I'm lookin for a gaming laptop that can sustain a high FPS on the highest settings on games. I'll also be using it for college. I was wondering if anyone could give me other laptop suggestions that would be as good, or if anyone could give input on which one of these is better. Thank you all!

Clevo is the OEM for Sager and many other boutique brands.....

XoticPC and ProStar generally offer identical pricing but Prostar's web site is much eaier to use.....I'd recommend picking ya model on ProStar site and then buying from xoticpc. The service and support has really tanked since the economy changed.

In the first few years I used, they were great but recent experience shave been terrible .... one laptop has been sent back 4 times with problem they cant seem to find.....screen has white vertical lines across whole thing and another they claimed water damage when the lappie had never been near any liquid.... not to mention I had it examined locally before sending back (given aforementioned experience) and no trace of water had been found Before sending it back.

The way I always thought it was was that Sager is what it's called in the United States, but Clevo is everywhere else.

Does anyone have any advice on which laptop to get or anything?
