Selling my Laptank!
« on: October 13, 2004, 10:31:30 AM »

Sager 5670 Notebook:
I bought this computer a bit over a year ago, and now that I am more settled in at college, I do not need this kind of power in a portable machine.  The computer is still in great condition with the exception of some minor wear on the wrist plate from using the built in keyboard and having my wrists resting on the plate.

This has been a wonderful laptop, I just no longer need a portable computer.  It plays games reasonably well by today's standards, and I must have logged 100s of hours playing Call of Duty and UT2004 on this thing.  It performs very well with the most recent Radeon Omega Drivers.  Other than the numerous LAN parties it has been to, this has not left my desk in the last year, and if could afford not to sell it, I would most certainly keep it.

Sager also has some of the best tech support I have seen.  The owner of the company I bought it from (pctorque.com) posts on the Sager Forums (http://notebookforums.com/).  I had a few problems early on when getting set up, and they were a great help.

Sager 5670 Notebook: 5670
Display: SXGA 1600 X 1200 15" LCD

Network Card: 10/100 NIC (a little flaky at times, so 3com PCMCIA NIC included)
Keyboard Layout: USA
Floppy Drive: 3.5" Floppy Drive
Battery: Primary Li-ION battery pack
Dual Battery Setup: Li-ION battery for Bay 2 (battery still lasts about 2 hours)
Wireless Network: 54MBPS 802.11G Wireless PCMCIA
OS: Windows XP Pro w/SP1 included

Make me an offer.  Make sure it has at least 4 significant digits before the decimal point. ;)

That sounds like a really smokin' laptop, dude.

Alas, I can't justify buying another one when my current one is still pretty far from obsolete.  Hope you find a buyer though.  It sounds like a good machine.

If I had any money I'd make an offer. That's a very nice lappy.

Sagers are awesome. I have a 4780, and I love it.  :D  Except when my CD drive doesn't read anything. I'm too lazy to contact tech support or try to figure out how to plop another one in there...that thing is in a really hard-to-reach location in terms of the internal layout.

Please do not revive dead threads for no good reason. This was 9 months old.

It's not rules, it's proper netiquette.

Netiquette I've apparently never heard of...   :oops:  Well, I've always been on forums with idiots, so I suppose that may be why.  :roll:
