svt13 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I need help deciding what color to go with for my falcon laptop I plan on ordering in a few weeks. Here is what I am trying to decide between: http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/tlxv5-hematite-hi.jpg http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/TLXv5_Aston_VertigoBlue_lid_hi.jpg http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/TL2_blackmetallic_hi_1.jpg and http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/TL2_electricblue_hi_1.jpg but for this one I would want the bottom to be a black metalic or something like that to give it some contrast like the other blue picture. So tell me what you all think and help me decide please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt13 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The first Blue on your list.....Awesome..... Thats the matte aston martin blue. I'm leaning towards that one the most. The only thing is I don't know what color I would do for the other half. Maybe a matte black or something like that. Or I could do the whole thing in that blue but I think that may be a bit much.

svt13 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Black is too common.....time to mix it up..... This is true. The shelby is already black. How about ferrari red? http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/tlxv5_ferrarired_hi.jpg Or candy red? http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/tlx4_candy_red-closed-hi.jpg If I were to get either the red or blue what color should I have the bottom part be? I think all blue or red would be too much and I don't want the bottom to just be plain black plastic. There is also their signature rain effect that can be done with any color. Here it is in black. http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/tlxv6-blackrain-hi.jpg And again in teal the most common color http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/tlxv6-tealrain-hi.jpg Here is green http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/tlxv5_greenrain_hi.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the cobra blue, just need to add 2 white racing stripes to it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt13 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Will the madness never end? lol. So after some google searching I found out that falcon just rips off the sager/clevo laptops and rebrands them with the falcon name and charges accordingly. I went to xoticpc.com and decked out the new sager np9150 to the same specifications as the falcon but with slightly more upgrades like cooling, picture quality, and screen quality and the total came to 3300 for the sager and the falcon is 3750. So now I am wondering is that cool paint job worth the extra 450? Also it looks like the falcon may be an older sager model that is not for sale anymore I believe on google someone said it was the 8000 series.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_TZU5k2iNY&feature=player_embedded This is a video of the new one that I am looking at. Since I can't go crazy exotic with it like the falcon I was thinking I'd just get it in a gloss black and keep it simple. What do you all think about this now?

svt13 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Ok falcon is out now. Not worth the extra 1000 dollars of paint and the older platform. So I optioned out the best 15 inch mac and it came out to 3300 the same as sager. Only differences it seems is the sager will have a 670 nvidia car instead of 650 like the mac and will have THX sound and blue ray player. I can't compare screen quality since I have never seen this gamut screen on the sager that everyone says is unbelievable but then again I've never seen a screen quality better than a mac. The mac also claims at this level to still get over 6+ hours of battery life while the sager is at 2-3, which I don't understand how that is possible given how every performance/gaming laptop max maybe gets 4 hours. Maybe mac has developed some new thing? So it is kind of a toss up now on what to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well, you get what you pay for! I've had several Falcon's over the years - expensive, yes, but they have the finest LIVE support in the world! (Not to mention, they are blazingly fast and stable computers!) That being said, if price is the problem, why not go to NewEgg or some other company and build it yourself? Not into that? How about Alienware or one of the other custom builders?

Sam Who lets you build a laptop from scratch like a desktop? I would do that if that was an option. And I found out the falcon NW laptop is the old generation clevo so I'm not getting it anymore. I'm trying to decide between the MSI gt60 and the sager np9150/ mythologic pollux laptop which is the new clevo. No point paying 3750 for an older generation laptop with less performance just because it says falcon on it and I can paint it to make it look nice. I'm trying to decide if I want to pay 3100 for the better equiped MSI or pay 2700 and forgo the 680m graphics card for a 675m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, no one will let you build a laptop from scratch. I would go so far as to say every computer builder uses motherboards, chasis, screens, etc. from just a few manufacturers and then builds them to their own specs, or selects a specific brand and then re-brands it as their own. (happens with cars all the time, look at Honda and Isuzu) Falcon NW is no different, however, they will build you a blazingly fast computer, to your specs, and then back it up 100% for 3 years, (or even more), and that's what you are paying for. I'm sure there are others out there, just in my experience, Falcon has been the best - expensive, but the best! Now the Alienware, Dell, etc. fans can come on and flame me!
