One year ago almost to the date I had a problem with my Sager 4060, purchased in August 2003. The HD crashed and it had to be RMA'ed. Now, one year later, I believe the same exact thing happened. I returned to my laptop after having...

I go to Virginia Tech and own a Sager 4060. I often am required to take it to class, and it is not a problem at all. Even my friend who has one of those massive Alienware ones (a Sager 5680 clone) doesn't have a problem with size,...

Uh oh...I'm about to send my Sager away tomorrow for what I think is a HDD problem... but I start school again on the 18th, so I really need it as close to that date as possible. I don't want to be out a computer for the first month...

I'm ready to send away my 4060 for repair tomorrow (a thread about my problems is in the 4xxx tech support forum). Due to the nature of my problem, I'm guessing that my hard drive may need to be replaced. If this is the case, will any...

Since last week, my 4060 has been having trouble staying alive. It started with random reboots, and the system loading to the message "No Operating System Detected." When it did manage to load Windows, it was EXTREMELY slow...

I own a 4060, but don't come here all that often. It's still a great deal for the money, especially for someone like me who doesn't necessarily need/want all the features in a bigger, fatter (and more expensive) notebook.

Just got my Sager 4060 (proud to be a minority!) and I couldn't be happier with it. But I did notice one bad pixel, and I'm more curious about it than anything. What is a bad pixel? Do they develop over time, or will any of them be...

I've had a RAID 0 array in my desktop for years, with the system on a separate physical disk. Unfortunately, I got hit with the unluckiness of RAID 0 going bad. On another note about holding out for the 8890: will the price of the...
