    I'm very much aware of how bloated most laptops come these days, at least with Dell, HP, etc. Do the Sagers come with this bloatware as well? The last boutique laptop I bought (which ran great till the cmos just burnt out) was a rebranded Compal CL56 and I got it with the disks needed but without anything pre installed. I would like to avoid having to do a whole clean install, since this comes with Vista already preconfigured, but it seems if the sager comes with Dell-style bloat, I might have to anyway since I only got the 100gb 7200rpm drive, and would like to wait awhile before I have to upgrade the HD. I also want it to run fast as possible (why else get the 4gb ram, faster Penryn, 8800gtx, etc.) so would doing this make it run better?

    That's one of the plus factors of Sager/Clevo's = no bloatware.
