    Is there any one here that has a decent sager that could please compare their 17 inch to the current M17XR3?

    I am having nothing but trouble with my system and I am thinking of my other options but I never have even seen a sager in real life and know nothing about the quality.. So any compairs or just tid bits of information would be helpful to me.

    Thx

    I have had 2 Sagers/Clevo. I had the x7200 it was nice but man was it huge, and bulky and plain. Also, this R3 I have scored higher in the 3dmarks score. the x7200 had a I7 960 cpu and the 485GTX. My Alienware has 2820 and 6970ati. Plus the Alienware looks awesome the sagers are very powerful laptops but look so plain. I like the Alienware because of the look and the power. And the battery power it is nice to use the laptop with the power cord for about 5hr it is nice. The Clevo/Sager battery terrible you might get 1hr of using it maybe.

    oh ya and the speakers on the sager are very disappointing. I love the speakers on the new Alienware R3 mine work great and are very loud and clear.

    well the support I dont know, I had to send my x7200 back after 9 days because it had a video card problem. I had to pay a restocking fee because they sent me a faulty laptop and eat the 200 dollar shipping and pay for shipping back to them. I was very pissed so their support sucked. The construction on the sager was well but I do like the Alienware construction better. I have had no problems with my Alienware I really like this laptop.
