    XXodd is just the Clevo D901C renamed. There are other names used like Sager N9262, Phantom , Comanche, Sabre etc. They are all the same. teh sager drivers for N9262 should work without problems.

    More addressess :D

    Hey folks,

    Thanks for the replies pretty helpful. I made up my mind I will go for an Xxodd since i will have local support. One last little Dilemma which laptop im going nuts cant decide, been searching for 2 months now. I am torn between the 5793 and the 9262. I love the 9262 its awesome but the price wow it is justified? for a quad more storage and sli? and the Sli its worth it? I heard many stuttering stories about it.

    Any advice/Help will be greatly appreciated.

    not just for quad core and SLI.... the 3 internal HDD storage is very appealing for those that want a lot of storage in their systems. :)

    IMHO sli isn't worth it.May be some time later you can fit a Q9300 in a 5793.May be,I am not sure though.

    It has better cooling and 3 HDD.So in the end your choice of power vs Mobility.
