Alright so I think I'm going to go with the NP8660. It's a 15" and i configured it very nicely for about 2300...little more. Anyways, last question is, what is the average battery life with a Sager, suppose I'm just doing AIM and Microsoft Word.
I can't find what the battery size is anywhere on the Sager site, but assuming it's a 9 cell (what I would expect for those components), I would guess around 2:30.
I'd say it's a decent decision. I'd get it for that price. Also, my estimate is intentionally conservative - if you crank all of the settings down to the minimum, you could probably get more life than that.
oh okay. thanks very much guys. seeing as im getting this computer, any good computer games to reccommend? ill be getting starcraft 2 when it comes out i think. thanks again guys
If you want to test the GPU, get Crysis. I actually went out and bought it in June, started it and then never finished it. I wasn't too big a fan of the story line though. Call of Duty 4 would also be at the top of my list of games to get. I own it and love it, wasn't so big on it at first, but it has really grown on me.
i have call of duty 4 for xbox. i was taking a look at the dell vostro today, the new one. the 2510 i think. it looks pretty nice, its cheaper too. would the GPU hold up with gaming? i think its a 256mb geforce 8400GS (maybe 8600) not sure. would that be a good choice?
