You'd prefer to plug and unplug external applications everytime you take your laptop somewhere? I'll prob use this comp as my desktop replacement at college and I have an external monitor, HD, mouse, keyboard, printer, speakers, and floppy. I don't want to have to plug and unplug ever time.

I actually have 2 question.

1. My 5320 wireless connection to w.router is very poor even from 2,3 meters with eye contact. No connection from another room at all. How is your wireless?

2. It seems I'd installed all drivers, but still have unknown PCI device. Any ideas, what can it be?

In anwser to number one, Intel wireless cards SUCK! I've said it before and I'll say it again. THEY SUCK. I want to swich it out for an Atheros or an MSI card.

Number two, I dont know.

another trackpad question: is there a button that allows you to turn it on and off? So it won't bother you while you're typing.

Nope, sorry. But it doesnt get in the way when typing. At least for me.

Here I uploaded my system device manager screenshot(585K). Can you see some uninstalled device in my system, that you have installed?

I have no idea. Did you install your card reader? I dont think I saw that in the list.

He does have the card reader installed, but I don't see the digital camera installed on that. May want to check that.

Thank you for your replies.

I will check card reader as soon as I get to the laptop, but I think Texas Instruments PCMCIA device is card reader.
Integrated camera is installed and working (i usually turn it off by pressing Fn+F10 key).

Fear works great with medium/high settings but slows down with everything maxed.

Nice job on the review TwilightVampire. I've got an NP-5320 as well, and it is pretty much uniform with what you said.

This notebook does get somewhat loud, but not as loud as some I've had in the past.

It also has AXIOM...the swappable graphics card technology. I'd like to stick in an X1600 when they come out. I haven't tried removing the GPU yet...although I know it can be, I opened mine up when I took pictures for my review on NotebookReview.com. Have any of you tried removing it?

Thanks for the nice review.

Theres, unfourtenetly, about a 98% chance there WILL NOT be an upgrade for the graphics cards in our systems. I'd love to upgrade, but I know it'll never happen. The whole point of AXIOM, for now, is so you dont have to replace the whole motherboard if the graphics card goes bad.

Greetings RabenWolf - I'm going to hang around the Sager thread over here. A lot of people have them, good to have people with the same machine around me.

Well, it should be upgradeable, once the X1600 comes out that is.

You'd think, but, probably not. We can try to start a petition to have a motherboard/powersupply/firmware replacement, or whatever it takes if you wanted.

I'd LOVE to upgrade mine, I just know the chances are slim to none.
