8790?? Oh, It doesn't have an integrated floppy -- but everything else and the 7-in-1 reader is better IMHO.

kivawolf, give us some more details as to how and what you want to use the laptop for.

eg. I am a rich/poor/smartass bastard that can afford l-go but prefer Sagers
School/downtrodden worker/contractor
gamer/lamer/wimp/nerd
do several chi-squared regressions before brekky/have to use a calc to add 2+2
wannabe Fellini director/make pornos/into landscape pics
investor/looser/think its cool to talk about GDP when chatting up chicks
work with every legacy system known to man and need every single port that the 8890 has on it and then some (simultaneously of course)/like blue flasing LEDs

Unless you specify what you want to do with the thing we can't give you any real advice. Otherwise I would say just by any laptop on the market. Most of them work (some are even fire breathers - go Compaq )

I am a normal student, Well, my parent can put 2000$ for lappy. All i want is to get the most powerfull lappy i can get and the coolest one too. I am gamer, if not i will buy sager. 5680 luck very nice, but 8890 have more fearturesfor allmost the same price.
So i am thinking about 2 model

5680-S with 3.0Ghz, 60G 7200RPM, 54G Wireless, Dual Battery
Too big and heavy, not very cool. I dont carry around that much but still when i do.

8890-S With 3.0Ghz, 60G 7200RPM, Wireless.
More fearture


The Internal Wireless in 8890, is it 54G??

Thank man.

i'm in a similar situation kiva

i'm going with the 8890 because of the more features plus the full size keyboard

the internal wireless on the 8890 is NOT true 54G. it will work on 54G networks, but will not operate at 54Mbit speeds, only 11Mbit

besides, it's cheaper to go with an aftermarket solution as it is with the ram.
