I can't offer any particular review on the product itself, but from a completely specs vs cost related perspective, it looks great.

Those are virtually netbooks and are no where near the minimum requirements for current games. ...Or am I just looking in the wrong places on that site?

I don't know anything about CAD, but the HP Elitebook 8540w (link provided by evodrop) looks pretty good. Do check other features of the laptop however, such as battery life, positioning of ports, and misc. stuff isn't generally listed in simply "specs". Here is a link if you want to configure...

Well, another thought I had was to buy a gaming desktop (probably barebones, I already have a ATI Radeon 4850 HD for my old desktop) and buy a simple laptop to take to college. I was just trying to get some information if there were any good gaming laptops with switchable graphics. The The...

Hello Forum Members! A while back, I had expressed interest in buying a beast of Gaming Laptop, the SAGER 8690. My biggest gripe was the battery life, rated for less than 1 hour. I mentioned that I was going to buy it anyways, but I decided not to commit quite yet. I've done much more research...

I don't know anything in particular that you may do, but try google searching your laptop and model and the play pause button. That's all I can say, sorry. Hopefully that helps.

Looking at more and more at the battery life on different sites, I am really bummed. Even with the i5 and lowering the brightness fully and other power saver options, it seems 1 hr and 30 mins is the ultimate max. That's assuming I am starting out fully charged battery and a battery that hasn't...

It is practically impossible to get a good gaming laptop with more than 4 hours of battery life. There may be a few, but they will be significantly lower in specs. What sort of games are we talking about?

Before you buy, look up reviews on the keyboard and touchpad. I was thinking about purchasing the HP Pavilion dv6tse, the slightly smaller edition of yours, and I read reviews on how the keyboard and touchpad were the worst they've ever had to deal with. It's a great laptop, but see how those...

I've looked at Max Battery Life (not under a load, maybe just web-browsing and using MS Word), and I've seen 2-3 hours for my sort of build. This is coming from other people rather than just SAGER itself. Additionally, I believe an i5 doesn't use as much battery power, which helps. I really...

A Hard-drive with >= 7200 RPM or SSD is not necessary. A 5200 RPM works fine. Yes, it may take a few more seconds to initially load a game or constantly open and close files, but when the game (or any other program) gets started up, a faster hard drive makes no difference.

OP posting here. How does this one look to you guys? Sager NP8690 (Built on Clevo W860CU) Custom Gaming Laptop - 15.6” FHD 16:9 LED Backlit Wide screen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glare Type Screen - Standard Dead Pixel Policy - Intel® Core™ i5-520M, 2.4-2.93GHz, (3MB L3 cache) - -Stock OEM...
