I have bought 3 Sagers from Powernotebooks.com. A NP5660, A8887-V and now going to buy a NP8890. I have not purchased anything from Adam at PCTorque but have no doubt that he has an excellent customer service record as I have seen...

$200.00 for .14ghz????? 3.06 -> 3.20. Hmmm, not sure if that is cost effective. I am a gamer, but the speed increase, minimal, vs the price increase, substantial, does not seem to make good sense. I had planned on going for the...

Will the 8890 have the same LCD maker and model as the 8887? I know the current Lcd on the 8887 has a 200:1 contrast. Will the 8890 LCD have a 400:1 contrast and better picture, not including the 9600 over the 9000 in this comparison?

I have not used a Dell Inspirion 8100 so I do not know how the keyboard is. I had the Sager NP5660 and sold it to buy the 8887-V. The keyboard on the 87 is much better as it is bigger and very close to a regular desktop keyboard. The...

I agree battery with a longer life would be a good option....but you would still run into the same problem. 1 battery. Like a previous post.......having a second battery would allow you the time to possibly plug in the laptop so you...

I have a question regarding the design between the 5660 and 8887. I am wondering, why or what Sager was on when they decided to change a good concept to one that makes no sense. What I am referring to is on the 5660, there is a place...

Ok GS..thanks for the info....will change back to 60hz. I will probably follow suit. Back to the 3.2's until something gets done. Let us know what you find out about your OS install. Do not think it will help but worth a shot. Is...

Oberhammer, same thing is happening to me. I have tried both ways of installing the drivers and followed the instructions to the letter. I reboot a sure enough, 640x480. Then I have to change again the resolution. It seems to...
