New Guy with Many Sager Questions

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi, i've been looking around for months and finally registered. I want to get a 5670 or 8887 really badly, but I have a few questions that I didn't find answers for looking through past posts. They are:

Battery Life: I read that 1 battery lasts 1 and a half hours on the 5660 and 2 and a half on the 8886. Is that true or are those numbers reversed? Can Throttling down the cpu from say 3.0 to 2.0 ghz on battery save much juice in them?

Speakers: Everyone says the sound is horrible. I used to have a Compaq Presario 1800 laptop with jlb speakers. For a laptop i thought they were fine. How would you say the sager speakers compare? I am not expecting symphony quality, I just want to know if they are way below the average quality of not.

Sound Card: I know there's a SPDIF out on it, but will that double as a 2 channel analog out? Can I use analog speakers, not digital?

Financing: Anyone know of an easy way to pay for one of these? right now i'm applying for a new credit card with 0.0 apr on the first 6 months. What about leasing? I have my own tiny business (all registered with teh government) as a sole propreitorship, can that get me a good lease?

Any answers are very greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Those times are with the CPU throttled down. The 888X gets more batt life off the single battery because it's a bigger battery (6000mah vs 4000mah). The 56XX has the 2nd internal battery option though that is 3400mah. Some people note getting 3 hours light use out of the 88XX, but our DVD playback tests were just under 2 hours.

They are not below avarage from my experiences. As far as high end laptops go these days, I would call them avarage.

Yes, you can use analog speakers and easily change the settings in the control panel.

You can lease, we offer leasing options for lease and lease to buy. If you can get a 0% interest CC and can pay it off in the time, I would go that route for the lowest price it will end up costing you.

Thanks for letting me know the answers to all my questions so quickly. Who do I contact in regards to leasing information, i.e, payments, payment size, time to payoff, total final price after leasing?

First lay out what it is you're wanting by price and spec, then call our rep Paul Martin and he can be reached at 877-479-9111 X5008. You get the cash discount for leasing also.
