Sager Advice Please

hi guys and gals and Nirvana (fancy seeing you here)
ok,down to buisiness.
for some of you who know my story about my dearly departed alienware m15x will know im after a new computer. but where to start,that is the question.
i would prefer a 15.4" but as the 9262 is a 17" that throws that idea out of the window.
i did look at the new 16" sony vaio fw11zu which was almost half the price i paid for my m15x but as it only had a 256mb graphics card im not too sure about that. i had some advice from a member saying "

" but after using the 8800gtx do i want to downgrade,hmmm.

im not really a gamer as such but like to play the orange box games once in a while.

so what do you experts suggest i go for if i decide on a sager.
thanks

 

If my memory serve me correctly, I remembered you will be carry it around a lot. so M860TU (aks sager np8660) is definitely your man.

 

thanks for the reply Nirvana.
im thinking of retireing from djing (again) as since the smoking ban in the uk my residancy has died a death so really the only time i will be moving it around would be for vacations or to friends or work.
ill have a readup on the 8660. cheers

 

Right,+1 for sager

 

the reason why i said M860TU is that there is no Sager in UK.

 

i was just reading up on that. any repair back to the usa would be down to me so that puts me off slightly,(actually a lot).dalm it.

come on sager, when are you going to start selling in the uk

 

there are tons of UK retailers.
check this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=264311
ie: http://www.kobaltcomputers.co.uk/ one of their representative - Neil visit this forum a lot. highly recommended.

 

Kobalt and Novatech should have them soon.
August ,early or mid.

 

I dont mean to be a dick or anything and diverting customers from kobalt but i plan on getting the NP 8660 (M860TU) from xoticpc.com.
I had another thread opened about how much of a bother it is to import notebooks into the UK from the US but its not that bad.

If you buy from xoticpc/ Powernotebook.com you have to pay additional VAT (about £150 depending on your configuration) and International shipping at £110 approx ($223).
Its a pain that you have to add another £200+ to the notebook cost but i still think its works out cheaper than anywhere here in the UK.
I mean i checked out Cyberpower today and one of their laptops is an M70-RU but get this instead of starting at the $1770 (£870) that xotipc offers their prices start at £1400. A bit gak like.

Anyway dude Nirvana's spot on. The NP8660 sounds perfect for you.

 

thanks for all your advice so far. ill have a good read up on them all.

the comanche sli looks very nice but £2733,98
