No I don't think there's a chance for you to fit a 17" notebook into 15" bag.
There's nothing you can do about the noise actually, if you're referring to noise emitted by your notebook's fan and not some strange noise. The only cooling solution available to notebook so far is by air, thus as the fan spin up to cool the high performance part, the noise level with eventually goes up. |

Hi guys... I just found out this great thread.. and do let me revive and bump up this thread!
I just ordered a Sager NP5793 from Singapore and now anxiously waiting for my lappie to be delivered.. The specs are as below:- Display:17" WUXGA LCD with Matte Finish Surface (1920x1200) Processor:45nm Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 / 6MB L2 Cache 2.50GHz 800MHz FSB Video & Graphics Card:Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS Graphics with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory Operating System:Genuine MS Windows® VISTA Home Premium 32/64-Bit Edition Memory:4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2 X 2048MB Primary Hard Disk Drive:320GB 7200rpm SATA 300 Hard Drive Optical Drive:2X Blu-ray Reader/8X DVD R/2.4X DL Super-Multi Drive Wireless Network Card:Intel Wi-Fi Link 5300AGN - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN Module (add 68) Intel Robson Technology:Intel 2GB TurboMemory Module Primary Battery:Smart Li-ION Battery Pack (8 Cells) Integrated Security Device:Fingerprint Reader PLUS: Free gift of a Free Edifier M1335 Multimedia System worth SGD59 And the price I pay is SGD3,000 (overpriced or value buy?) No additional charges and inclusive of GST and free delivery. Plus: Since I order from Singapore, the warranty is being covered both in Singapore and Sager USA. So, if anything spoilt, I can just sent it back to Singapore office by hand and no need to sent back to USA which can save me substantial shipping cost. Bad thing is still have to wait for another 5-7 working days for my lappy to get into my hands... and I cant obtain another 3% discount bcos I din pay in cheque or cash.

Would like to enquire more about the shipping method. Is shipping free from xoticpc to USA?
If it is, is it possible to use vPOST to do my shipping then? Theoretically I could save the USD250+ shipping charges and only pay about at most SGD50 for the shipping charges to my Malaysian address. |

I don't think so as currently only two type of shipping provided by xoticpc for international purchases as such UPS and USPS. Where as USPS are much cheaper compared to UPS and the price is standard for USPS at US223 for all kind and sizes of laptop available at xoticpc. But nevertheless u can try and email them(xoticpc) at service@xoticpc.com to enquire regarding your interest of using other shipping service.If it is, is it possible to use vPOST to do my shipping then?

Hi, I heard many saying that Sager notebooks cooling system is super LOUD especially for model NP8660, NP5793 and NP5797.
Can any users here share their experience and review here? Thanks. |

Yes its loud in my opinion but I wouldn't mind because of all the performance that its giving me and considering I'm using headphone most of the time. I guess it is a thing that you need to live with when you're using a high performance components that generate considerable amount of heat.

Hey guys, been a while since I've posted here.
 From my experience, the NP8660 runs much quieter (and cooler!) than any laptop I've previously owned. My graphics card rarely ever hits 60 Celsius under full load, hovering around 37 Celsius when idle. My processor never goes above 50 Celsius even under full load. The only issue (for lack of a better word) I have is my 7200 rpm hard drive, which can get reasonably loud. However to answer your question, when surfing or doing simple office tasks, I have never had an issue with noise. This post has been edited by Ashikune: Mar 10 2009, 07:13 PM |

Hi guys, I need ur opinion here.
I am interested in the NP5793 model here with Blue Ray drive somemore and its price tag but I kinda scare of 2 kind of things here. 1) Screen is matte display only instead of glossy despite having a 1900x1200 reso 2) Many review complaint that this is a loud laptop. At least louder than NP8660. |

QUOTE(BiBima @ Mar 10 2009, 03:34 PM) Oh I seee, if gaming then I understand. the NP8660 has a dedicated hardware button that puts it into "silent mode". basically turns off the fan without affecting performance But let's say..if I quit the game and try to surf net and do some simple word processing, will it generate loud cooling noise also? i use this mode when sleeping. laptop gets abit warm when i wake up. but been doing this for 5months now, no probs yet  if you decide to leave the fan on, I would say it makes as much noise as a dell QUOTE(dveHetal3 @ Mar 10 2009, 10:40 PM) Hi guys, I need ur opinion here. Matte displays looks dull-er, but are viewable in most conditions. (even outside I am interested in the NP5793 model here with Blue Ray drive somemore and its price tag but I kinda scare of 2 kind of things here. 1) Screen is matte display only instead of glossy despite having a 1900x1200 reso 2) Many review complaint that this is a loud laptop. At least louder than NP8660. ) Macbooks use the glossy display, so you could use that and see which display suits you better. Or just get an external monitor if you're not happy with the one on the NP5793.  sound wise i'm not sure, but the np5793 does have 1 extra fan compared to the np8660 |

Yea basically its only during gaming period, sorry I didn't mention that.But let's say..if I quit the game and try to surf net and do some simple word processing, will it generate loud cooling noise also? During idle time or normal use its perfectly quite. Not sure about the NP5793 though. |

Great news by Justin from XoticPC. The GTX 260m will be up for grabs for NP8660 users individually by the start of April. No MOBO replacement needed or whatsoever, just stick it in. Though you do need to flash the laptop's mobo BIOS with the newest one, which link is right below, many thanks to Gophn and theriko ( theriko posted it earlier) http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.p...74&postcount=18 Word of caution, please make sure you flash the EC firmware to its newest version. Flashing your mobo's BIOS may lead to bricking your system if done haphazardly. Get a bootable flash drive to do it. I'm not liable if you brick your system. Damn... Love how it's the MXM form factor, that's what I call modularity, guess XoticPC will be getting my money soon. P/S the NP5797 has the option of upgrading to GTX 280m, I think.

USD 200 would be the flat rate, if you place an order from Xoticpc.com.

Recommended shipping method as you'll receive it within the week.Also, upon request, xoticpc now offers discounts if you decide to shorten your warranty period they havent replied with exact figures yet, but you could always try asking before buying. Annnddd ... my little rebate is back too. but its down to a measly 1%.*haih, need to work my way back up* It is much simpler now though, xoticpc will instantly credit the amount from your total |
