    Just pre-ordered my Sager NP8851 default configuration with the $200.00 discount,

    this will be my first high-end gaming laptop, so I didn't make any configuration changes.

    cannot wait for it to be shipped.

    BGA hate is old now, now the trending hate mail topic is "slim laptops are flimsy, lga laptops have durable chassis"
    I come to this forum for a laugh sometimes, and feel better when I see dumb arguments. No offense though.

    Ball Grid Array, it describes how the chip is connected to the PCB using large numbers of little solder balls. This means it is fixed in place. Sockets (often LGA these days or Land Grid Array) don't use solder to connect to the chip but some form of removable contact like spring loaded pins onto pads (LGA) or pins inside a retention plate (PGA or Pin Grid Array).

    I'm seeing the same model, but the SAGER NP8955 (CLEVO P955ER) i see better, more solid! the panel IPS 144hz 5ms not is better for graphic design, because have 72% NTSC vs 92% to np8851, you think that after to end the pre order the price it much more high?
