Need a new laptop... Again

[RobertPters77]

I may be leaning towards something. But my mind hasn't been made up.

@zeno
Yes I do/did. The only bsod's i've had were due to spyware doctor. No grey screens or driver issues for me.

What does anyone think about this one?

It's not exactly what I want but it's close enough. Any opinions on sager? Build Quality, Tech Support, and Reliability wise.

I've had limited experience with Sager, but I did play with them briefly many years ago and I regarded their build quality as poor. Sorry I don't know if they have improved in recent years or not. Good luck!

How poor? Cheap plastic poor? Flimsy pieces of metal poor?

while i have never owned a sager from what i here their build quality is good these days

 

[RobertPters77]

Is sager metal or plastic? I don't mind either way, I'd prefer metal to rub it in my gf's uncle's face.

I vaguely remember heavy laptops with cheap painted plastic that ran hot, and CD drivers that mysteriously wouldn't install on their own laptops... maybe all that's changed now though, I wouldn't know.

Does anyone else have any experiences with sager? I'm really close to making a decision.

I bought my wife's Asus G73JW from them and I'm about to buy an Asus G73SW-3DE from them as well.

I have checked out Sager and generally think they have good hardware for the money but are a bit box-y in style and no backlit keyboard on most models. And no 120Hz screen option, no option for OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. So not for me, but still good computers.

I like the Asus G73SW models. Alienware is a good comp but too pricey for what you get, Sager's much cheaper for the same hardware -- just no pretty lights.

fixed.

Sager's are the best bang for buck in performance and xoticpc is a really great dealer you get to customize your order as much as possible even if you don't get a sager.
