@ Paladin44 ... does "Power Notebooks" ship outside USA?

A General Q to Sager or Power Notebooks or XoticPC ...

Q: How come "PC Torque" website indicates they are providing the 2096 with Intel 5300 vs 5100? Is that possible? Or they just haven't bother to update their data/info!?!?

Thanks,
G!

I just looked on the wireless network option, and it displays the 5100 a/g/n option. Although there are less antennas and such, I wasn't too concerned about it... until I saw the "a/g/n " part. At my college, it only supports "b". I'm wondering if this can be changed by a hardware upgrade (internal or a wireless router option) or a software upgrade (I highly doubt it but better to ask and know than not at all).

Hi TheSane ... read the following, especially 2nd URL ... but the short answer is "802.11g is backwards compatible with 802.11b" ... so you should be A-OK!

PNB does not ship internationally, just US.
Sager and Xotic ship internationally.
Forget about PC Torque, go with something safe which everyone knows.

Hi eleron,

Thanks for the heads up on who ships outside USA.

Yeah, I am with you XoticPC or Power Notebook for me all the way! Better Safe than Sorry!

Nobody has the 2096?
Was hoping to see some brief reviews by today T_t;

[someguyoverthere]

My main issue with the 2096 is that...its really really ugly. Also some people have been posting saying that it doesn't have HDMI output, but the XoticPC site (and PNB) clearly says it does. I'm a little confused.

i have another question: how about the GPU 9600MGT will it overheats like the previous 8series?
Anyone recieves sager2096? It will be appreciated if reviews were written with some photos Looking forward to it!

The 9600 should not overheat because it is not the same core as 8series, but it too new to be sure of anything.
