So, I'm looking for a new high-end gaming laptop and right now there are two competitors. (the Sager is custom, so I can change part choices if recommended)

1) Sager NP8268-S (Clevo P150SM-A)
2) GT60 Dominator Pro 3K-475

Sager specs:
-i7-4910MQ quad core (2.9 GHz turbo to 3.9 GHz
-GeForce GTX 980 8 GB of Vram
-16 gigs of ram
-1tb 7200rpm HDD and 500 GB SSD (2)
-price- $2800

GT60 specs:
-i7-4800MQ quad core (2.7GHz turbo to 3.7 GHz)
-GeForce GTX 880 8gb of vram
-16 gigs of ram
-128GB SSD + 1TB HDD (7200RPM)
- price- $2400

So, It's obvious that the sager is dominant performance wise, but what about quality wise?
I'm not to worried of price, but cheaper always nicer.
The Sager's amazing parts and the good price seems to good to be true. That is why I'm worried of quality.

Thanks for the help :)

It's a laptop. There's nothing you can really change on its user ability. You are stuck with the weight kb, mouse pad, size, feel, screen etc. The sager has definitely better specs as far as cpu/gpu goes, but what about usage? It may be a totally miserable thing to use vrs the GT. Battery life? If you can only get 1/2 hr of good gaming on the sager vrs 2 hrs on the GT? Screen size?

You need to physically put your mitts on one, or at least something almost identical. 1 will feel right, 1 won't. It's only if they are equal that specs will apply. You could have a serious gaming laptop that's absolutely miserable to use, or a really good gaming laptop that feels great.
