12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
Looks like Asus and Sager make solid systems. I don't love the Asus gaming laptop designs, they look a bit juvenile - hence the reason I am considering Sager. Won't keep me from getting an ASUS though.

USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I have had a MBP for 3.5 years and it is time to replace. I need to learn Windows 7 and would like to be able to run the latest games. Would love some honest feedback on Sager and warranty, build quality etc. Also, is Sandy Bridge available through Sager?? I don't mind holding off for a month or two.

Thanks!
