Sager's Answer to the Compal, countdown thread - Page 24  

Just in case anyone was wondering.... the 3790 started shipping today. Just thought you would want to know

^^^^^^^^^

Hallelujah!!! I Want Reviews!!!

I still want to know if the 12 cell 3790 battery will fit in the 3760.

I have no problem with Falcon Northwest. I have known some Falcon Northwest owners and they have all been happy with the product. My biggest issue with Falcon is that they don't offer much of a selection of notebooks.

I don't care for Voodoo PC, for a couple of reasons. I don't get the feeling from their website that they take quality control and customer service very seriously. I haven't dealt with them myself, but some of the stories there are pretty bad. I think that given that, there is no way to justify the inflated pricing. I also don't care for ElP, who, as I mentioned earlier, has been caught in at least one lie about one of his products. Also, ElP has a tendency to knock his competitors. I hate that. Sell your product on its own merits. I believe that the only reason sales people knock other peoples products is that they know those products are better than their own.

One thing I will say about this type of operation, be it Falcon, Voodoo, Hypersonic, Savrow, etc. I think its ridiculous to complain that it takes a while to get a computer from them. The system is being custom built to your needs, and that takes time. While I think it would be nice if they would keep some kind of inventory around, they all seem to think that there isn't a business case for this.

Yes! Can't wait for the reviews!

hohohohahaohohohahohohoh...

* trembling with anticipation *

it's hard man... my projected purchase date is still 2 weeks away...
plus shipping it be 3 weeks b4 i get my hands on it...
btw... any good usb tvtuners out there?

Did i say i was complaining about waiting for my gf's voodoo, i dont think i did. I think these horror stories are just plain bad luck. I will probably buy from PCT but man those paint jobs on those voodoos and falcons are just phenomenal, but definitely not worth 1000+ in comparisons.

....None of this small reviews i want the full blown, too long, too wordy review hehe.

Hauppage WinTV PVR USB 2.0 works nicely for me.

does it work with windows xp media centre edition?

I don't think so. Actually SAGERs don't work with MCE and a whole lot of others (Desktop as well as laptops).

Like 2 ships passing in the night, the UPS 747 carrying my 3790 to me will likely brush past the DC-10 hauling my left testis to Luke somewhere over Missouri this weekend.
Sigh. The romance of it all.

HOLY CRAP, I CAN HARDLY WAIT!

I will now be checking my E-mail every 5 minutes for my tracking number

I'm waiting for the 6 hour 12 cell battery review.....

assuming u have the 3760 - what kind of batt life r u getting right now ??

Are we there yet ?

Hey, G:

Only about 1500 more posts to go, then my prediction will come true.
BTW, I agree with whomever posted (on a different thread, mind you) that you should become a moderator for the Sager boards.

My 2 cents.
