Asus M6762NEWP(M6000N) WSXGA+, is it a winner?

u could try international shipping from the US , that way u get ur 1st choice

Well, the Asus with WSXGA is my first choice and I can't get it but I can get your first choice - the 3790 - what a pitty. All I can tell you is that Asus WSXGA is my dream lapptop so... hell yeah it is a winner.
Do you speak German by the way? Can you tell me if they ship to US, at all?

What kind of gaming/video work do you do? Unless you want to play the latest FPS or edit huge image/video files the 64MB card should be golden. My 3200 came with the 128MB version, but I don't need it for my EMU gaming. (FBA and VBA) I chose the 3200 for the LV 64bit processor and the SXGA+ screen. I didn't want a widescreen this time, not enough websites are optimized for widescreens and many display a tiny, centered column that's ugly and a pain to read. I probably will go widescreen on my next lappy though; widescreen will probably be more broadly adopted by then. I'll also definitely go Asus as long as they have 64bit procesors in their units, which I'm sure they will. I've had horrible customer service from Acer, but my past experience with Asus was perfect. They'd exchange a laptop for any reason without question and would never lie or miss a deadline. The build quality of Asus products is also great. I say as long as you aren't into heavy FPS gaming you can't go wrong with that lappy.

Look Asus is Asus. The M6N is a laptop of great built quality, classy looks, and above all impeccable design. This notebook is so well engineered that I don't think I have seen another one like it and I have been serching for a long time. The only other laptop I am considering is the Sager 3790. Sager is also a great laptop but the 3790 lacks a lot from engineering point of view compared to the Asus M6N. The only reason why I am considering the 3790 is its WSXGA screen which is NOT an option on the M6N sold in USA (go figure why). Sager is primarily popular for its gaming capabilities and the 3790 is no difference. Basically, its high-res screen and good GPU (128 9700) are the reason why it is so opular in these forums where people judge laptops based on their gaming capabilities. Apart from the screen and gpu (64 9700, and I am no gamer so this is enough for me) the Asus is better engineered in any other sence - it runs cooler and quiter than the Sager, the different VGA an Parallel ports are put at the back unlike the 3790 where you have these on the two sides. These are all thick-cabled connections and if you plug one of these in the Sager you will have a lot of trouble using your mouse and will have cables all over the place around you - check out this link if you do not already know what I mean:

On the Asus all this is on the back so no cables to worry about. All this could have been avoided on the Sager if they (Clevo) thought about these things more than just throw a good GPU in there and think that the job is done.
The batery life of the Asus beats that of the 3790 hands down. With the main battery the Asus will go over 4hrs of normal use and 3.5hrs of DVD playback. However, Asus has the option of swapping the optical drive with a second battery (or a second HD) and this will take battery life in the 7hrs PLUS range. All in all, Asus is more versatile and better engineered (I do not refer to better build quality for both 3790 and Asus M6N are great in that aspect) for the ports on the Sager are just placed in the worst possible places - on the sides.
For I am no gamer, the WSXGA screen is the only plus of the Sager 3790 over the Asus. Had I had the option for a WSXGA on the Asus I wouldn't even think for a second and just get it.

How many USB ports does the 3790 have? I only see one.
*Nevermind, I see the other two now. Still, three is right on the limit. I often use all four on my 3200 at once, but have never needed five luckily.

It has 3 USB. One on the right side, an two on the left. Bith USB modules are placed on the side of the user i.e. worst possible place for these things.

Oh, one other thing that Clevo missed and Asus didn't - the 3790 gets warm on the palm area near the keyboard and this is not during gaming but but more "normal use" When gaming the temp should go even higher. The Asus is cool to the touch when Playing DVD as for gaming I cannot tell for I haven't played a game in 15 years or so.
Again, Clevo didn't pay much attention to the "small" details and temp isolation isn't expensive at all.
A great notebook is not just 128mb 9700, after all.

I wish my USB ports were on the right side and my DVD drive on the left. I don't like the USB ports on the back personally, but it isn't that big of a deal either way to me. Other than that I really like the design of the 3200, but Acer's customer service ruined any chance of another Acer purchase from me. Hopefully BenQ and MSI will have some more advanced models next time I purchase. I'll be looking at them and Fujitsu if Asus falters before my next purchase. It's actually hard to find high end stuff here in Taiwan even though it's all made here; go figure.

Why BenQ? I know that MSI have some very good laptops and a new one has just come out (or is just around the corner) but I have never seen a laptop from BenQ or at least not one advertised to be made by BenQ - you know all the ODM business makes it hard to know who actually made your Sony or DeLL laptop
Does BenQ have any interesting (nice looks, light weight, good cpu and gpu) laptops as of now?

They aren't too bad. Nice screens, but a little low in the res department. Good GPU's and CPU's, but nothing that's top of its class ata given moment. If they ever make a "flagship" model it should be nice.

you can have dual HDD's with the ASUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! or Dual batteries, or DVDRW

if the M6BNe came with the WSXGA+ screen in the U.S...i'd prolly be rushing that thing on over to my house

in the UK it comes with a 128MB MR9700

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the optical drive can taken out and either a second battery (which is different, smaller, than the main one) or a second HD can be put into the empty bay.

WSXGA+ AND M11 128meg? darnit. i would be the happiest college-bound student if i had that kind of M6. oh well.

Are you sure it comes with M11 128 anywhere? Where are your sources?
