Sager NP2090 Owners Lounge

As long as it can run Supreme Commander better than my desktop, I'll be happy. Which it will.

 

Yeah... same here, but for me all it's going to have to do is run SC at all to beat my desktop.

 

I certainly know how that feels....that's how I am with about every single game released in the past 3 years....

 

i got my sager force from powernotebooks the other day.i have been using it alot past two days.let me say it is a amazing laptop.screen is crisp sounds is loud and laptop is light.the is no heat issue used it full 6 hours straight no problems.so far i am very happy with it no problems as of yet.


i am very happy i order with powernotebooks since donald told me to order the sager force.

 

PICS and VIDEOS plz Killakk i want something to sooth me

 

I'm having a dilemna. Should I install XP or Vista? I will be playing games, but I've heard that the performance difference in games isn't significant enough to warrant choosing Vista over XP. Is this true? I've installed Vista before on another machine, and really liked it, but I never played games on that machine.

 

Will my Sager 2090 with 2.2GHZ, 2gb ram and the Nvidia 8600 run games better than my. 2.6 GHZ, 756 ram with atio9800 pro pc?

I imagine it will just because of the ram but I just want to make sure what to expect, lol.

 

I'm assuming your 2.6GHz processor is a single core, while the Sager NP2090 has the Intel Core2 Duo. The laptop will be a lot better than your desktop, believe me, the jump from single core to multi core is very noticeable, it will make you happy with the non-lag that comes with it.

 

Not to mention the 8600 will kick the 9800 Pro around like a rag doll.

 

yay, thats what i wanted to hear from "Sagerist" lol, i agree with them too +1

 

*sits impatiently* everyone who has received one of these had better be posting pictures ASAP in order to make all of us realize what we have been waiting for... what can i say? I'm a very visual person

 

I got the Xotic Force rather than the Sager so I'll post pics in the Compal forum once I get mine.

 

lol, i want super high resolution pics! hahah jk, show a video! cant wait, i need the anxiety to be suprressed.

 

i got the force off of Xotic as well and I'm just about to go nuts over here out of anticipation!!!!!

 

Anyone have an answer to my OS question on the previous page?

 

I'll be using Vista 64bit for everything, and I'm sure it'll be fine for me.

You might see a little bit slower performance with Vista now, but once the drivers mature it will be on par with XP. So for now, it depends what you want. If you find that something critical doesn't have drivers for Vista yet, maybe install XP. But almost all games should run fine in Vista provided you have atleast 2GB.

 

I'm going to dual-boot since I need XP to be able to connect to my work remotely. I will be using Vista as my main OS though.

 

dual booting fedora 7 and vista for me.

 

Same as expo. Looking forward to using beryl- even compiz chewed up my Millenium G450 and spat it out.

 

I plan to write my own personal review of the NP2090 when it arrives, I've been talking about it so much I suppose it couldn't hurt to talk about it more.

If I happen to get my camera from my brother, I'll be sure to put lots of pics.

 

I'd love to help out with pictures too once I get mine Delicious 10 megapixil images of awesomeness...

 

hurray, but hopefully ill receive mine b4 you! lol ;p

 

Spelling > You

 

If anyone wants a bag for the laptop you can get one for cheap at best buy

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7848779&st=7848779&type=product&id=1158103765061

also Circuit City has Antec Notebook Cooler for $15 - $15 mail in rebate = $0

 

cool, i think i might go get it right now. lol

 

I checked out my local Best Buy and they don't have that bag.
As for a cooler, I ordered a Zalman from Newegg. My laptop and my cooler are most likely going to arrive on the same day.

 

i think imma wait, cause normaly after school starts, they have really good bags for cheap prices.

 

As a follow-up to this message, the bags still seem to be available.

The Antec Notebook Cooler is Out of Stock online at this time at Circuit City, though some local stores will have them available. All three of the ones local to me are out of stock so I guess I will just order a Zalman unless anyone knows of a better one for the 2090.

BTW, I just ordered my 2090 from www.xoticpc.com last night and am hoping it comes with the August shipment. I went with the WSXGA screen and no TV tuner.

 

yeah its a pentium 4, since pc and laptop certianly do get different preformance when it gets to games so I was just making sure my laptop would be better.

I currently run CSS on almost everything high, with no AA though, and dont really lag so CSS should be fun on my laptop, however half life 2 episode one, only get about 1/4 of the way in the game after that I go into a level where the game just lags, I think my pc just cant handle it...

 

will this fit with the 9cell battery sticking out in the end? cause if it fits i would buy it!

 

you can take your battery off

 

Yeah, if you're getting a bag, then why not just take the battery out and put it in one of the slots. I mean I can see why you want to have a perfect form fitting bag.

 

for some reason, i didnt even think about removing the battery...lol i love how i can jump into these forums and becom "enlightened" lol.

 

For 8 bucks, if the thing is crap I will just let the kids put their matchbox cars in it. In stock at my local BB, only pain is that I have to go in the store again this month......

 

You hate best buy that much?

lol..
even if they had an accidental plan..
i wonder if you could stil return it like that..

 

Well guys, I've been obsessed over these forums trying to find out everything about my precious np2090. This has completely taken over my summer thus far. Its time I move on. I'm going to try to do other things this summer besides just be on the computer all say. Thanks guys for being so friendly and helpful, I hope I was the same for all of you. I'd like to wish everyone good luck with their future laptops and I know we've all made the right choice. Bye guys.

 

lol, just go on a week long vacation out of cell service range and any proximity to the internet... it really helps to pass the time, but now I still have another week to wait...

 

According to xoticpc's forums the next shipment of 2090's from the manufacturer is expected in 5-9 business days.

 

When they were at their old store it was probably my favorite place. New store has the cattle corral for check out, for a time there they asked for your phone number at the register, tried to sell Sports Illustrated, etc. They also don't seem to have nearly as many deals on music and movies like they used to, Target beats them most of the time. Buying online is nice since I can avoid all of that and just pick up at the customer service desk, but I have switched mostly to Circuit City or online purchases.

I don't hate BB, I just dont like the experience in my town too much.

Edit - Chalk up another reason, last night they were listed in stock here and at the store near my work. Ordered it but this morning get an email that they dont have them, and they are now listed out of stock at both stores.... hmmph

 

I think it will because the laptop dimensions from xoticpc are
14" x 10.1" x 1.4~1.5" and the bags dimensions are 14.33" x 11.81" x 1.69" for the notebook compartment.

 

We really need a sticky for this thread...

 

My head is going to explode trying to figure out who actually has a 2090/IFL90 in theirs hands -_-

 

I'm out of room for stickies at the moment but am considering making a single general index sticky with a link to important threads.

 

I still dont think not that many.

 

im still waiting, hoping to get it next week....

 

i got mine today

 

got mine

 

Ok so that's what, 5 people I know for sure on this forum that have them. Six if I count myself getting one that was the wrong model and broken, and then waiting again hehe.

Alright then, thanks guys, hehe.



Damn, it might actually be closer to like 16-20 people! Donsell even has a review submitted I believe. Waiting on it.

 

I got mine yesterday (wsxga+)...very good service from xoticpc for shipping it on time...thanks Justin!!

First Impressions:
Excellent packaging.
All plastic (bad and good).
I LOVE the screen, wsxga+ matte is great, viewing angles are excellent.
Touchpad feels cheap...buttons are loud...but it works OK.
I really miss volume up/down buttons, Fn+F7-F8 is good enough for me.
Keyboard with little flex.
Gets a little warm under...by the HDD (7200rpm though).
Delete key is in awkward position...not absolute upper right.
I HATE Vista, I already wanted to keep my XP license for a while so I ordered just 1GB RAM...I can´t believe this OS can make this thing look bad. With 1GB...it feels SLOW and on XP should FLY...reinstalling soon.
Fingerprint works OK.
Don't know if it's Vista's fault but battery only shows charge %...not minutes.
Touchpad driver was not installed so I had to download myself to enable scrolling.
It doesn't feel that heavy (plastic plus)... little better than other 15.4" I've used (Gateway MX7515).
Battery life is great...3h+ on normal use (not gaming).
Webcam is excellent.
Slick design, I am getting used to it and loving it...but that's me, I'm Thinkpad lover.
In general, very good buy, I have to wait until installing XP for gaming so I will post further impressions.

Be patient, you'll enjoy yours when it gets to you

EDIT: I almost forgot...now I'm officially an OWNER !!
