Well this is mostly for gaming, sound doesn't need to be perfect, but where it's from needs to be. I mainly play First-Person-Shooters and I want to see if this can help. I know a lot of people use 5.1 Speakers, but I don't really see how I would set it up. This is why I am considering 5.1...

Hey everyone, My friend recommended me to get a 5.1 Headset. Are those really worth it? I don't mind forking out a bit more money for good headphones. I just want them to work; we've all gotten cheap 5.1, when 2.1 would have been better... Assuming we stay under 100$, could you guys enumerate...

Here's what I found (assuming you live in the United States). HP Pavilion dv6809wm AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.0G 15.4" WXGA 3GB DDR2 120GB DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 7150M Modem, LAN and WLAN 14.05" x 10.12" x 1.00-1.56" 6.06 lbs. Running Windows Vista Premium 32-bit. All of this for...

Thanks for the suggestion. The laptop is nice indeed. However, they do not offer it on HP Canada, I would have to search for the model I want. That is another great price and I wish we could customize every laptop like this. I've been messing on the Dell website for over 3 months, but finally...

Hey, Thanks for your replies. That's what I specified at the end of my post. I tried to order that laptop at $850, but I was stopped when they didn't ship to canada. I just changed the domain name extension from the address bar and found this one at $1037. That is also why I said at the...

I just posted something similar to this. I wanted to buy the Dell M1730. After a long time of reflection and a few arguments for users of this forum, I will buy both a cheap laptop and get a high-end desktop. To think I was going to spend $3000 to have to carry 15lb of hardware around school...

Hey everyone, Going off to college in a few weeks and will need a new laptop. Biggest problem is that I live in Canada, so it breaks my heart to see that I could save 25% (200$) for a 1h30m ride over the border. Anyway, spec-wise I'd like something light and portable, 14.1 being great, but I...

I just came back from Virginia Beach and they had one of these left. Personally I do think it's a good deal if you only cheap applications, forget about windows vista, IE 7 and Office 07. I considered getting it, but truthfully, there isn't much you can do with it. I would install XP on it...

I'm currently checking out the 8600 GT and I'm all screwed up, I starting to believe that the 512mb model doesn't exist; and on some threads, they specify the 8600GT 256mb being GDDR2... I could always sell my desktop and get the DELL XPS m1730. Although Sager offered better prices, I like the...

The problem is with these small laptops is that we can't pack the punch we think we may need :P For my part, I'd like a better graphics card. Here is what I'm looking for after a bit of researching... just have to wait for Dell to accept it as a build, or find something else: Intel® Core™ 2...

I'll go do more "store" shopping this week. I'll post if I find anything interesting. A problem I've found with stores is that they don't upgrade laptops. I personally would like to have the 8 or 9 series of Core 2 Duos...

Hey guys thanks for all the suggestions but I think I'd like to keep it to 15.4" and below. I checked all the size and weight of the notebooks and I can't even think about carrying something over 10lbs in my bag all day. Don't suggest things like 7" but from 12.1" to 15.4" is where I want to...

Thanks for your comment lostandwandering. Hell I feel like getting the NP9262 just for the specs... I'm still scared of those custom fees though =). If anyone has anything to suggest other than SAGER, please do so. Thanks for you support. **Oh and my uncle had a 3.06Ghz P4 in his toshiba and...

Maziar, I have another question about SAGER. Do they actually make laptops or these are custom built? I have used a custom builder for my desktop and have seriously regretted it. Lack of warraty and support, especially if you live anywhere outside of that country. Do you have a SAGER, what...

Thanks for the reply. I am currently looking at the NP2092, which seems to be the best solution for me. I would like to stay below the 15.4" models as I'll have to carry it around everywhere I go... Obviously the first one I clicked was the NP9262 which sent me off dreaming to owning a...
