Sager NP9880

Sager NP9880I have not heard of Sager before, but Laptop Magazine has an overview of the Sager NP9880, a big black block of a laptop designed more as a desktop replacement than something you’ll want to carry on your back.

Sager’s big black box isn’t the most imaginative of designs. Its black-and-silver exterior is rather undistinguished for a performance machine, especially one as big as this (15.5-inches wide and 12.5 pounds). Granted, adding sex appeal to a desktop replacement unit is a challenge, but Sager should try something a little more alluring.

With Intel’s highest-clocked processor, the 3.8-GHz Pentium 4, and Nvidia’s fastest mobile graphics solution, the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra, the Sager posted gargantuan benchmark scores of 22,215 in 3DMark2001 and 11,771 in 3DMark03, both good enough for second place. The display is simply gorgeous, with WUXGA resolution that can handle 1920 x 1200 pixels of 3D-shooting mayhem.

This 12.5 pound gargantuan machine will run at around $3,545 USD.
