    I like the m5. Might just be something to get for web surfing on long trips. :D

    Plus if its sub 500 usd then its not that bad of a price (though still a bit more than some small netbooks)

    It appears to be based on the MSI-1651. Sager doesn't make its own laptops.

    Yeah, that's definitely the MS-1651 casing, although it uses DDR3 memory, which none of the current 15" MSI laptops have. I'm going to guess it might be using a newer mainboard like the upcoming GT-727.

    I wonder where the M10 comes from. What case does it use?

    I don't know what so special about the M15. Its specs certainly don't look impressive to me.
