    Sager has confirmed with Clevo that the M860TU will not support 44W+ processors or the 9800M GTX because of the thermal budget!

    No problems, the 8800M GTX uses less than 44W , so you're safe.

    3.5" won't fit in most laptops today. The Hitachi 500GB is 3.5".

    The Samsung 500GB is 2.5" and should work fine once it starts flowing in the channel.

    On that note any ideas when either powernotebooks or xotic will update their sites with info regarding the sager 5860? I understand exact dates will be hard to say but around when should we expect it?

    That reminds me of a comedy routine from some years ago. The main character's excuse for everything was "it must be lost in the mail". Utility check? It must be lost in the mail. Tax return? It must be lost in the mail. Library book? It must be lost in the mail. The lawnmower he borrowed from a neighbor? It must be lost in the mail. And his wife did not leave him: she must be lost in the mail.

    This whole stunt has done nothing but publicity for PCMW, let's see just how many people stand by them to the end.
    We already witnessed several people cancelling their order from them...

    tried to offer me a deal of some sort, but it didnt get that far.
    to save time on getting my moneu back i just said that im no longer actually coming to canada in the next while to pick it up and instead would have to get something over here in europe.

    I would have really told them the truth if they didnt actually have my money, but they will still have to wire back my funds, so i dont want them to take their sweet time bacause i was an ass on the phone.

    What if he photo shopped it for you on the m860tu laptop? Would that be adequate? LOL.

    Best of luck with the mycizmo deal man. I'll stick it out with PCMW, at least we got it covered on both 'pioneering' ends. :cool:

    Im yet with PCMW too.. they already charge me and answered all my emails, so there's no reason for me to cancel them...

    Did you see that now in the config page the 9800M GTX is now upgradable for $455 and an ETA to be announced.... at least that makes more sense now

    So +455 from the 8800M GTX? That is the most ridiculous pricing I've ever hear,that'd make a 1000$ from a 7950GTX...

    yeah, its pretty strange. and the OpenGL card is like $700 or something rediculous. Ah well, i got it on the sale day so we'll see what happens. I don't like that porshe picture as much eleron. I liked the red one you had before, that was hot. does anyone know how the ATI card would pair off against the 9800GTX. speculation please. It's $150 cheaper then the 8800GTX so i'm assuming it might be worse but ATI is cheaper so...

    i think its more of a scare tactic. they have mentioned the 9800m gtx already available from their site, but have just accepted that they cant deliver this promise soon to their customers, so they charge an unbelievable rate for an unnanounced card so no one else will want it.
