Sager feedback........

Can anyone please give som feedback on Sager (good/bad....) ?
Never heard of Sager before........

 

wont find one better..

 

Search the forums for XoticPC and PowerNotebooks... they are some of the best notebook vendors around.

Also look at the Clevo Guide.

 

Best bang for the buck. If you want overpriced eye-candy, try alienware. If you want the same performance but want to pay $2000 for a paintjob, try VoodooPC or Falcon NW. If you want a computer that will never have the as much power but still pay the same, try Dell, Gateway or Toshiba.

 

I too am looking for information on Sager. I went to the Better Business Bureau and unfortunately, they get a "D" rating. Makes me not want to get the Sager even from another vendor. Sager is located just south of me in SoCal. I like the idea of not having to ship it across country.

 

Sager is indeed, in my opinion, not a great place to buy your laptop from. But try XoticPC or PowerNotebooks and you will be very, very satisfied of your new laptop.

 

I love my sager. Mine works and i have not complaint since i got it. the body is not up to date but the power is awesome. It is like kind of putting a hemi in a honda. small car but a lot of power.

 

You can try eurocom... if your living in canada... but up to now their LCD suck badly

 

What do you mean? You're making me worried! I just ordered a laptop from Eurocom...!

 

Megabud either has perfect pixel detection eyes or eurocom has the reject LCDs.

he is on his 3rd LCD in a short SHORT time

 

Did you get a more detailed report from BBB on Sager? Since Sager doesn't look for a lot of public awareness, it's possible that the only data BBB has is from one or two unhappy customers (there will always be a few, no matter how good the product), and doesn't have any of the positive information that would counter-balance one or two negative complaints.

Beyond that, as other posters have said, Sager itself is probably not the best company to actually buy directly from - they seem to have developed the philosophy that they build the systems and the retailers sell the systems, and that they'd rather focus on building and not on selling.

From what I've gathered over the past several months idling around on this forum, you get the best bang for your buck if you buy a Sager from one of the resellers (xoticpc.com and powernotebooks.com are the two that come most readily to mind, particularly since each reseller has a representative who actively participates in a meaningful way on this forum).

 

I'm sure that they wouldn't have sent him other displays without even Eurocom testing them, so...

 

I don't think Eurcom installs the LCDs, but I could be wrong. I'm fairly sure they come pre-installed from Clevo.

If I am wrong, and the resellers DO install the LCDs, unless they are purposely buying 'factory seconds', LCD screens are completey luck of the draw from the standpoint of dead pixels. This is why many resellers offer dead pixel protection for an extra fee.

 

I believe they do install them or maybe receive them from Eurocom, who knows, but the point is not that it's their fault, the point is that they happened to receive a bad batch of LCDs.
