Sager NP9370

Hey I wanted to ask if the sager np9370 was a good buy?
and wether msi is better?
is sagernotebooks,com good?

 

welcome to nbr

if you are thinking of buying from america then also take a look at some of the other clevo/sager resellers http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/656776-ask-resellers-questions-reseller-thread.html

if the 9370 is the 17" with option of twin graphics then its a monster of a laptop. (im in uk so not sure of all the new model numbers).

 

As MrDJ mentioned if you go with dual video cards it really cant be beat. MSI also makes good computers and include up to the 680M. If you did the Sager with a single 680M the performance would be pretty much identical.

 

If you're going to consider the 9370, then I think you should consider Alienware. Alienware are built better, better audio, and have impressive battery life for 17" without the limitations of switchable graphics. Only downside to Alienware are their horrible reflective glass displays.

 

Don't worry about switchable graphics on the NP9370 as it doesn't have it. The NP9170 does and there are some issues with Enduro which seem to be getting resolved, but the NP9170 also doesnt do dual video cards.

 

Considering stock specs with the dual 670M, yes, the np9370 is a good buy and a darn good rig. MSI and Sager are fairly comparable as far as build quality (matter of preference/personal experience).The 9370 is a beast, and a good option.

 

Thanks,
What about the heating, does sager have it better because of the two exhausts compared to msi one or does that not make a difference?

What do you means it dosent have switchable graphics?

 

The cooling on the Sager is definitely pretty good. The dual fan/heatsink for the GPUS definitely keep it running cool.

The 9370 doesn't support Optimus or Enduro, so you don't have to worry about issues relating to either. The issues concerning the 7970 GPU that you asked about are all centered around Enduro and without that actually supported on the machine, you won't have any trouble with the GPU.

Out Ninja'ed Mythlogic... yesssssss

 

Other laptops have whats called switchable graphics, where the integrated GPU on the CPU is used for some tasks, while the more powerful discreet GPU is used for gaming. The switching is automatic.

The P370EM does NOT have that, it uses the discreet GPU at all times, so because thats a little "less complicated" it doesn't have some of the issues as switchable graphics setups have.


Ninja'ed by Derek.. NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

alright thanks,
what about the warranty?
im an international custumer

 

The warranty will still be active even with being international but will require shipment back to the manufacturer. So in our example, if you were to buy from us/Sager, you would have to cover the cost of shipment to them and back as it's not an international warranty.

 

Its pretty close to the same with us, if you are international the warranty is still valid, however you are responsible for the back and forth shipping from the other country. A lot of our customers courier it to the US and then we pay for shipping to and from their couriers depot.
