I want to Replace my duallie desktop (Which is For Sale) with a desktop replacement laptop, right now the Sager NP8790 and NP4780 seem like the best choice. Anyone had any experience with powernotebooks.com sales and servoce?? Pentuim M for gaming??
Need one with a 17" Screen, DVD Burner +- if I can swing it. I play BF1942 and need an ATI 9700 or 9800 Vid Card at least. Wifi.
Other features nice to have:
Card Reader
TV Tuner / Capture Ability ( I occasionally capture Homevideo to burn to DVD)
7200RPM Drive (I could Ugrade to this Cheaper later.)
1GB RAM (I could Ugrade to this Cheaper later.)
What I have found so far.
Sagers:
NP8790-C The 3.4Ghz NP8790C with a DVD Burner Upgrade is a Pretty Nice setup pretty much has it all but the Gig of Ram at $2,480.00
NP4750-V Has it all but uses the Athlon 64 3400+ (non mobile) has it all with the TV Tuner Upgrade at $2,470.00
NP4790 FORCE 3.4Ghz Add the 7200RPM Drive,TV Tuner, and Wireless it's $2143.05 only a WXGA screen though.
Sony
VAIO A170 Series Nice that they offer Centrino's better battery life but how are they for gaming... They start at $ 1649.99 for CeleronM 1.4 256MB Ram, 40GB 5400RPM Drive. If I add a centrino 1.7 and the DVD Burner i am already at $2500 and I would still need to upgrade the RAM and the Drive.
VAIO A190 Nice and all but seems pricey at $2700 for a 1.7 Centrino
Others
Gateway M675 Series not very configurable, no TV Tuner that I see.. Lokks like it it's a sager $1899.99 to $2799.99 to get close to the sagers.
Voodoo m:780 mmmm..... kaayy..... A Sager NP8790 as configured above with a paintjob for $3,929.41..... nuff said..... and I hear the support is bad.
Alienware Area-51m Again similar specs to the NP8790 for $2,896.00 oh yeah and a paintjob and unique housing if you are into that sort of thing.
ibuypower Battalion 101 SC-Series Again a Sager with a Paintjob similarly configured to the NP8790 for $2,659.00.
Stuff that comes close
HP zd7000 series $2249.00 7200RPM Drive 3.Ghz P4 and with the media center option which I assume means TV Tuner, two big problems 128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) FX Go5700 Video and it's HP...

Am I missing any other one's??
