    Well, after reading, researching, and listening to all of you, I think I've decided to buy a Sager 8150 over a Dell XPS 1502. No back-lit keyboard, but lots more versatile in getting what I want at a price that will beat my EEP discount from Dell. I'll be ordering soon to get in the queue.

    Can the matte screen that is on the 8130 be had on the 8150?

    Few retailers offer that option, mythlogic offers a better gamut matte screen.

    Ask around a few retailers to see where you stand on pricing :D

    Yes, but it will cost extra. Anywhere from 150-250 depending on where you chose to shop from.

    I've gotten all my pricing from mythlogic so far. I'll ask him tomorrow or maybe he'll see the question here and call me. :D
