Power Pro P12:15 v. Sager NP2096

Is there a difference even though they're both built off of the same Compal JHL 90. The Powerpro also happens to come with a 120$ premium but a full 3 year warranty parts and labor o-o;.

 

They are both built on the Compal JHL90.

The main difference is the warranty and support.

The PowerPro P 12:5 comes Standard with a 3 Year Parts and Labor Warranty w/Next Business Day Shipping paid both ways, plus Lifetime DOMESTIC 24/7 Toll Free Telephone Tech Support

The Sager NP2096 comes Standard with a 1 Year Parts and Labor warranty w/3 Day shipping paid both ways and West Coast business hours support Monday through Friday.

The PowerPro models also offer Corsair or Kingston memory standard with the option to upgrade to Kingston HyperX CL4 low latency DDR2/800MHz memory, and most hard drives are Seagate Momentus 7200.2 7,200 RPM drives with a 5 year warranty.

When Vista is ordered with a Sager NP2096 you will get the media for both 64bit and 32bit versions. Only one can be installed at a time.

Those are the most important differences.

If you are looking at these two models you might also want to consider the PowerPro P 15:3.

Hey Paladin, how would you compare the PowerPro P 15:3 to a similarly configured XPS m1530?

 

I wouldn't...

We don't sell, handle or have any way to test the ~XPS
