    Really [removed by mod]? You literally emailed me yesterday stating something different. You told me that the components of the system are different and that [removed by mod] is not built by sager. I was a bit appalled when I read that in our email conversation started reading into it a bit. I am in the same position as the OP I am trying to find the best place to purchase this laptop ....

    No worries. I just had to edit your post because of a rule violation by an (unnamed) retailer. Not your fault at all.

    Hi, it doesn't look like the OP's question has been answered and I find myself in the same situation. Cyberpowerpc has by far the best price on the w230ss at the moment due to a current sale (free upgrade to 7200 1tb HD, free upgrade to 4810MQ, free upgrade to gskill 1600 RAM, and other various discounts as compared with other resellers).

    I don't know much about the company, their reliability, customer service, etc. I've read mixed reviews online, with particularly negative comments regarding the quality of some of their custom-built desktops, but I figure this laptop isn't really built by them anyway.

    If anybody can provide insight into whether this might be a worthwhile purchase, I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
