Why do Clevo models have Sager names too?

This might seem like a stupid question, and probably has a really simple answer, but I always wondered:

If Clevo is the company that makes the actual chassis, and Sager is just a reseller like others (from what I could see), why are Clevo models also known, sometimes primarily, by Sager names?

I mean, there's other resellers that change the name of the Clevos and call them other names, but those names don't become widely known or even replace what the actual Clevo model name is.. So why use Sager names?

 

Because Sager is by and large the most widely known and widely bought-from reseller, with many customers overseas who'll come to the US on a visit and purchase it while there, or ask family on trips to get them and bring them back. Many people who rebrand clevo don't make it known that it IS a clevo, so many people don't make the link. For the intents and purposes of this forum, listing the Clevo model is the best method you can use. The Sager model numbers at this point are gibberish to me, really, when back when I bought my D900F (NP9280) they all made perfect sense. Get in a good habit now =D

It creates a brand identity for sager.

 

Hey, we're not all animals here. We dropped an F-bomb once. Eurocom Model Specifications

Also, perhaps you need to start your own laptop retailer in Trinidad and Tobago? .

 

Now there is some nostalgia, a via chipset and athlon 64. Back in the days intel had competition.

 

If they are selling an actual "Sager" branded computer then they would be a Sager reseller. If they are not but also include "Sager" in their name it could be just so they get more search results since a lot of people do search for the Sager model number.

 

We just had a machine from that same era come into our shop because the LCD screen went bust. Customer was still using it for work. Internet Browser they were using?

Netscape Navigator.

Talk about nostalgia.

 

haha ours is called the Battalion

 

Oh my word you actually dropped an F-bomb. XD!!!! Also, I wish I could start it here. But nobody would buy from it. My country is "spend $6000 ($930 USD)+ on smartphone, but my laptop must cost $2500 ($388 USD) and I want it to play BF4 on ultra and last 5 years". It's sad T-T.

XD I didn't even know you guys were on this forum. My friend is still using one of your P150HM models.

 

Great to hear! Hopefully its still going strong!
we've been here for a few months now and trying to improve in our laptop division.

 

You want to improve? Offer more options. A LOT more options. Sager doesn't offer screen upgrades and SSDs Mythlogic will. Sager and Mythlogic don't offer the 4 year warranty or the PSU upgrades (with P7x0ZM) that mySN would. Allow people to pay for mirror-sheen lapped heatsinks (which you TEST to make sure it covers the CPU correctly), etc. Sell spare parts to users who need them, like LCD cables etc. A few people've been hunting for the eDP cable for the LP173WF2-TPB1 for the P37xSM-A machines lately; they'd gladly buy em from you.

Especially if you keep prices competitive. Oh, and allow users some modification allowance. My 780Ms for example NEED the modified vBIOS or I cannot use 120Hz. I get graphical glitches otherwise, and my PC is a 3D model. 120Hz is literally the selling point. If you were to void my warranty for that, that's no good. Also, you can ask Prema to make unlocked system BIOSes for you (with your logo etc), and I dunno, charge like +$20 or so for a user to get an unlocked BIOS on their machine? A lot of us are gonna do it anyway, to be honest. Might as well offer it as an option, and then there's no risk of a user bricking their machine to do it.
