    I want to get a laptop for university and mid gaming.I'm stuck between Sager NP5160 and Asus N53SN (with 2 GB gt550m).Which one of them have a better build quality that can last for a longer time?How are their cooling system?Will the cpu and gpu heat bad?Will the palmrest,keyboard and touch pad burn my hands and fingers?Is the 2 GB GT550M much more powerful than 1GB GT540M?Or it just slightly better?

    Sager > Asus in build quality and cooling;
    GT 550M > GT 540M. Not by very much at all, and neither card is really made to game a lot, but it IS better.

    The Sager should stay very cool, as long as you keep the fans and whatnot clean. The ASUS won't be a pushover but I still recommend sager over it. And please learn to use spacebar after each sentence, your post was just kinda annoying to read >_>
