The word on Sager

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi,

I'm looking for a high-performing notebook for graphics apps and games.
I've done extensive research, and, from a components point of view, Sager
seems to beat the rest with what they give while being cheaper than the rest
(only Dell has comparable customization + pricing, but no 17" screens yet).

So that being said, is there some catch? are Sagers generally reliable? how
abou their AMD 64 models???

Thanks,

CB

I don't think there is a "catch" as long as you understand what you
are buying. When I looked at Sager, all the high performance models
were Pentium IV based.... a laptop using a desktop computer processor.
That generally means some heat issues, or at least a heavy, noisy
laptop with large fan for cooling. That isn't to say that any of those
traits are "bad", just not what I was looking for. And that was some
time ago, before there were any AMD 64 models.
