    They are both the same laptop except Malibal has electrofoam nameplate instead of a Sager sticker so it look much cooler. And yes Sager on the cover according to many people is just a sticker. Malibal also sound much cooler as well, very exotic sounding name.

    I believe so and do money order or bank transfer (if you have the money straight up) because you get extra discount which is 3% off or something like that off your entire order.

    Reason it doesn't work with credit or debit card is that the bank charge them a 3% so if you pay by other method, they don't get charge and in turn they offer you that extra discount, which is very generous of them.

    I will sadly have to pay via credit card.
