XoticPC's Sager NP5793 Pictorial Mini-Review by Prasad007

Lol, that`s it. I gotta review something. Maybe the new 9800M GTX if it gets released in the summer

 

Damnit lol ! I'll hopefully be able to race you to it (if my laptop happens to support by some chance!)

 

Happy gaming

 

awwww Prasad Thats not fair !!! LOL jk.

Maybe I should review the bag that came with my m57ru

 

Trust me....the orange truly looks much better in person...it's like a warm coppery color....orange/black is a cool combination in my opinion.

 

agree!!!!!!!!

 

Hitachi 200GB(2 plates) 7200RPM 16MB cache SATA 150:



Yours have better maximum(4.1MB/s more) because the plates(2) used on an 320GB drive have more data density than the plates of an 200GB drive.

So that 320GB drive have 60% more data density on plate than my 200GB drive, but because of it´s rotational speed(5400rpm) that dont translate on a 60% performance increase.

The latencies, wich are better on the 7200rpm drive by 20%, may appear not relevant. But thats not true, just multiply that latencies each and every time that the head reads/writes data, and that 20% increase will became seconds...


Both are great drives and very comparable, the 320GB 5k one for its density and better peak speed, the 200GB 7k for its latencies/seek times and better minimum speed(not to relevant). And here we can conclude that SATA 300 is just an maketing feature, SATAs 150 provide 150MB/s wich any notebook HDD can´t use fully, so why do we need 300MB/s?

Good luck with your M570RU, fantastic machine it is...

 

Thanks @ Audigy for the comparison!

Absolutely true!!

 

I was actually waiting for somebody to post their 320-200 GB HDtune test.
Thanks Audigy, this helped in showing that the 320 GB is awesome indeed.
Just check my crappy results.
120GB Fujitsu 5400 :

 

The 320GB drive is very good indeed... now it´s best to buy an 320GB 5k one than an 200GB 7k. The 5k will be better on server matter(better read rates), the 7k will be better on workstation matter(better write and seek times)...

But more 120GB face to an 200GB drive is the choosing factor...

EDIT: Thats results are normal on that drive, if you have your SATA drive on IDE mode, enable AHCI(Advanced Host Controller Interface) to enable NCQ.

What you need is this :

Just remove the heatsink and use it... I wonder if it will melt the chassi

 

I`ve seen this WD. I don`t think it`s going to show up in notebooks though, since it`s going to build up heat.
But a 10k driver would be nice indeed. I`m also worried about the price for that matter.

 

Hmmm.... I couldn't care more about speeds! Just wish the storage were more!! Atleast 500GB should have been mainstream by now in laptops... with largest sizes in the terabyte range!! Now THAT would be sweet..

 

Dude, if you had my speeds , 1 Tb would still suck.
I`m getting a new hd this summer, probably the best one there will be on the market

 

Just buy an external HDD... I recomend by Firewire400 instead USB 2.0 because the sustained rates.

If you need HDD on the go, buy an 2.5" one. The firewire socket on the M570RU doesn´t provide power so in this case you will need to go for an USB 2.0 one.

If you stay near a power socket, go for an 3.5" one, better money/storage ratio, speeds too. Here go for an Firewire400 one.

I have one of these(1TB):


With eSata, Firewire400/800 and USB 2.0.

 

Hmmm.... no. I'm fine with 320GB for now. By the time I would need more, there will be better internal laptop drives available! And IF not, then I'll get those pocket-sized WD drives Like the current 320GB external pocket-friendly WD drive

 

I´ve bought an External 160GB 5400RPM 2.5" FreeCom, a bargain

Inside was an Samsung Speedpoint SATA... Clearly limited by its USB 2.0 bus:

 

i also bought a seagate free agent 2.5" external and opened it up to swipe its drive for a compaq we have at the office and it was a momentus 5400.4!!! inside.. nice find. not the fastest drive but a very nice one indeed...

 

@Audigy: If you actually read the article, it says:

ie it won't fit in ANY current laptop without mods...
Unless you're intending on using it via an expresscard to e-sata converter, that'd be fine (though I'm not sure about the transfer rates over that)

 

^^^ correct.. i just saw that myself while i was reading it..

 

W00t! I just got a backpack for this laptop, and it's black and orange just like the laptop!! It matches! Will post pictures later!

 

sick... plain sick happy with the purchase.. i wish i still have blood for gaming though

Will recommend my friends to get these

 

please more info!! that sounds sweet..

 

What kind is it?!?! I have a Black and Blue SwissGear back pack that I love, but it isn't black and orange!! Jealous!

 

It's a Swiss something.... bag lol! Don't really know the name, removed the purchase tag with the name on it. As such there's no label with a name on it. But it PERFECTLY matches with the same orange shade And majority of it's colour is black and a little of that orange, just like the laptop itself!

 

They make very high quality bags....

 

I bought this one for my 5793 and it fits perfect. I travel some and this bag has very easy access and looks great. http://www.booqbags.com/s.nl/it.A/id.276/.f?sc=12&category=-112

 

^^^ ouch 225$ ....

 

Nice bag..but DAMN..$225? Double OUCH!

 

Mine was about $64.

 

Yours is made by swiss gear right?

 

Yup... But discounted price from a sale-running Dubai store

 

what model??

 

I'm not sure bro! I removed the tag with the name on it. Otherwise there isn't as such on the bag itself! But I can tell it's a good sturdy bag

 

Yep its high priced, but if you could feel the silky smooth interior and how all the compartments have magnetic closeurs. Its really worth the price I think.

 

Nice review man. Laptops always look better in real pictures instead of company one. 9200 on 3dmark is awesome too especially for the price. Hope you have a good vaca

JGR

 

Bought one SwissTravel for my M570RU for 55$, very good quality.

 

Here's the bag I bought. I love this thing, plenty of pockets and carries easily and very comfortable

SwissGear 17" Backback

 

I still use the backpack that came with the laptop. And it`s sufficient. But I might have to switch to one with far more cushioning...

 

A notebook bag is a deeply personal, subjective decision, that reflects the ongoing relationship between the notebook and the notebook's caregiver.

This does it for me:

 

^^ That is absolutely fantastic!! Bravo Shyster!! Bravo!! I'll have another Long Island just for you!

 

So Shyster, do you bag on your lap or lap the bag?
Isn`t that a doggy bag ?

 

haha lol @ Shyster ! Question is... would it fit a 17" ??

 

Sure would. The standard grocery bag is 12" x 7" x 17" so, since the 9262 is 11.75" x 15.5" x 2.35" it would just fit into a standard grocery bag, with a 1.5" excess edge that you could just barely fold over at the top. Yyou could even slip the power brick in along side the notebook.

The bigger question, though, is whether you would want to put a beautiful 9262 in anything less than a mink-lined vault-like briefcase?

 

You probably need a titanium plastoid reinforced with plexiglass and kevlar coated superlight and superdense bag.
Imagine tripping while carrying the notebook. Wham, instant earthquake.

 

Regrettably, we don't need to imagine - that scenario was played out here on the forum.

 

Lol,dexgo and a 6pack
Actually, no laptop bag will help if you drop it, unless it`s built on air cushioning and magnetic shields..which may mess up the electronics...
Oh, captain Picard,help me out here

 

haha lol Well I'm back from Dubai now, and can finally take pics of the bag and more and put them up later!

 

i actually addicted to the free bag which sager gave me. after years with fancy bags, it feel great to have something plain looking. also significantly reduced the risk of getting stolen.
