Sager 2090 Impressions

The only good news right now is that the WXGA screens are expected in very soon (within the next week). The WSXGA's don't have a confirmed arrival date yet. There is talk that the WSXGA's might be coming soon but the date is not confirmed yet.

 

Huzzah!

That's excellent news, Justin!

 

hey justin. do u know when your glossy screens are coming?
and if had to quess....will they be the same price as the matte ones?
i wana get a 2090 before the end of august. school starts =\

 

Is that new news as of today Justin?

 

ahh -_- this wsxga is just refuses to come in...hopefully in 2-3 weeks??

 

im glad that you're getting yours Syntax haha I'll still have to remain in line for that wsxga.

 

I am sorry I dont know any information on when the WSXGA Glossy will arrive. My opinion is it would be 4 weeks +. They will likely be the same price as the Matte ones but we will not know for sure until they come in.

Donsell,
This is what we were informed today on the approximate arrival. Please keep in mind it is not confirmed yet. We are working very hard to get these in ASAP.

 

Thanks for the update Justin. Hopefully the WSXGA screens come in soon.

 

We do not make interest in non-interest bearing liability reserve accounts which is where all monies received for pre-orders are kept.

We appreciate the suggestion, but even if we could collect interest, if you were to do the math you would see that it wouldn't amount to $5 which is not enough to upgrade shipping...or anything else really.

 

thanks paladin44

i wasnt trying to attack you or anything

you gatta understand how hard it is to wait for a month for... anything actually

 

No problem...it didn't feel like an attack

I was just trying to say that we do appreciate your suggestion, but then tried to put it into perspective.

 

And my WSXGA Matte screen still seems no closer. Sigh. At this point, in all seriousness, I would sacrifice the screen/ extra video memory to get the computer sooner. I'm just getting so nervous about not seeing it before my August departure.

BTW Yes I know that I would end up at the back of the line and that would be counter productive... Sigh #2.

 

The site ftp://ftp.littlebit.ch/Littlebit%...0(FL90)/Driver isn't working for me right now. It's saying I have to log on. A window pops up in the upper right left hand corner.

 

Don't worry MathisHard, unless you are leaving the first week of August I think you will find it is worth the wait...and the sighs

 

I am somewhat in the need of a laptop before or somewhere around mid-august.

 

Then hang in there...you will get it by then.

 

oh cool, thanks for the reassurance.

Although I have been in deep contemplation about getting the G1S.

Even though I don't need a laptop right now, I sure do want one.

It's a big step from a Inspiron 1420 that I've used for 4-5 years, i'm excited.

 

Good things come to those who wait...patience is a virtue...

 

If you've stuck withe the 1420 for 4-5 years, whats another few weeks?

 

I just want to get a taste of some present technology,

edit, it is the inspiron 4150 haha.

 

Yeah... Actually I leave on the 4th... I'm going to call my reseller today to see if a switch to a wxga and 1 gig of ram can squeeze me in this one or the next one. Fingers crossed.

 

Please tell us how that turns out. I doubt you can be squeezed into the first shipment because the resellers have reported a cut off date that has already passed. Next one, maybe... if it is not already full.

I'm inferring that switching screen resolutions is not the same thing as calling the reseller to change the order to get more RAM or a bigger HDD. If you change resolution, that requires Compal to ship a different laptop to fulfill your order because the LCD is not something the reseller installs. If you get more RAM or a bigger HDD, the reseller is just putting different parts in your laptop. (If a reseller reads this and finds I'm wrong, please please please correct me!)

 

Well, people are splitting hairs a bit here because the timing is so close. I would bet the MathisHard's reseller is not going to guarantee delivery by the 4th of August today, but I would also bet the odds are better than 90% that within another 7-10 days it will become apparent whether he can get it to him by then or not. Also, at that time there will be PLENTY of WXGA version in country so that he could switch at that time and get it in plenty of time.

That is the winning strategy that I would use.

 

I'm held up because I ordered a TV tuner. It really would be nice to get an ETA on that

What's with the "Graphics Card" identification? "Generic VGA"?

 

from what i know there arent "real" 8600m gt drivers yet so I guess we do have to wait for that. hopefully there will be greater support for the 8m series soon.

 

Call me so we can discuss your ship date.

 

new here and was wondering how long the wait would be for a sagar2090 supra, if i ordered today or tomorrow.

any help would be great Paladin

 

Welcome to the forum tofumonxter!

Please go back and read the Press Release thread.

 

Ok folks. I buckeled and switched to a wxga. It seems this way I will get it quite soon so I guess its ok. I was slightly attached to the matte, but I was never gonna run anything at that high resolution anyways. I also sacrificed my 2 gig stick and switched to a 1 gig. I'll get another 2 gig stick when it shows up. Thanks for all the support everyone, and the keen advice Donald. I was starting to eyeball some Asus models on New egg as a last resort. I'm glad it looks like it won't come to that.

 

I'll be running Ubuntu as my primary OS too. I'm hoping Wine can satisfy my gaming needs though, cuz I don't really want to have XP again.

 

So who thinks they're in this coming shipment that went to Sager this week? As people find out about ship dates, post em!

 

I might be in the shipment next week, but I'm not sure how early next week due to my 1 x 2GB RAM stick. Other than that, there would've been nothing that delayed me.

 

hopefully i will be in the first of the wsxga in the end on july... just hoping... *fingers crossed*

 

Does anyone know if the sound in the sager supports 2.1 audio? Assuming you didn't get the usb sound card and are using the integrated that came with it. Cause my sub isn't working, but the satalites that came with it are.

And if not, can anyone suggest a good 2.1 card? Don't really need a 5.1 atm.

 

Ha, I just love how ppl are jumping ship and goin for the glossy screen... just means my Matte is getting closer and closer to me

 

Rule: If it has a headphone port, it supports 2.1 - .1 just means the sub, which the speaker system should split the frequency via a crossover anyway between the main satellite drivers and the subwoofer

 

Damn now i gotta go return it.

 

I'm probably part of that shipment since I ordered well before 7/5 with 1 x 1GB RAM and a WXGA screen. The wait is slowly killing me

 

Any other sound questions - just let me know...

 

I'm assuming by "it" you are referring to the laptop. Have you done everything to make sure the problem is with the laptop and not with the speakers?

[I hope the answer is "obviously, I have done all the testing I could to isolate the problem to the laptop".]

 

I would call for tech support first...they may well be able to guide you to proper settings that will resolve the issue.

 

I think he may have meant the speaker system....

Darn it Glue dont be so vague

 

maybe he thought that he could only use headphones but hearing that he can use 2.1 hes going to return the headphones?

 

Yeah, I thought about that but I decided that I would expect him to say "return them" if he was talking about the "speakers". I realize he could be talking about the "speaker system" and in this case "it" could be the laptop or the speaker system.

 

I have a random question here!

I just read it from one of the sticky posts saying that

Compal is 'The world's 2nd largest laptop maker.'

Now, I have to ask

"then who is THE largest loptop maker in the world??"

 

Quanta. Compal and Quanta always vie for the lead, and the two of them account for about 70+% of all laptop barebones made in the world.

 

Quanta is the largest and like Compal, they are located in Taiwan.

Edit: Donald you beat me by a second, we both posted at 2:58 PM.

 

thanks guys!!

I have never heard of Quanta before!! lol

but it's ok.. i didnt even know asus or compal or sager before i came here..
