Sager NP9280 world’s most powerful laptop
June 10th, 2009
Even Sager actually avoid calling the NP9280 a notebook or laptop preferring the ‘desktop replacement’ moniker. And they reckon it’s the world’s most powerful ‘desktop replacement’, whilst we aren’t too certain about that, it’s specifications still make your eyes pop out and your wallet tremble with fear - squeezing i7s into a laptop isn’t going to be a cheap process. Anyway for the brave here are the specs on this desktop, err, laptop
* Intel® Core™ i7-920 Processor (2.66GHz) 8MB L3 Cache
* 17 inch WUXGA LCD (1920 x 1200)
* Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M Graphics with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory
* MS Windows® VISTA Home Premium 32/64-Bit Edition
* 3GB Triple Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 3 X 1GB
* 250GB 5400rpm SATA 300 Hard Drive
* 8X DVD±R/RW/4X +DL Super-Multi Drive & Software
* Intel Wi-Fi Link 5300AGN - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN Module
* Internal Bluetooth V2.0 + EDR Module
* Smart Li-ION Battery Pack (12 Cells)
That little lot will set you back a cool US$2350 so we’ll give you a moment to recover … not cheap but what did you expect for i7-920 processing power. The Sager NP9280 certainly packs a powerful punch and just for fun we maxxed out the unit too. Ending up with a total of $5474 which gave us Intel® Core™ i7-975, Vista Ultimate, 12 GB memory, 160 GB SSD and a Blu-Ray reader. Strangely no space shuttle tiles were included to protect your legs from the heat the Sager NP9280 will pump out. And just to make sure all that heat does easily escape, there are no less than four cooling vents on the underside of the unit. We like the NP9280, we’re just not convinced anyone will actually buy it, so if you have let us know what you think when you’ve let your legs cool down.

This world’s most powerful Laptop with the core i7 975 extreme is…WOW!! Ordered mine at..

The top-of-the-line 17″ Unibody MacBook Pro as of July 2009 has a 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 8 GB 1066MHz of DDR3 SDRAM, both nVidia GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT with 512MB GDDR3 memory, a 256 GB SSD, a built in webcam, and an 8x slot-loading SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), for a whopping $4,500+. Oh, and did I mention the entire thing is less than an inch thin when the screen is closed? It may not be the BEST laptop in the entire world, but damn is it POWERFUL (and thin)!
Oh, and I forgot to mention that it has an 8-hour battery life, and the battery has a life-expectancy of 5 years (1000 charges). I still think that SAGER is kickass, though.
I think this is the most powerful laptop I have seen yet. I think it will blow the doors of the M17x and I might add that i will be placing my order for one of these beasts very soon.
Cant wait.
