My EX7 is on the Fed-X truck to be delivered to Hypersonic this afternoon for repairs, I really pray
they can resolve the heat and cpu issues so I can play all my war games on it. If Hypersonic had not been sold and moved out of New York with new employee's I would have never sent it back because of the horror stories I have read here about how long it took to get it back but more important was the many people who said it came back in worse shape then it left.
I will give the new owners and the tech who is in charge of my case a thumbs up
so far, they sent me the shipping box due to I threw out the box my computer came in and they also used fed-x's overnight to return the laptop to them, so I sent it off yesterday morning and they will get it by 3pm today.....cant wait to get it back and try nit out....I sort of feel like I originaly felt when I ordered it and then disapointed
when it wouldnt boot into the os...had to format and re-install..then within 2 days a stick of memory died...they did overnight me a new stick...but the performance was never there...
.....It worked great for a basic laptop but for games...not worth a crap......
I belive that maybe the 3.8gig cpu may have been just a bit more than the laptop could handle ...I recall Sager removing the 3.8 cpu option from their configurations....then I saw Alienware follow the same.......
Hopefully these new guys that bought Hypersonic can work some magic and turn my ex7 into the machine it was advertised on their site to be
. If the guys at OCZ are better techs and take pride in their work....I do know that talking with them now is a 1005 Better than talking with the techs in New York when they were under differant management...so if this also transfers into their work and knowledge skills I am sure I will be pleased with my EX7 when I get it back....I am not in no hurry to get it back although I hope it dont take to long but the laptop has less than 30 hrs on it since I bought so I didnt use it that much...it was maily bought for trips and vacation so I could play my games while in the Hotel....So for me I would rather have them check it out real good and get it up to the performance a machine with my specs ahould have and if that takes a little longer than most repair jobs...so be it...as long as it comes back as a gaming laptop
and not just a internet machine..
....
Will keep yall posted on the progress.....be sweet if they cant fix it and offer me one of the new EQ7's configured with options that would be the same price I paid for the EX7 which was a little over 4 grand (about $ 4,200) give or take $75 bucks ) after I ordered a second optical drive ( DVD player/ CD Burner) to go with the Dual Layer DVD burner that I had orginaly configured...that way I could burn exact copies of any CD or DVD I had without having to copy it to the hard drive and then burn it to a disk....I use Recod Now Deluxe as my burning software and it does a great job plus unlike the software that came with the EX7 and the add on drive....you dont have a lot of junk to go along with the burning software....Record Now just comes with a very good burning software and no music players ...photo editers...ect ect...
Well thats all I can say for now...keeping my fingers crossed that OCZ does what ever it takes to to remedy the problems with my laptop...even if thats means replacing the thing..

Maybe Pat can help me out.
I'm reviewing the Alienware quad and the Sager quad next week and the week after respectively. I'd love to put the Hypersonic next to these models and compare differences and performance.
That'd be most helpful (and my pleasure).
