    Hi, folks! The reason i decided to lunch this thread is 'cause the alienware guys has a similar one... and i'm pretty curious in what manner are u satisfied with your buyings, would u still be willing to stick with this particular brand in the furure? I've owned a Sager laptop a few years ago and consider of buying a new one probably next year. I was rather impressed by it's possibilities, cause i've always dreamt of a gaming "to go" :) The biuld quality was excellent and the variety of options u can install made me buy it without hesitation! i must admit that design-wise some Clevo laptops may not be as eye-candy as other brands but they beat opponents in almost every other way!

    DO YOU THINK, YOU'VE MADE A WISE DESCISION BUYING SAGER???

    cause i do :D

    It was a great decision, yes. I'm on my 3rd generation of Sager (having now switched to plain Clevo instead of Sager).

    I've taken care of the three laptops (keep them in a nice cool environment, don't throw them around, etc.) and have not yet had a problem except that the increase of technology forced me to upgrade machines over the years.

    Put me down as a very satisfied Clevo customer.

    I bought my Clevo for performance and not how pretty it is. I'm happy with my laptop, and it makes me happy too. :D

    That's nice to hear, guys! I'm in anticipation of how far will technology go next year so i can buy smth like x7200 or it's future analog! The thing is that in my country we don't have any Sager resellers but i start seeing people are getting more interested in quality gaming laptops in here! more and more resellers open's up in different countries, so may be i could somehow get it done in here! that's my dream, anyways... it's getting really popular, am i right?

    i was amased by how fast tech support works, once i fried up my GPU and got it sent with the help of my buddy to US and it was fixed/replaced in a few days! so in a month or so i had my lappy shiny and fast as new)

    Currently have a NP2096, very satisfied. Moving to a NP8170, it's on order.

    what do u guys think about reselling your laptops over time? is it appropriate to by sager for 3000$ e.g. and in two years sell it for some good price? like apple or AW laptops, they don't loose too much in value mainly because of the brand i suspect.. so what about Sager?

    If you buy a $3,000 laptop now, and in two years, it's probably going to be worth around $1,000 to $1,500 as a whole. You can always strip it and sell each part for more money. If you can't sell it, you can just keep it for your future children. :p

    I'm neutral on my satisfaction till I see what is done for my dead NP8130... asked Sager for a bios update which they sent me in bootable .iso format, it even had a disclaimer that popped up stating it was only for NP8130/NP8150 machines so clearly the right bios, it promptly bricked the laptop after a "successful" flash... nice.

    Hoping thats how it goes, I'd be totally content if they replace it or service it.
    This is my first Sager/Clevo experience and how this is handled will determine if I'm a repeat customer or a disgruntled one.

    Certainly glad I bought mine, although it is one of the bugged SB models so I have to return it later on when the recall starts. I do not regret it one bit. Have yet to see a single issue with it.
