Hypersonic Aviator FX7: Ordered

the homeless shelter cut off my net access so I will have to check and post from the libary. I may not be able to post after lunchtime as soup and bible thumping is at noon. today might be a good day as rumors are they are giving out socks.

Im confused... you live in a homeless shelter yet own 4 alienwares and have ordered a 6 grand laptop from hypersonic? Jeez, didnt think rent rates were that high.

I actually own four AW desktops, one AW laptop, and two self-built rigs. I drive two rigs. One is a 2004 Toyota Highlander. The second is a 2001 PigglyWiggly Shopping Cart (imported from Alabama cause I like their shopping carts better).

ZGold550, u wanna come over and share some Mad Dog 20/20 with me?

My shipdate as of now is still 11/25. That is 11/25/05 not 11/25/06. But is that 11/25/2005 or 11/25/3005 ? That I know not. If I were waiting on the Dell XPS 2 with AMD X2 and 7800 GTX in Chameleon with custom paint it would be 3006 at the earliest . . . oh, here come the neg repping D3ll trollz . . .

Sager

Is also dependent on when Clevo releases the product. If you are that desperate for this machine with what you have listed, its not going to land any faster by switching labels.

Sager maybe cheaper and if its a drab gray/black block of plastic and wires you want fine get it. Those who have or are ordering a Hyper do so because its what we want. We all did the research and thats why we landed here.

If your waiting for someone to tell you what you should do, then you should have listened to that old Dell commercial. Its your money not ours.

Its like they say

You are comparing 2 totally different machines/chipsets. The PM is fine, the FX is fine too, its that one is more powerful than the other. If you want the PM maybe you should look at the Turino AMD machines as well. Speedwise they are too close to care.

Just that I agree with some of the others with the '"Centreno" chipset you maybe short changing those games you already bought. Not that they wont run but you will not get the "Big Bang" that they would give you on the FX.

If your ordering the Sager now because of the wrong price quote, take advantage of it. But you'd probably kick yourself when the FX's start rolling out because you didn't want to wait.

Hoss, my dead big buddy, be patient. We can wait it out together. When I waver you support me and visa versa. Lets stick to our guns.

im sure you will love the new machine DB...

Both will have the same GPU, which is the main bottleneck in games. But IMO the Athlon FX is far superior in performance to a P-M... its also more powerful. Depends what you whats more important to you. I personally like mobility, so i have mobile processors in my laptops, but many people like to have a solid DTR.

this is my order

I really like this notebook but I'm not sure hypersonic can deliver as expected.

Greeting from Germany

I placed my FX7 order on 10/06. I was expecting it to be delayed, considering VoodooPC no longer has an ETA and sites like Eurocom are listing December 15th as the estimated ship date. Honestly, I'm not expecting this thing until around New Years, if not later. According to Luke over at PC Torque, it's still in testing phase at Clevo and is expected to ship early to mid December... meaning that by the time Hypersonic gets the units, with the turn around time for the paint and testing and all, I think we're looking at a late December/Early January arrival at best. Anything sooner is wishful thinking.

Hex we have about the same system except I am getting custom graphics on top of the cham paint. I am not getting raid but just two 7200 rpm 100 gig drives, Windows MCE 2005, no TV tuner. OTher than that, the same. Hyper said they would have it in from Clevo now (two weeks ago), today said they should have it in around another two weeks. I think this will be a pattern. I hope to have it by my next cross country trip (Jan 6th). We will see. Thank god I still have my trusty Alienware laptop just in case.

Well, I have an Xbox 360 on preorder as well. I wonder which I will see first, the Hyper lappy or the 360.

Darth,
Nice! What custom graphic are you getting? I was considering that and some customer text, but in the end I wasn't too sure how I'd like something like that on there for the rest of my laptop's life.

Can't wait for this laptop to be ready! Btw, I called and complained to hypersonic because no one bothered to call me to let me know my order was delayed. I mean, considering how much money I'm spending with them, the least they could do is call me or e-mail me to let me know the order was delayed. The one woman who always answers the phone hooked me up with free overnight shipping. Maybe you should try that too, or ask for a free upgrade elsewhere on the computer like a free tv tuner or something.

I am having them paint General Grevious on one side and Boba Fett on the other (Star Wars geek I am). I asked that they make sure the chammy paint is still visible on the lid.
