Price Check! 8790

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hey all,

With Justin@XoticPC showing off his orgasmic review of the 9260 and my jaw-dropping expression of the 5790, I'm really starting to look at selling my baby.

But.... I have no idea how much a strong 2-year old laptop, in decent shape, would go for.

So, I'm gonna throw out the specs, pros, and cons of the system and you tell me what you would pay for it.

Ahem...

Sager 8790
Display: 17" WSXGA+ LCD (WideScreen 1680 X 1050)
Color: Standard Factory
Processor: P4 3.2GHZ Northwood CPU
Video: 256MB ATI Radeon Mobility 9700
RAM: 2GB 400MHz Dual Channel (2-1024MB)
Main HDD: 60GB 7200RPM
Secondary HDD: 60GB 7200RPM
Media Drive: 8x DVD+- combo drive with DVD+R DL
TV Tuner/ Subwoofer/ Battery:
Subwoofer + 8 Cell battery
Floppy Drive (required to install RAID): Yes (External [USB])
Modem: 56K RJ11 Phone Modem
Network Card: 10/100/1000 NIC
Operating System: Windows XP Pro
Case: Basic Sager Carrying Case
Spare Battery: Yes (9-cell)
Wireless Network: Internal 802.11g TURBO (108Mbps)
Card Reader: Internal 7-in-1 Card Reader
Camera: Integrated Digital Video Camera 1.2 MP

Cons:
Minor wear where the laptop lid meets the top of the base
One white pixel near bottom right hand corner (very unnoticeable)

The DVDRW has been giving me issues as of late, being unable to burn DVDs... can read DVD's and read/burn CD's fine... it will be sent in after college classes are over for checkup before 11/07 warranty expiration.

I'm looking at $1000 as a solid number for the specs. Thoughts? The review is in my signature for a complete walkthrough of my time with it.

Is this RAID 0 or 1? Also what was the price when you bought it?

It's not set up right now for RAID, but the system is capable of RAID 0 or 1.

I paid $2K for it... read the review for the complete price.

You know whats funny about my 8790 right now is that it's still works after 3 years, but my new HP dv9000t after 7 months "bit the bullet", damn frying BIOS. I'd get rid of mine if it wasn't so damned reliable.
