Sager 2090 Impressions

Here is hoping they recieve the WSXGA shipments tomorrow!

 

I hope too. but I doubt my place since I ordered on the 21st.

 

I ordered on the 19th. Assuming they ship tommorrow, you think I can get mine by next week?

 

noone knows, but in a week, it'll be somewhere near mid july so here's to hoping. I might be ordering mine today, when do you think I might be able to get mine?thanks!

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed too guys. Cheers to all of us seeing our respective computers very, very soon.

 

I think if anything they'll be delivered to the warehouse tomorrow. They still need to be assembled and shipped.

 

I'm so ready to smash and destroy my old desktop.......

 

hm...a dumb question but I gotta make sure

I have an nvidia 6800XT right now. Will the 8600GT be better?and like how much better?haha.

 

So Justin or Donald, did you guys recieve the WSXGA shipments?
I hope you did. That would be fantastic news!

 

Do you think that this notebook will need a notebook cooling pad? I'm taking mine to college with me, if the room is well ventilated I don't think it would need one. Also, do you guys have any recommendations as to which one to get? I figure I will get one because I'll be running games and programs like ProE all the time.

 

Theres a poll and discussion in the Compal forum on this very topic.

 

Oh ok thanks sco fri!

 

My laptop's finally coming today!!! Just gotta wait for the ups guy to get here. I just hope the extra traveling time didn't do any damage to it at all.

 

lol I have my laptop coming from UPS, my 4GB (30 BUCKS) memory stick coming from DHL, and a bunch of clothes I ordered coming from FedEx. And there is a very good chance they are all coming today. I tink I might just overload, it's all stuff I've been waiting for and I really want.

 

Nice!

I wish my laptop was coming today.

 

Ok... this just popped in my head. What if they all came at once. With the rivalry they have between the three of them, they just start fighting. Not even pushing... like full on ninja stuff, twenty foot high back flips. That would probably make my life.

 

When I first read that I thought you meant his memory stick would be fighting with his laptop and clothes. Then I realized you meant the FedEx delivery guy fighting with the DHL delivery guy. Lol.

 

Well if standard delivery practice* applies, UPS will drop your stuff off in the middle of your lawn and drive away.

The DHL delivery guy will toss your stuff at the door and incredibly hit the doorbell in the process.

The FedEx guy won't arrive until a few days later.

* based off of real life experiences.

 

Haha... well, that would make a good fight too. But the DHL, FedEx and UPS would still be a better fight, haha.

 

IT"S HERE, pictures soon. Just opening pictures and stuff right now

 

I'll do the powerbrick and stuff later. What kind of pictures do you want to see exactly and I"ll take em

 

Congratulations. Once you have time and stuff maybe some pics of the screen. Did you order the WXGA or the WSXGA+? Thanks

 

I got WXGA.

Something's weird though, I didn't get a US plug. It's not 3 pronged but instead it's 2 round ones. Is it suppose to be like this?

 

Nope, I would say that plug is a mistake.

 

GODDAMMIT. It's kinda liek I never got it at all.

 

That really is disappointing. I think you got European/Asian electrical plugs. As for pictures, everything from the lid of the laptop, to the keyboard, laptop opened, closed, box, accessories, everything and anything.

 

Sorry about that.

Those are the pics in a rar, I dont' knwo if they work.

I just emailed Justin, hope he gets back to me soon.

 

I am an absolute retard. Forget everything I said. The US cord somehow got under a bunch of papers (from shipping maybe? idk). Yeah, it's there. lol I'm sorry guys.

 

I'm unzipping the pictures as we speak. Glad to hear you have the U.S. cord though.

 

Ha ha, you got me worried there GlueEater, I had to think where I placed my Asian plug converter...

Glad you enjoy it!

 

can anyone tell me where' the CD key for Vista? I want to install the 32 bit but I can't find the CDkey? Do i even need it?

 

Off Topic:
Wow GlueEater, I have the Canon A630 too! What mode were you shooting in? Its strange that the images are so grainy. Is your ISO adjusted to like 800 or something? My A630 always takes clear and sharp images.

Edit: Nevermind, you just got your laptop and I'm sitting here talking about a camera lol. Have fun with the 2090 for us!

 

If you're viewing this thread at work or you're just too lazy to download the RAR file, I took some pictures from the RAR file and hosted them on Imageshack. Here are a few, if you want all of them, download the RAR file. Keep in mind these are smaller resolution files, the RAR file has their original resolution. Enjoy.

 

just downloaded the pics, the sager looks great

 

lol actually I was in Denver last winter and left the camera out in the car and it's been grainy ever since. I just left the iso on auto. Any advice?

 

Thanks GlueEater and Ninjazn.

 

GlueEater, look on the bottom of your laptop for your Product Key. It is a sticker on the bottom

 

Ninjazn, can u please post what u get for the graphic cards clockspeed/bandwidth and if u get ddr3?

and anyone know what the 2090 build is made off? magnesium alloy?

 

Well I just did a little testing on my camera, the grainy image appears when the ISO is on 800. I would suggest you go into the Manual mode, press the center "Func. Set" Button, then pick ISO 80, and move down to flash output, slide it up to full. And there you have it, bright super clear images, I hope that helps. If it does, could you take another picture of your lappy? If you have a tv tuner, could you take a picture of that side, I'm interested in seeing a high resolution image of the TV tuner connections. I also wouldn't mind a better picture of the sager logo

BTW http://www.bayimg.com/ is the BEST image host ever. You can even upload a zip or a rar up to 100megs and it creates an album for you. You don't even need to sign up!
Edit: Unfortunately the albums feature seems to be having some problems today.

 

Thanks for the pics Glue. The rest of us are going to have to live vicariously through you for a while.

 

Outside is probably sturdy ABS plastic like most laptops are made of. Inside is anybody's guess, but I'm pretty sure because the laptop's made by Compal, it's of high quality metal to keep the internals secure and stable.

 

Does this help any?:

I know this is a bit off topic, but me being a photographer I can pitch in 2 cents real quick....

ISO is sensitivity to light, just like 100, 200, 400, 800 films in camers
The lower the ISO, the less grainy your pictures will be and seem more clear. The higher the ISO, the more grain, but the higher shutter speeds that you can use to prevent camera shake and motion blurs. You can use noise reducing software to reduce the grain effect, like Noise Ninja.

However, when at night, its nice to bump up the ISO just a tad (depending on your pictures of course, this is just general pictures) because when your flash fires, having the higher ISO will also capture more of the obscure background

 

will do,thankyou

 

Is your graphics card screwed or is windows screwed???

 

Whoa... is there graphics card in there?

 

I can't seem to download drivers on the nvidia site.

 

!
You've got a GFX card bandit at UPS or something!
