Sager Laptops (was Re: [ale] OT: 64 MB DDR 4XAGP ATI 9000 Video Card)

[John Wells]

Woah...the Sager NP8886 looks like a hell of a deal.  Anyone have any
experience with these out there?  They also include the Northwood
processor rather than mobile.  Cavaets, anyone?  Only thing I don't like
is only 1280x1024.  Oh well.

Thanks guys.

John
