    Ok this is my last thread about what laptop to buy. I have made a decision. The Sager NP8170 with a ATI HD6990m.

    Here is my main question, with the NBR discount, I am wondering what my total price the 8170 would cost me.

    According to this,

    Sager Models: 8150 / 8170 / 8180

    $100 OFF if you spend $1500+ currently advertised. NBR Members receive an extra $50 OFF for a total of $150 OFF! (Sager parts only, does not include shipping, taxes, etc.)
    $50 OFF Ram Promotion (Check a Sager laptop's configurator page to see if your laptop is eligable for this limited time only promotion)
    $100 OFF ATI Radeon 6990m Graphics Card (NP8150 & NP8170 Only)
    FREE U.S. UPS Ground Shipping (Only in the lower 48 states of the United States)
    3% Cash Discount
    LIFETIME Limited Labor & 2 or 3 Year Part Warranties are Available (Great Warranties are listed in each model's configurator section on our website)
    LIFETIME 24/7 Toll Free Telephone Technical Support (Other companies only offer telephone support during business hours only)
    30 Day Sager NO QUESTIONS ASKED Hassle Free Return Policy
    Lowest Price Guarantee
    FREE Copy of Battlefield 3 (With any hard drive upgrade to an Intel 120GB SSD or higher.) Click Here for details.

    I would get $50 off for being a NBR member, an additional $100 for the 6990m (there is no exclusions about anything else), as well as the current Sager $100 promo. So doing some math:

    List price: $1469 - $50 NBR member - $100 6990m promo - $1319

    Am I right?

    Hello OCN-

    That is correct. However, the $100 for the 6990M is already reflected in that price. So, that would modify that price a bit there.

    The RAM choice you have selected is correct.

    Also keep in mind for the Battlefield 3 game, you must upgrade the drive as per the side notes: With any hard drive upgrade to an Intel 120GB SSD or higher

    Yes, Xotic PC is offering the Hybrid Drives and Intel 520 Series Solid State Drives because that is what Sager is offering.
