Hey all! Just registered after 3 month reader! Yip!

Anyways... I am looking to buy about a year from now and I was wondering if Sager may be making or thinking about making any new centrino lappys. The 3760 is nice but Sager has gotta make a new one some time cause it will get outdated... Actually not necesarily Centrino but Pentium M is what I mean. As well, is Intel making any new mobile processors anytime soon? Any ideas? Thanks for the replies!

Cheers to notebookforums

Intel's newest mobile processor is the centrino dothan, I think. It's suppose to be a very nice processor, much better than the previous centrino's. If sager does come out with on i'm sure that's what they'll use.

Anyway, I would think the 3760 could use a decent GPU, if it had the 9700 in it would definitely consider it. It would be sager's version of the cl56.

I bet in a year there will be mobile processors that are faster than P4's but can get 8+ hours of battery life and are nice n' cool. Amd's mobile efforts look promising, they will use lower voltage than even the dothan.

I just ordered the 3760 from PCT last Sunday, have not yet received it. I had been waiting for the new Dothan processors, and as soon as they were available... I jumped on it. Two days after I ordered, PCT started offering the 745 and 755... bummer but not the end of the world...
But then today I logged in and saw Clevo is releasing the M375EW which is upgrade for the M375E (the core of the 3760) with the Raedon 9700... ( Sager will surely be offering this any day now.
So I have yet to receive my laptop and it is already obsolete. The lesson is... no matter when you order, no matter how long you wait... you will never be future-proof and you will in all likelihood kick yourself for not waiting x-number more days/weeks. That said, I am sure I will enjoy my 3760 with the 735 Dothan and Raedon 9600. So in the end... just buy what is available today that best suits your needs and in a few years... upgrade. Otherwise... you are forever on the sidelines just waiting.

The Clevo is here:
http://www.clevo.com.tw/products/M37EW.asp
There is no guarantee that Sager will make a version using it... but... odds are they probably will. It is one of the few new Pentium-M products Clevo has on there site.

Hrm, it's a 128mb 9700, at that. 15.4" WUXGA is an option according to Clevo, too. Sounds pretty nice.

no prob. they just posted it today... I was there yesterday and it wasn't there... and I have to say, I wish I were getting this one instead of the one I ordered... but oh well...

As for the price... well... if I had to guess I would say $2300... of course that is pure speculation... who knows, Sager may decide to not even carry it.
