on your questions, the following two reviews would be a good place for you to start. The reviews themselves are very informative, and should give you a good basis for starting your own further research. Enjoy!

The links are:

Chaz' review of the Sager NP9260 (of which the current version is the NP9262 - the primary difference being a mobo revision from NP9261 to NP9262 to accomodate the 8800M GPUs): Sager NP9260 Full Review

Chaz' review of the Sager NP5791 (of which the current version is the NP5793 - the primary differences being a BIOS modification to deal with S3 sleep issues and a case modification to support the higher cooling requirements imposed by the 8800M): Sager NP5791 Review

Once you've finished reading the reviews, there is a discussion link after each one so you can get other members' take on the two respective systems. Also, make sure you give Chaz some rep because he works harder'n'hades and turns out consistently good product (Boy, that Chaz, he sure gets around, don't he? ).

EDIT: As to which system is better, that depends primarily what you're going to be doing with it, and where you're going to be doing it (i.e., portability issues). The NP5791/2 had some minor heat (no overheating!) and fan problems that have been largely taken care of on the 5793, although the fans are still a bit of a nuisance to some members (they're not wilting violets ). If heat is going to be a serious consideration (that is, heat that is still well within design operating spec, I don't mean to imply that there are any overheating issues), you may want to consider the NP9262, because it runs the coolest even under heavy load (meaning the CPU stays nice and cool - like a crisp linen suit on the veranda sipping a mint julep while other lesser systems run around sweating in the sun - the air that gets exhausted out of the back vents is, as I believe Chaz mentions in his review, nice and toasty without being unduly uncomfortable).

 

yup chaz is always the person you should give full respect too Ill rep him

 

one more thing. How does UPS ship to canada? I never saw a UPS Truck in canada

 

Got me. (+char)

 

I'm not sure how they do that, but shipping to Canada wouldn't be a problem (as long as you chose the UPS Air option, which avoids some taxes).

 

Yes, UPS can ship to Canada They probably just hand it off to DHL anyway, but nothign you need to worry about.

UPS does tend to like ot leave packages at the house without requiring physical handoff, so I always go FedEx myself; for UPS, I call them up and tell them to hold for pickup and then I go get it.. I don't like expensive packages sitting under a foot of snow on my step (like happened with my 8800 GPU the other day..)

They do ship to canada. I chose 2nd day delivery via UPS and I live in Calgary currently. I had no problems getting it on time. and tracking worked great even across the border. Got mine from Sager but to do it over wish i had used Xoticpc.com
