Can I return my NP8662 if I buy NP8690? =P

Regretting this purchase now... hah (bought it ~May/June).

You could sell it to an interested buyer.... (Me maybe, if it's a good deal) :)

No to OP but BD has a good idea. You did spec out very nice. I think you could transfer warranty which would be good for any potential buyer. But you will take a hit on price. Both because a new one spec'd the same might cost less now and you must take a hit because it is used.

I say $200 to $300 less than he can get it now. I have that as from $1300 to $1400 as a fair price for both sides of that transaction. If you think that is low sorry but that is fair market based on several factors. It is not the high price you might be able to get if you marketed and wait for the right buyer/sucker. I mean no joke with enough work you could possibly sell for more than Xotic sells new. But lets be real to call that the fair market value is not correct.

I was accused of under valuing a notebook on another site but turns out he thinks it should lose $0 dollars and that is just silly. My price is a reasonable price to predict reasonable interest to sell in a reasonable time frame to someone who is not a fool. Yes you could get more I just would not want the hassle of playing that game. I mean unless you don't have anything better to do.

I'm thinking on buying a Sager NP8662, but I don't have any money rigth now. I'm thinking on buying it around December or January;however, I can't see any Windwos Vista option to get it, if some one knows if I can still get it tell me. If not possible then i can get windows xp 32 bit I hope.

I am also regretting my purchase I got mine in August!!!! I wish I could return mine and get the new hotness of the 8690 but no we can not. If I sold it to a buyer I wouldn't get nearly what I paid for it.

Don't despair man! You still have a very formidable machine!
Great CPU choise and the GPU isn't that bad :)
Sure, the benchmarks are 10-20% lower, but in gaming for instence, you'd hardly feel the difference (excuse me if you don't game).

I'm sure that if you bought the 8690 you'd get disappointed because in 3 months the new gen. of mobile i7 CPU will be out there. When buying high-end computing, the race never ends!!

You are right. Thanks for the comforting words. I guess I could always upgrade later...although I didn't receive my free thermal compound with my machine. :(
