    what are the best places to buy a Sager NP5791 with decent reviews and more importantly price...i know most are going to be general the same in price.

    Also are there any sites/places that sell a nex gen optical drive(HD DVD) w/ HDMI output(or similar) in the Sager NP 5791?

    And Lastly, How easy is it to add an additional video card for SLi later down the road, or do I have to jump into SLi from the beginning with Sager?

    I can only speak to your first question. First see Gophn's great guide http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=91510
    Second, I can say personally that http://www.powernotebooks.com/ gave me great pre buy service. So did xoticpc. I bothered both of them with a series of questions over the course of a month.

    As for SLI, I decided to get both cards right away. I'm not a big techie and want as little to with opening the machine as possible. :spinny:

    If you are Canadian then I would definitely look up AET solutions where I bought mine.

    http://www.aetsolutions.ca/

    Eurocomm also offers the clevo machines via their own brand if you are Canadian. http://www.eurocom.ca/

    If you are American then I can't help you LOL! I am sure the other suggestions here are top notch.

    Cheers,
    Jeremy

    i ordered from xotic and was told at any time i can simply call them and get what i need from them. since i know ill want an extra battery soon, and things like the tv tuner and turbo mem can also be added very easy this is one of the things that made my decision over the toshiba i was looking at easier..
