    What's the likelyhood that Sager/Clevo will follow the trend of MSI and ASUS and release a 15.4" notebook with Montevina and a 9800M GS? I really like Sager notebooks but I'd really like a 15.4" notebook with a 9800M that costs less than $1600. I was going to get the 17" that is on sale but I would be SO much happier with a 15.4". The new ASUS G50VT-A1 almost won me over until I read about the potential keyboard/sound/lag issues and the orange color.
