    That is hardly a laptop lol... :) Then again, M1730 isn't light neither

    BTW, M1730's screen is very good in terms of contrast and brightness... Sager displays tends to be a bit dim.



    If you are choosing between M1530 and M1730, I take it having 9800m GT sli doesn't mean much to you. In that case, have you looked at XPS 16? it can be bought with RGB LED screen, as well as with newer hardware platform.

    Yeah! Everyone talks about update and performance no one cares about what and how are you going to use it for. I'd say sager is and have always been on top of their tech! But does everyone buys them? Dell's got a much bigger line up and also it isn't about gaming only. Stlye, price and looks also plays part of. I'm sure that you'll be happy with any XPS that dell offers!
