    I wasn't sure where to exactly to make this post nor could I find a post discussing this previously, so I will apologize if one already exists. I am looking to purchase a Sager 7280 laptop and was looking for some suggestions of who I should go through. Personal experience such as good/bad customer service, quality and price would be some key factors. I did a google and did configurations at the following sites: Malibal, XoticPC, CyberPowerPC, PowerNotebooks, and pcTorque. I'm in Alaska and will probably be placing my order within the week. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    XoticPC is the way to go, there have one the world best services and that is in the online chat and email and even on phone and there is isn't much holding at all, so my advice to go with xoticPc.
    btw i tried to ask my friends before i went to XoticPc and thier choice was xoticpc but i also heard that prostars and powernotebook is good as well but dont have any experince with them, sorry about that :) and good luck with your device

    why don't you try LPC-Digital? i just got my Sager from them, they'll probably give you the best price on market . Also the company's support is very good

    If you live in the states, and you do since you said you are in alaska (im from europe romania, and guess what, ive been to alaska), there is also ava-direct, and origin pcs. But i dont think origin sells your model.
    Ava direct on the other hand for sure does, and they have extensive list of components, wich is always a plus.

    Seems like the ebay seller you talk about is Eurocom. Just wanted to point that out.
