Mayaman2: I applaud thee for not including the condemning "countdown thread" phrase into this one. Sigh. I miss the old Sager's answer to the Compal thread.

This is pretty funny, I remember asking why Sager doesn't have an ultraportable a while ago and look what happened! This looks like a pretty sweet little lappy, I bet it gets 5+ hours on battery

I think this is compareable to the alienware sentia 12.1. Just much cheaper.

Wtf. 9.5 lbs with battery. I think that must be a typo. It said 5.2 lbs in the specs which makes sense. -edit. Sweet they corrected it.

That's what the pcmcia port is for. It so easy to get a firewire card adapter for a laptop.

lol clevo makes everything big. I am pretty sure that's a typo. It said 5.2 lbs in the specs. I think the dimensions for the 4750 were off as well.

Using a pcmcia firewire is much slower than a a firewire port.

I would think a firewire is more for intensive audio/visual work. This computer isn't built for that. Its an ultraportable so there are some sacrafices made. Sager is offering some sort of $100 off offer I think for preordering it. I wonder if pctorque will carry it?

Sweet. So If i ever need a light laptop for classes (notes and playing roms) and minor photoshop work, this looks like a winner.

omg that kinda look nice... wonder how it's gonna perform for numerical calculation wise (it's got embedded graphic chipset so gaming is out definitely) =/
but nice laptop looks like nonetheless.

so how much ligher is this one comparing to 3790 with 12 cell battery? anyone know?

M361C. You may be able to play counter-strike zero on it. Probably day of defeat as well.

Could probably handle pure text adventures like, say, Zork I and Zork II. Zork III? I dunno. King's Quest would definitely lock it up, though.
