UPDATE
A final version has been accepted after testing. Clevo still isn't quite ready to start cranking them out yet and won't be this month with the Chinese New Year. Sager is working on packaging it with the Prescott processor which has passed testing in the unit, but it's dependant on when the Prescott becomes available in quantity. With this, the release is being pushed to Feb with high expectations to be met (though not sure if the initial systems will bundle with Prescott). There doesn't appear to be any major problems to be holding it back.

UPDATE

One final issue is being worked out on the 8790. Sager just needs to make sure that the final OEM version of the Prescott processor is compatible because there have been changes made between the test version and the final version. More information on these changes can be found here: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...212193648.html . Once this is confirmed, the 8790 should be ready. Sager is working very hard to make this happen.
