    I'm about to pull the trigger on a Sager, as soon as 900m release. But where is the best place to buy it in Ontario, Canada?

    I took a look on Xotic, but to buying from them I'd have to pay an extra $200 usd for the ups express that they offer, which is very overpriced.

    I heard about reflex notebook as well, but I'm not sure about them...

    Can anyone help me ?

    Have anyone bought a Sager living in Canada already?

    Thank you all in advance

    UPS Express should not be that much, I would suggest double checking your cart to make sure there are not 2 computers in there.

    Also when you use UPS Express you do not have to pay brokerage fees to UPS which average $80-100. If you use ground you do have to pay that.

    Why do you regret if I may ask?

    Hm, now I see. Does sager have a background of dead pixels or you were just being extra careful?

    Do consider the reason you dont have any dead pixels is because you got it :thumbsup:


    They are not known for it, but LCD panel technology in general can have some. Sager's policy is 5 total or 1 in the middle before they will cover it under warranty, which is one of the best policies out there.

    Haven't heard any of the dead pixel coming from any Sagers, or at least none that I have come across on the forums here.
    But yeah, I was just being extra careful... Didn't want to end up waiting almost a month for my laptop, to find a couple of dead pixels
    (that would annoy the out of me) I wouldn't be able to RMA.

    I bought a Sager laptop (W350SS) 2 weeks ago from reflexnotebook.ca. I did not get an email or a confirmation call. They charged my credit card and I have not heard back from them since. It'd be nice to have updates on the whole process. I expect a little more having spent $1600+.

    You can give them a call to get a status update. Also check your spam/junk folder as any emails may have went there. I know we run into that from time to time especially with "Xotic" in our name.
