    Don't mean to steal your thunder Chiz, but I just about ordered the same exact laptop (Well, the European equivelant: "Nexoc Osiris E703")

    So, I'm also eagerly awaiting my order :)

    Lol. I like how rebranders name their models... For Eurocom it's the m570U "Divine". It's a divine machine indeed lol :). They also have the F-Bomb, the Emperor, the Phantom and the Enigma (like those ones).

    I was going to begin a new thread, however I noticed your thread and decided to add to it.

    I recently ordered the same Sager model. I'm having it shipped to my parents home while I'm still on patrol; when I'm finished with this patrol I'll be flying to pick up my car across the country, then driving up to my parents for a visit and to retrieve my newly purchased laptop.

    I decided to purchase the laptop through discountlaptops, so far so good. I'll see next week-ish if it is delivered without incident.

    Just got the laptop today! All I can say, is that I'm compleltey awestruck. This thing is much larger than I thought, but it doesn't matter since the screen is majestic and everything runs so smoothly!

    My laptop came in yesterday and I havent been able to put it away since. Its the best computer I have ever had, hands down. Everything runs well, the screen is amazing and I had no problems setting it up. And no dead pixels (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!)
