    Hey guys. I've narrowed my search down this far. Right now I'm trying to decide between the Sager version of the laptop or the XoticPC version. The Sager is certainly cheaper, but the Force has a better warranty. I like that the Sager ships w/ both 32 and 64 bit Vista. Also I was looking at the 2 gigs standard and upgrading the RAM when I recieve the laptop if that would be cheaper. What do you guys think?

    If you bought the sager would you buy the extra warranty, and how important is the warranty to you? If your answer is no then save your 200-300 dollars and get the sager. Also are you looking to play alot of games cause the Force's gpu is ddr3 which is faster opposed to the sager which is ddr2.

    The Force 3310 and the Sager NP2096 are both built on the Compal JHL90, so they both use GDDR2.

    I think you may be referring to the Force 3551 which, like the PowerPro P 15:3, are built on the MSI-1651 which has GDDR3.

    Thanks for the input! I'm leaning towards warranty since it's a brand new system. Altho I'm thinking that if anything does go wrong it would happen before the year was up, but you never know. I just need to hurry up and decide what I want to do! lol :)
