Its better to wait this model because the screen on the 4880 is very crapy.

i have no idea of the releease date but it should be very soon.
And this model is more cute then the 4880 as you can see he won a important price in taiwan.
He look great thats why clevo was proud to exposed it at the cebit.

Wow. Buttons on the front of the case under the toutchpad and front audio, two of my favorite laptop design gripes. Why do laptop makers assume no one will actually use the toutchpads on their laptops and feel the need to surround them in obtrusive gizmos?

The screen should be better than the 4880 and that is why I will wait. I like the audio DJ thing on the front (another plus over the 4880) but I don't like the speaker location, it probably wont have very good sound because the speakers will have to be so small. It will be interesting to see how this performs against the 4880 as well.

No the sound will be great because he have 4 speakers and SRS wow.

Oh didn't notice that it had 4 speakers, i only saw two under the LCD. Well that's good news. Can't wait for this baby.

No Bluetooth ?

Why Not, The Only Reason I ever Looked At Sager's is the Built-In Bluetooth.
Does that mean It's not going to be offered at all of just that the first ones won't have it ?

This would have better battery than 4880 , What Do You Think ?

Best Regards
