    Does sager ever update their driver download page? Sure I could find drivers elsewhere but why should I have too?

    They do occasionally/rarely - and only after extensive testing WHQL certs etc..... Why would you want to wait for outdated drivers, just go get the newest ones direct.

    I'm not looking for any particular drivers. It would just be nice if I could check the drivers page once in a while to see if theres anything new. Instead I'm forced to surf multiple websites to check for new drivers.

    The only laptops I owned in the past are Dell and they constantly updated the drivers and bios. I guess that could be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it.

    Really? I've owned several Dells in the past and it took them months to update their drivers pages, and they were usually out of date for things like graphics/audio. I'd rather not have to rely on unreliable driver pages, imo. If you have vista/win7 it should automatically check for driver updates, and you can find (freeware) programs that also check for the latest drivers for things if you want (the latest driver isn't always the best, however).

    I pre-ordered the M1530 from Dell and had to upgrade the majority of the drivers the day I got it and this was from their own page. This was around 15 days after its release date. It seemed like every time I checked there was a new driver released. I'm sure these came later than I could of found elsewhere but Sager hasnt put out a single driver in 4 months!

    The Clevo page for the 570RU has exactly one driver dated 2009.
    Many of them are still 2007, including the wireless -.-; Intel released updated 4965AGN drivers last month.
