AFAIK, Sager had the first P90 laptop.

Their prices are good, generally better than what the laptop people
are charging for cruddy old machines with 1/10th the capability on
the "for sale" groups on usenet.

Their screen resoloution isn't very good.  NEC (and a few others now)
have 800x600.  Sager actually promised me 1024x768 at one time; I'm
still waiting for anyone (besides Tadpole, who what $5000 for the
display along) to support a usable screen resoloution on a laptop.

Personally, resoloution is the reason I still don't own a laptop,
even though I *really* want one.
