I think a lot of people on CP are getting tired of the Mac vs PC stuff. I apologize for any that I may have started. Let's just stay out of each other's territory huh?
I just put in my order for my Sager NP8130.
Sager NP8130 Base Configuration + $1250.00
15.6" Full HD LED-Backlit Display - Matte Surface (1920x1080) + 0.00
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M GPU with 1.5GB GDDR5 Video Memory + 0.00
2nd Gen Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM Processor (6MB L3 Cache, 2.20GHz) + $160.00
8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 2 X 4GB + 0.00
750GB 7200rpm SATA 300 Hard Drive + $55.00
No Operating System + $0.00
Total including GST and shipping and discounts: CAD $1,508.25
I bought it from
www.fortnax.com which is a guy in Calgary. I hope it's legit
In a few weeks when the Vertex 3 SSDs come out, I'll swap the 750GB HDD to storage in the ODD drive bay and it will be perfect.
That doesn't mean I don't recommend the ASUS G73 on sale @ MemEx. Technically, after GST and recycling fee, that computer is the same price ($1500) but you get a 17" screen, backlit keyboard, 1TB HDD, and Windows 7 so on paper, it's a better deal. I just wanted the Sager for the slimmer/small size in a 15" system and it has a matte screen which I need.
