RFS: Downgrading"

It has much better specs than the new ones I've been looking at for same price. Should I take the chance on buying used since it's still under warranty and what's everyones impressions with Sager?

Thanks in advance!

I think some other members on here will be better positioned to advise you on this, but my thoughts would be:

- impressions with Sager - this is the owners forum for the laptop you listed http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...sager-np8153-s-np8152-s-owners-lounge.795090/

"Reason for selling: Downgrading" - who is selling this in order to downgrade, seems a strange thing for a company to say so is the "guy that builds customs" someone on EBay or similar? The members on here who are in the US will be more familiar with Sager warranties and so on, but I would definitely recommend to check for proof of extended warranty; unlike in Europe, the US minimum is 1 year rather than 2 years.

 

well it should stay cool and if warranty and all is included then it's not a bad deal.

@XMG it's not that unusual for people to downgrade to something like a macbook, dell XPS etc.

 

If the warranty is intact and you get confirmation from the reseller then its not too bad.

 

Consider that people where getting 6700HQ GTX1070 AW15's for about 1600$ last Black Friday... NEW.

 

Yes, always check with the warranty provider that warranties are transferable and not restricted to original purchaser only. That's a nasty clause I've seen creeping into more and more T&C fine print.

Clevos have always been excellent value second hand covered by warranty as they depreciate so quickly. 50-60% of original purchase cost at 1yr point is very common.

 

I said it would be a strange thing for a company, or for "a guy who builds customs" to say ;-)
