Preppin on buying X7200

That's a positive point for Clevo-Sager

 

I am sure you all know, we would really like pictures when you get your beast....

You bet ill post some pictures. But havent you guys seen to many pictures of the beast allready ?

I know i have. And i dont even have it yet.

One point to note on my config is the tvtunner. And i havent heard anyone here gettin the tvtunner option on the x7200.

At 130 euros, i wonder how it will perform. ALso im curios if ill be gettin a remote and im also curious if i can control, if i get the remote, the tunner with the remote via the built in irda port.

So far i have heard alot about x7200 and i know what to expect of it performance wise.

But i havent heard anything yet about the tunner.

 

^^^^For most US Resellers of Clevo and Sager the option is for only an external USB TV tuner. Clevo has in recent times steered away from the mini pci TV tuner cards for reasons not clearly disclosed...some say because of possible incompatibilities...

Yah, but internal is so much more elegant. I hope i javent payed 130 euro just to watch incompatibilities. I payed 130 euros so that i could be lied upon watching TV

Part 3) YouTube - 17122010009

There is an antena for the tv tunner. No remote. So far im installing programs.

Nfs Hot pursuit 2 runs at 45 50 fps in FullHD all Maxed. A bit better if i take the shadows out. But the overall feeling is excess frame rate.

Ill coma back later with more opinions.

what's the specs of x7200 in the video?

 

Yea I don't know why the change in guidance from them, as we have always been using the internal tuners (still do) on all the sager/clevos that will support them and never had any issues with it not being able to use the right frequencies for the territory (read USA). I think the option probably just isn't/wasn't getting enough sales to carry them in-stock and with the limited models that can use the internals that depressed sales even more, when they can just go USB and you can put them on all the models. Although I agree internal is defiantly the way to go for presentation and execution.

The sound system embeded in the laptop seems pretty potent. Before you can feel the subwoofer, you need to enable the bas via settings, and it is realy felt. The same has to be said about enabling all 5 speakers in the laptop. You need to set 5.1 in the sound options.

So the people who just instaled windows and played some music right away have no ideea what so ever how the system CAN sound.

I dont know how the msi gx660 sounds but i am definetly satisfied with the speakers in the x7200.

 

^ Have you tested the internal TV-Tuner on your machine?

 

Not yet, im not home right now, but i will do some testin for sure. I need first to make the cable when i do get home.

 

you are from bucharest ?
