Jumpy are we?

I would say give Sager a day or to to actually release the product!!!
I'm sure there will be info and pic galore once we get our hands on new models, but it's gonna take a day or 2 to get th einfo and pass it along.

Thanks for the info Dan. Doesn't look too exciting other than the imbedded Bluetooth module. The specs are similar to the Compaq 3000 which also uses the SIS chipset and desktop processor.

I wonder how the Bluetooth module works? I doubt there is more than one mini-pci slot. Could they be using a combo 802.11b and bluetooth mini-pci card? I have seen these but I didn't think they had been released for production yet.

But, the Compaq 3000 has a 16" screen.

Looks like a fixed floppy. Does that mean no second battery?

I spoke with Adam about this new machine and he doesn't think it allows two batteries.

He hopes to have it up on his site soon. It doesn't sound like anything that anybody on these forums will want.

Who's Adam?

On a shared video system, if you have 1gb of ram, what would be the loss of video ability? Especially if you were not using the machine for gaming?

Shared video is not very good. If you do ANYTHING even remotely related to multimedia (e.g. video- or photo- editing, 3d-rendering, gaming, etc.) performance will suffer substantially. System RAM is much slower, even if you have a lot of it. I would not recommend shared video AT ALL, ever, unless you only plan to use things like Word and surf the internet.

Cheers.

I read a review about those desknote laptop computers, (same integrated video, I believe), they aren't totally useless for gaming, they said it got a little choppy with all the settings down in warcraft 3, and counter-strike was totally playable. I know plenty of people who just play counter-strike.

Much slower, yes, but useless (for gaming)? No.

Useless, no. Near useless, yes.

You're talking about CS. How old is that? Of course it will run great on any decent computer.

You alluded to the future as well, if War3 runs choppy, how well can the system run future games?

Eventually, CS will go the way of the dinosaur. (But not anytime soon) The games that will run 'fine' on it will soon be outdated or outdone, and you will be left to wishing you forked over that extra cash...

Well, the most graphically intensive game I regularly play is counter-strike (I did play simcity4, gta3, warcraft3, but never for more than a couple of days ...) , and it is one of the most popular games in the united states (the most popular?) . By the time it dies out, there will be far superior technology out there. So we'll be able to play "counter-strike 2: the terrorists' revenge."

It is definately not good if you want to play every single game that comes out from now to 2005, but if you just want to play the occasional game of counter-strike, or quake3 or something, it is acceptable, especially if you are willing to go down in resolution (they should be playable at 1024x768, which I am guessing would be the default resolution). It is especially nice for the college student who wants to do just that, and can't afford the latest and greatest.

I'd be jumping for joy if I could play CS on my laptop.

And I did not allude to the future.

Duke Nukem Forever comes to mind, for some odd reason. Hehehe.
