The Sager NP9262 is amongst the most powerful of desktop replacement notebooks. It is built on the D901C chassis by Clevo. It sports a 17" widescreen LCD available in two versions, WSXGA+ 1680x1050 resolution in the matte finish or the WUXGA 1920x1200 resolution in the glossy "glare" type finish.If you are looking for the fastest laptop in the world, then read on ...
What makes the NP9262 so special? There are a few key aspects that separate this laptop from the rest:
- It does not use a mobile CPU. It uses full-fledged desktop processors, making it quad-core capable.
- It can support two video cards for use in an SLI configuration. This includes the newest mobile GPU, the NVidia GeForce 8800M GTX.
- It has three hard drive bays for amazing storage capacity on a laptop. You can also configure it in RAID 0, 1 or 5 using the on-board RAID controller.
- Two fully programmable macro keys on the left-hand side of the keyboard. Anyone who has used a Logitech G15 keyboard knows that a few macro keys can be extremely useful inside and outside of games.
Of course, it has all the bells and whistles that you would expect in a high-end laptop, including Bluetooth, built-in camera and microphone, etc. More on that later.
My system configuration:
- 17-inch WUXGA (1920x1200) Glossy Screen
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - 2.4 GHz 8MB L2 Cache - 1066 FSB Processor
- NVidia GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB - DirectX 10 - PCI-Express Video Card
- 4,096MB (4GB) DDR2 800 Dual Channel Memory
- 2x 200GB 7200rpm SATA-150 HDD - RAID 0 - Striping
- 1x 200GB 7200rpm SATA-150 HDD - Not part of RAID
- Combo 8x8x6x4x Dual Layer DVD/CD Writer
- Windows XP Professional 32-Bit
- Windows Vista Business 64-Bit
I opted for the Q6600 instead of the faster Q6700 due to the price difference, about $300. Aside from that, and possibly a Blu-Ray optical drive, these specs are just about maxed out.
You can also get the E6850 Dual Core, there are tons of arguments back and forth about quad core and dual core.
At the time of this review, the SLI version with the new 8800M GTX has not been released yet, scheduled to be released at the end of February, something I am looking forward to.
