The FASTEST Pentium M notebook!!

PM 735, 1Gb DDR333, 60Gb 7200rpm HD, ATI Radeon 9700 128Mb, 15.4" WUXGA screen, 12cell battery, Bluetooth, Intel 2200BG WIFI

This isn't "mine has more Ghz than yours" discussion. The Sager 3790 is the highest benchmarking Pentium M notebook. It even benches higher than some of the Athlon 64 DTR notebooks.
 
The Radeon 9700 GPU is probably helping you more than the Pentium M. What's the battery life like with the big 12-cell battery? That's 2x the size of a normal PM system's battery.
 
The 12 cell battery on the 3790 is nasty IMO, but for those that don't mind it, more power to them (no pun intended) 😛
It sucks that it sticks out the back& bottom, its like the laptop has an ass tumor.
As for the 3790 out benchmarking *some* A64 notebooks, it had better if its going to offer such crappy battery life on its standard 6 cell battery.
2.5 hrs (less if gaming) is not the right direction for battery life to be heading for pentium M based notebooks.
being forced to use a 12 cell extended battery to get approx 5 hr battery life is what turned me off this notebook. You may as well go for an A64 based notebook with that battery life...
Anyways, in the end it all doesn't matter, only what features are more important to each user, for me, I would gladly give up 300 pts in 3dmark for twice the battery life on a 6 cell.

Where in my post did I want to start that discussion? I was just looking for some proof. I know this is YOUR laptop, so obviously you aren't going to think lowly of it. But when you make a statement like "highest benchmarking pentium m notebook," one expects some proof. 🙂

Your biggest competition would come from Hypersonic and VoodooPC. Compare their laptops with your Sager, and you'll see what I mean.

Don't get me wrong, I think your laptop is great. It's definitely at the top, performance-wise.
But that doesn't mean it constitutes the title you've given it, with no evidence at all. 😉
