    Hey all,

    With Justin showing off his orgasmic review of the 9260 and my jaw-dropping expression of the 5790, I'm really starting to look at selling my baby.

    But.... I have no idea how much a strong 2-year old laptop, in decent shape, would go far.

    So, I'm gonna throw out the specs, pros, and cons of the system and you tell me what you would pay for it.

    Ahem...

    Sager 8790
    Display: 17" WSXGA+ LCD (WideScreen 1680 X 1050)
    Color: Standard Factory
    Processor: P4 3.2GHZ Northwood CPU
    Video: 256MB ATI Radeon Mobility 9700
    RAM: 2GB 400MHz Dual Channel (2-1024MB)
    Main HDD: 60GB 7200RPM
    Secondary HDD: 60GB 7200RPM
    Media Drive: 8x DVD+- combo drive with DVD+R DL
    TV Tuner/ Subwoofer/ Battery:
    Subwoofer + 8 Cell battery
    Floppy Drive (required to install RAID): Yes (External [USB])
    Modem: 56K RJ11 Phone Modem
    Network Card: 10/100/1000 NIC
    Operating System: Windows XP Pro
    Case: Basic Sager Carrying Case
    Spare Battery: Yes (9-cell)
    Wireless Network: Internal 802.11g TURBO (108Mbps)
    Card Reader: Internal 7-in-1 Card Reader
    Camera: Integrated Digital Video Camera 1.2 MP

    Cons:
    Minor wear where :p the laptop lid meets the top of the base
    One white pixel near bottom right hand corner (very unnoticeable)

    The DVDRW has been giving me issues as of late, being unable to burn DVDs... can read DVD's and read/burn CD's fine... it will be sent in after college classes are over for checkup before 11/07 warranty expiration.

    I'm looking at $1000 as a solid number for the specs. Thoughts? The review is here for a complete walkthrough of my time with it.

    PS: Sorry it took me so long to find notebookreview, Justin led me here. Hi to all of you in advance!
