The Sager NP9280 is known as the world’s first Intel Core i7 laptop, which is the fastest processor on the planet.  The Sager NP9280 has an amazing 2.66 Ghz up to 3.33 Ghz speed that sets out to compete with the desktop. Nevertheless, Sager built this laptop just in time to have gamers and demanding users put to the test this version of the NP9280 enhanced with a triple channel DDR3 memory and an FSB of 1066MHz for overclocking. The Sager NP9280 incorporates a GPU Nvidia graphics card with Phys-x technology, and the GTX 280 M with a 1 GB DDR3 memory, achieving speed that’s much faster than its rivals.

 

The Sager NP9280 almost has the same features as its competitor, the Clevo D900F. The Clevo however is said to be a copycat of the NP9280 because it bears similar specifications but is more rugged in design. 

 

When it comes to design, the Sager NP9280 doesn’t impress. However, it is sturdy and has a dual tone high gloss exterior finish that is quite scratch-resistant and doesn’t pick up fingerprints as much.

 

It should also be mentioned that the Sager NP9280 has three bays for an SSD or solid state hard drives or SATA for RAID, 0, 1, & 5 support with capacities of no less than 1.5 Terabyte each. That’s excellent storage for a laptop this size. It also has both an HDMI & VGA output capable of stunning displays of up to 1080p for full High Definition viewing brilliant colors of 1920 x 1080 with an aspect ratio of 16:9 widescreen.

 

Imagine a sunflower blooming at its peak as it faces the sun making the image as real as possible as seen by the naked eye. Take advantage of its 3.0 megapixel built in camera where one can view with full clarity. Heat dissipation is lessened with its more than 3 cooling fans at the very bottom. There’s no need for a laptop cooler, so noise is kept to a minimum. The downside of this laptop is that it appears to be very bulky and heavy.

 

The Sager NP9280 weighs 11.5 lbs, including the battery pack, and has a dimension of 15.5″ (w) x 11.75″ (d) x 2.35″ (h). The price may not go well with buyers on a budget string since this laptop sells for about $2,269.
