    side.

    Guys, I came to buying a sager, really. But I got a dell instead for 2,030 dollars shipped (after I mail in the 50 dollar rebate) With three year complete protection and premiere video card.

    I wanted sager but hard to resist Dell's prices. Best of luck to you all!

    Tell us how it is.

    We have a few Dell users here that has posted less than happy reviews about their laptops.

    I even had a friend that bought a XPS M170 just a couple of months ago and returned it for a refund.

    Most of the issues I hear are the bleeding in the LCD Screen and some sub-par components.

    Hopefully you get lucky :D

    I co-reviewed the Dell XPS M1710 - it's based on the E1705 largely. I thought it was overall a solid machine.

    But best wishes with your machine, thanks for stopping by.
