Just pick up 8790 w/ wsxga from sager!!!

Sager's saleman just called me and told me to come and pick up my 8790 if i want! I will post pic and review later. Here's what i saw so far: This system looks so much better than in pictures. The glossy screen isnt bad at all. the resolution is AMAZING! everything is crystal clear with no dead pixel. the saleman even open it when i was there in the showroom so i could see if i have dead pixel or not. this laptop is really heavy compare to the apple powerbook 17 i also own. i guess power comes with a price ; ).

yep they're ready for shipping or so i was told. the saleman called me because i live 10 min from sager and he said no point in shipping. what i noticed from this machine is that all the problems stated before by other users are gone. the heat issue - i put my face on it and it doesn't even feel remotely close to being too warm or hot. noise issue - i barely notice it. the power brick was pluged in for 2 hours and yet i was able to put it near my cheek without getting burn. all i can say is...WOW! Oh yea...for the wireless connection, i took it back to work, turned it on...and instantly i'm online! i mean literally i was online after i put in the password. this is by far the best laptop i've ever owned.

You ordered yours on May 3rd didn't you? I ordered after 6PM EDT, on May 5th. Might not have "hit" this batch..

Question for bigbadbns - if this is indeed the new variation from Sager with the fixed issues, post a picture or send the model/version info so we can see if its different. I don't have my 8790 yet but would like to prepare ahead and make sure I get the new variation.

yes, ordered on monday, may 3rd....sometime in the morning....good thing i put it on the credit card instead of waiting to get a money order....
it works out, i pay the extra 50 for the credit card, but my visa card doubles the manufacturer's warrantee from 1 year to 2....which would cost an extra 80 dollars from pctorque....
i'm going out on a limb in thinking this machine will be a 'keeper' (wont feel that i need to upgrade in a year, like i did with my 5660)...
