I <heart> my Sager.
Beaker (Pharmacea) has a Sager. Seems like she has had a few technical problems, and their tech support is a bit slow ... but I think all the issues have been resolved.

We had a Sager and it was a great notebook. The only problem we had was what I thought was a faulty IDE controller but ended up being a bad drive. I sent it in and got it back in pretty quick order. I had purchased it through PC Torque. Sager use to be, not sure if they still are, the builder for many Dell and Alienware systems.Originally Posted by [AK]Abaddon

I guess the notebook would be more for vanity purposes, like gaming poolside and taking it with me to travel, etc.
I'm not usually to concerned with having the latest and greatest ALL of the time like someone I know, but if I'm going to spend 3,000 I think I might as well spend 4,000 and get the best there is.
I'll look at desktops, I use them now and it isn't so bad....
You could get a VERY fast desktop, AND buy a cheap laptop for poolside internet for that $4000.
Best money I ever spent was the < $600 on an used iBook from ebay. Included MS Office for OSX and a ton of iTunes music. I have used it every single day the last 2 years for couch surfing.
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.
You could really save some dollars if you can build yourself, but I know some people just don't want the hassle and it's understandable. I also understand the notebook desire, as it's damn nice to have a notebook that can do it all and take it wherever you want. I bought my wife a Dell Inspiron E1505 notebook a few months ago with an Intel Core Duo processor T2300 (2MB/1.66GHz/667MHz), 15.4 Inch TrueLife Wide-screen WXGA, 1GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm, and 256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400 HyperMemory loaded with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Built in wi-fi, remote, all that jazz. I paid about $1,500 after rebates and it's a damn fine machine.Originally Posted by [AK]Choozoo
You may want to look at the Dell XPS line in both laptops and notebooks. You can get some pretty solid machines for a decent amount. Again, all pending your desire or lack there of to build your own.
Good luck.
