Official Sager NP8170/Clevo P170HM Owners Lounge

Any idea when or if the 6970 be available for sager? As you guys know you can get it for the 17x3r but will sager just stick with nvidia or do you think that for sure they will offer it eventually? Has a new gpu come out in the past with a new sager model relatively new? Will they wait until the customers that have ordered get their laptops?

Sager has confirmed that they are testing 6970 gpu's, so they plan on offering them eventually.

Im looking at buying the NP8170 and i was wondering how it handles running Windows Server 2008R2. Anyone out there can give me any info on the subject?
This would be either a dual boot or a 2008R2 Workstation conversion.

My suggestion would be to use Intel wireless, but everything should work fine on it. Just remember that power management is going to be worse using a server OS mostly because they are not really tuned for "power sipping" but everything should work fine. We can do them like that (server OS), we've done a few previous gen 15.6's as server class machines for people doing things like workstations and mobile demo servers before (They also make awesome LAN party services servers, just plop down plug in, enjoy) :P So PM us for more info if you want.

No, I have no budget as all this is being paid for by my grandfather who doesn't want my crazy aunt to get any of his money, and he rolls in 75k a month apiece from 4 differentr gas wells on his propert, and the most expensive thing he does is splurge on new fridges once every couple of years. Other than that he is content in his chair watching Fox and CNN.

and...

Take into consideration I really actually need that BRB BADLY. You wouldn't believe how much use the BRD on my Vaio gets, as well as how much use my PS3 gets between Hulu Plus, Netflix and BR discs.

People so clueless shouldn't be allowed to have that much money, what a waste...he will never need/use that much power. Freakin rich people.

Also, lol@ him buying an external usb bluetooth adapter when bluetooth is built in.

The Killer NIC and Intel 6300 do not have Bluetooth built in. They use all three antennas so an external (USB) BT device is required if you need BT.

Plus, not sure why he got an external blu-ray when he could have just got one internal. It will burn DVDRW's too.

Eh...I think he got the BT adapter because he got the BF Killer wifi, which doesn't have that.

Edit: Htwingnut beat me to it

I hope he's just trolling and people like him dont actually exist.

I agree but he could at least act like he knows what the hell he's buying and why he needs it if he doesn't wanna look like such a jackass.

I still think it's a troll topic though.
