Long term review (months since purchase: 14)
Computer: Sager 5620 from www.powernotebooks.com
Specs:
p4 2.0
512 DDR (think its 2100)
Radeon 7500m
40gb HD (4200rpm)
15" SVGA screen
dvd rom/cdrw (8x)
onboard ethernet/firewire/etc
Pro's: Great Laptop
After a year still packs a punch, most laptops aren't clocked faster
even today. Runs games well, 512k ram allows for a lot of applications.
A year later it has pretty much the same setup as new computers..
Con's: Few dead pixels (maybe like 4), Needs a good cleaning (I recently
sprayed air into the heatsinks/fans/ w/e, it really needs a full spray
out, but i dont wanna pop the case and void the warrentee, After the
blow it runs cooler and more quiet). A little loud, originally it was
real quiet unless running something big, but with dust buildup it runs
full fan too much..
Btw.. Its heavy, 11pounds or so, its battery life sucks too (90min on
minimal usage, 25 if i was watching a dvd)
Paid: $1950 after extended warrentee
Conclusion: Ultimate gaming laptop series, lots of power, but keep it plugged in
