    Oooooooops I just ordered my Ge60 tonight but then I found this equally awesome Sager gear!!!

    Do you guys think the Sager's build quality is better than the Ge60?
    How about screen quality? And the cooling system?

    I just betrayed sager/clevo and ordered an MSI GE60 today also, hopefully won't cry myself to sleep for not getting 7970m

    The 7970M is one of the main reasons I chose Sager. It destroys every thing else.

    MSI GE60 is similar to Sager NP6165, as both have only one fan (for CPU) and for this reason they can accommodate only a weaker video card, such as GT650M or GTX660M.

    Sager NP9130, has two fans (one for CPU and one for GPU) and it can easily accommodate GTX 670M.

    In my opinion, Sager NP9130 is much better than MSI GE60 if you want more power for video card and, overal,l a cooler laptop, also mentioning that NP9130 is a bit heavier.

    You'll regret it if is your main gaming system and you're an enthusiast. Given that you didn't sell an arm and a leg for a 7970M, I'm going to say that you're not a hardware enthusiast and you'll be fine with a 660M.

    I would've gone with the 9130 though: better cooling is crucial to me in order to keep peace of mind.

    I think you did fine with the Ge-60. It has a standard 2 year warranty unlike Sager with the default 1 year. You got a slimmer laptop which is a BIG plus if you travel and its over 1 pound lighter. I will take the 660 over the 670 because its based on newer technology and its more power efficient. If I was not much a gamer, I would have ordered the GE-60 all ready.

    I know warranties are transferrable with Sager's. I've done it before. Just contacted the reseller with new owner's info and they did it for me (thanks XoticPC) :)
