I was doing some research on getting a new laptop and stumbled across this brand. I asked around geek circles (trade chat in Ogrimmar on WoW) and got a pretty good response from those that knew of them.I dont think consumer reports has gotten hold of any of Sagers laptops but i dont know if thats just because of their customization.a major plus for the is they offer LIFETIME Technical Support on all their laptops.
Hi as a owner of both I highly rate the Alienware make although i don't have the 'm17' model the are an outstanding quality make and have great client support, fast processors and they hold there value amazingly. Also put it this way - 'You get what you pay for.' So pay for the Alienware and get an amazing machine.
There's a difference between just tech support, and an actual warranty. HP offers lifetime tech support, but not a lifetime warranty (that'd be stupid, really). Considering their cost (the $600 laptop is pretty expensive for its specs) they better have a good build quality. I don't understand how they only have Vista Home Basic on their basic laptops, considering that Home Premium costs almost the same for an OEM license If they aren't built well, they would certainly not be able to sell, considering their costs. I've never heard of them being used in large numbers (I think I've seen a total of 2 my whole life) but if they aren't decent, the company wouldn't be able to survive with their prices. Their $600 laptop should be about $400 or $450 max. I know that considering they are way cheaper than Alienware and seem to be focused in the high-end laptop area, I'd certainly choose a Sager laptop over an Alienware any day, even if I've never heard anyone personally say they are good.
Sager is a good high-end laptop brand. They focus more on gaming and performance laptops and are comparable to Alienware.
