Top gaming laptop

I must have missed the notebook cooler part, that explains the larger temp delta.

I'll take your word for it that the northbridge cooler is modded, I can understand you wanting to hide your process.

I really want to match up my sager versus an executioner, but I didn't have the cash for a good processor at the time I bought it, so I sit atop a 2.1GHz T8100. K|N doesn't offer this option.

If you can, though, I would love to run benches on a killernotebooks executioner (crippled with a T8100) to see the performance advantages. Would you like to/can you, K|N?

Let's be nice, guys. You do have to admit, aside from the holes in the notebook, those mods are pretty damn good workmanship.

Is it possible to do the benchmark competition?

Sure, right now I have an Executioner MX for a couple days, but the lowest processor I have right now is a x9100 so it's not even close. I'm sorry but I only go down to the P9500 CPU (kind of specialize in the top end you know) Nexst week I want to start on the 860TU which is my Hamadashi. There are a lot of complaints about heat, and even the 9800 GT next week gets dropped to a 9800 GTS.

I don't have internet until Monday (moving) so do up whatever you want and post it over at Guru or here, just let me know the details of what you want to run and how.

BTW, I tried that exact same copper Northbridge cooler that was mentioned earlier. The Northbridge heatsink really needs to be custom made also to get to that level, the one mentioned isn't quite right.

Hi.

Thank you for your comments about Sager notebooks. Seems like they are top of the line laptops. Most probably, exactly what I need. The model I want, np9262, seems a fine computer. So sad that there are a few things I dislike about it:
-The overall look is... well, boring
-Weird position of the USB ports ( I connect a lot of stuff via usb, but also I'm right handed with the mouse)
-No e-sata
-No illuminated keyboard (what is actually damn useful when working on events, since it use to be so dark in the master)
-And an incredibly expensive Blu-ray unit (more expensive than the one Alienware offers) that goes completely out of budget.

Apart from that, seems a good option. Thank you very much for your commentaries.

About the selling point... well, never imagined it would trigger such an intense debate about it! Dunno if Sager could actually pair up the price that other sellers offer, but actually, xotic or other resellers give additional options Sager itself don't have.

I'm a bit more sure about Sager computers now... But more confused about where should I buy it!

For any reference, the computer I'm interested in is:
