    I thought of getting the Gateway P-7811
    but now seems the Sager 5793 is better pick
    due to the build quality
    but then I got a few questions:

    1. which of the upgrades are worth? Since I am very limited in Budget

    2. Built-in Intel® PRO/Wireless 5300 802.11 a/g/n Wi-Fi Link
    Built-in Intel® PRO/Wireless 5100 802.11 a/g/n
    wts the different

    3. How often does the dead pixel comes out?

    4. Hows the warranty? what shd i do if there are problems? phone them?

    5. How is the "pay cash" done? I have got a check card, does that counts?

    6. What should i do while there are problems I find out as I get it?


    Ps: Its my first time buying laptop online so ..... as many commets as possible please :eek:

    Yeah, on xotixpc the wireless cards are the same price, but on sager's website the 5300 is $25 dollars more so that is obviously the better one. Not sure what the difference is, but you might as well go for the better one since they're the same price on xoticpc.

    1. which of the upgrades are worth? Since I am very limited in Budget

    -what exactly is your budget?

    4. Hows the warranty? what shd i do if there are problems? phone them?

    -yes, that should be the first thing you do, and then you can always create a thread about the problem in this forum :D

    5. How is the "pay cash" done? I have got a check card, does that counts?

    the website says paying by check is ok, so I assume a check card is just as good. You can always call them if you aren't sure about the payment procedure


    6. What should i do while there are problems I find out as I get it?

    see question 5?

    check card count as credit card which you won't receive 3% cash discount.
    there are few types of "pay cash":
    1) wire transfer, about $20-45 handling fee depends on your bank
    2) checks, $0 handling fee but might take up to 2-3 weeks to clear
    3) USPS money order, takes 1 days to clear, $1.5 per $1000

    If you are including an operating system then the total, with shipping, will come out to around $1500. So yea, I guess you won't be able to get any upgrades, but don't worry...you're still getting an incredibly good configuration for that price.

    If I'm not mistaken the 5300 should have a better range than the 5100 wireless card. :)
