    ok so if i get a Sager i heard it runs cool and quiet
    if this is true then what kind of specs would be best
    like should i get a 7200 rpm hdd or 5400 rpm, and what type of cpu ?
    and video card ? and what about upgrades i have been thinking about
    getting the Sager NP5791 but i have thought about the Sager NP9260

    which ever one i get does it matter what specs would be best
    and what ever specs i get will it be good on Heat ?

    thanks for all the Help :)

    yes , consume more power aswell. and considering its worth about 800 dollars and you only recieve a small boost in power and the ability to overclock which i think is silly on a laptop, it is not worth it, the t7300(2ghz) is cheap and will perform well.

    np2090 is quiet, and cool only when you're not gaming. GPU can get pretty hot on heavy gaming (left palm rest).

    I have heard that its cool and quiet at all times, but then again i dont have the PC, and i could be mistaken. But, anyway-sager is a good brand to buy from.

    Believe me...mine gets quite hot playing MOHA at high settings....But it is a minor issue for being able to play such games smoothly.
    It's a great laptop for the price, will be becoming better with new drivers and better tools fro Vista and Santa Rosa.
