Sager 9880 (NP9880) release - Page 10

Well this is all very interesting..I'd be interested to see what the cost for the upgrade is.. but unlike everyone else.. I think i'll wait on ATI...Desktops im Nvidia loyal..Moble ATI hehe.. For right now my ATI 800 runs everything and runs it well..so i dont see the point in upgrading it yet...especially if there is yet another change to come when ATI's card is released.

Luke, I am rusty as to whats going on.. every since i got the 9860 i swear i've been gaming on it non stop since end of January. for the EMT64's what do I need to do for this.. Its nothing im going to do now..just for future references.. Is it a bio's update I need or something more involved.

For the people on the earlier threads discussing price, anytime you take something big and make it smaller the price goes up not down.. Im sure its more expensive to make the moble versions of these cards then the big desktop cards everyone can use.. Plus they are not going to sell nearly as many of these as they would a desktop card..so that also plays into the cost.. Still its cheaper then buying a new notebook that can do the samething or better... For me i think i'll wait til i've had it a year and then see what kind of cards and modifications are out for it

Either way..its a great notebook old version or new.. you can't go wrong with it..

I am trying to decide between the Alienware mj12 and Sager 9880. Is there any other notebook that matches or betters these? I am doing CAD, rendering and sound design.

I appreciate it.

i believe the alienware is more expensive, and the 9880 is compared to the 51m 7700 not the mj12m (sentia??) well i don´t know.. but one hing is for sure you will end up paying $500 for alien eyes =p

Holy cow man, we need that review. My credit card is ready.

-Lox

are those the two to choose from in terms of power and speed?
in terms of the "alien eyes" yes i prefer the more simple casing.
any other suggestions? i had spoken to rhino and they said to stick to the 1400 instead of the 6800 for stability reasons.

damn, I hope all the email confusion didn't set me back

The review please! That's always been available at PCT. The new screen needs its quality verified.

That should be stickied or ammended to the description of the card, or something. Contrary to popular belief, MCE does NOT have all the features of XP Pro, it's more like somewhere between Pro and Home. Shouldn't have to buy a whole new OS for this card, and now we don't have to

I want that review! Please! Does the Ultra score even better comparing to the benchmarks with the 9860 and the Ultra? I can't wait to gte my hands on this baby, i'm selling my 9860 in the paper! oh btw any aussie are wondering, ITC will be getting the 9880 end of the month!

Have ya tried looking in the "Sager Reviews and Sager Benchmarks" section?


For the lazy

It's in the review section. Interestingly it appears to have the exact same numbers as the 9860 w/ Ultra, right down to the last digit.

Luke/Adam, great 9880 review by the way ! The only comment is that I felt that you should have re-measured and show the temperatures on the 9880, like you did with the original 9860 review.

Given the upping to 220watts power supply and the hotter ultra card and mobo upgrade, questions will be asked if this has impacted the temperatures especially on the left palm rest.

Perhaps you were short of time to release the review but it would be informational to all to release the measured 9880 temps.

Is it possible to get a Sager 9880 barebone? I dont really have the cash to buy one already built & could use many laptop parts i already have if i could get a barebone...

Has anypne gotten their figgin' 9880? I've only noticed one person.

I believe several folks have. I just RMA'd mine and ordered another.

Got my first one, will be RMA'd soon as my second arrives.
