I'm in the process of setting up a Sager NP9700-E right now --
check http://www.sagernotebook.com for listings & details. Short form -
13.3" TFT XGA display, with a 4 MB S3/Virge MX video set, 64 MB, 4 GB
drive, floppy, CD-ROM (24X) and smart Li-ion battery. 366 MHz AMD K6-2 cpu.
I had to go to the 2.2 kernel to get the mouse/touchpad to work - but at
2.2 it all runs out of the box. Yamaha sound included. I'm still playing
with the APM options, but the stock config only cost $1600 with shipping.
The display does 1024 by 768 by 24bpp with about a 130 degree cone of
visibility.
Comes with Win98 installed, and a shrink-wrapped Win98 install floppy and
CD. I used fips2 to re-partition; ended up with a 400 MB Win98 partition
and 3.5 GB for linux.
The motherboard is by Kapok (I think that's right) and is used in two other
vendor's systems. The Sager site has detailed info on all the key chipsets
on the system.
I'm looking for a modem card right now, and not having any luck. (I want
56k X2 and V.90, and USR seems to only be making winmodems; 56Kflex never
took off in this area, so I have no interest in it).
