Kid, luckily, you will not have to RMA the whole laptop. Sager supports sending in the wireless module alone if you feel comfortable removing it. It is really quite easy to remove. It is under the keyboard on the upper left (your left -...

More grist for the mill. I also just tried the latest Omegas on my 8890. I had been running the last posted Sager drivers (7.97). I uninstalled the Sager drivers, rebooted and installed the Omegas. The installation went extremely...

bubbleman, to be fair, the pictures that Robin put up are the absolute worst case for this screen, i.e. a subtle color ramp from one shade of green to another. The screen is absolutely usable day-to-day. The 200,000+ colors that it does...

Robin, totally agreed on all points. I would send it back too if I were in your shoes. The SXGA is truly not a 24bit screen, no matter what Sager might be saying. There should be a note next to that choice informing people of the trade...
