8790 Painted Summit Silver (first look)

I've barely got anything set up and installed yet, but I said I'd get a pic or 2 up for those that wanted to see the color.

Here are some pics...

I don't think anything could do it justice though. It really is a beautiful paint job (thanks PC Torque). The high gloss feel is really nice to the touch too... almost like a new car.

First pic out of box closed

Closed reflection

First pic open on powered

More to come eventually. I got some things to figure out first. Great paint job though... no flaws I can detect.

Also.. no dead pixels either!!

Very nice....

Enjoy, it definitely seems like $500 is a really good price to pay for the absolute quality of work these guys do. Lot of money, but you get more than you paid for.

Compare the price to the 4780 as that is what it really is, except it has an AMD processor.

Compare the 8790 from that organization to PC Torque and you will quickly see my opinions about it.

It will be called the 4750. August is the expect release date (I think). My point was that you were accomplishing a price comparison on the wrong model. The 8790 has much more than the 4780 and the 4780 equates the closest to the one you were looking at.

why don't you list of what you like and post it here so that people can help you better ..
for example: 15.4" or 17" , amd64 or intel, and the most important thing is what are you going to use it for (school, games ...) ... and your budget ..

right now the 8790 has everything i want ( battery life is a lil low for only 1 hour) but its got everything i want so far. i was just wondering if i should wait it out till sagar has a amd64 model in the lineup
