    Which is a better sager reseller xoticpc or lpcdigital . I know both of them are top notch but I want to know which of them is better... I actually am eyeing for sager np8268s which I am getting for 30 bucks less from lpc digital via additional discount besides cash discount. So what do u guys suggest? Lpc or xoticpc?

    Both of them offer high quality service, I suppose just go with the cheaper option, in this case being lpc.

    As stated above, both are excellent. However, I've always gone with LPCDigital in order to avoid paying the sales taxes in California. Sorry Cali! :hi2:

    I had a great experience with xotic with the order. Support is likely similar between them since they are both Sager at the end of the day. Xotic has a presence on this forum which is a nice added touch and if you contact them they may match LPC.

    It's a matter of personal preference and what is important to you really. Xotic offers a lot of addons you don't get with the other resellers

    I went with xotic, but from what I have read all the resellers are amazing to deal with. After this transaction the big OEMs will need one heck of a machine to draw me away from xotic.

    Probably can't go wrong with either. If lpc is cheaper go with them. I've dealt with xoticpc twice and sager directly after my motherboard died on my first purchase. Sager had my laptop back in a week. You're in good hands just because it's sager and you're just buying from a reseller.

    We don't collect sales tax for CA residents either, just Nebraska since thats where we are.

    Sager is in CA so regardless of where you purchase it from, if it were shipped directly from Sager to a CA address then we'd have to collect sales tax. If the shipping address were in CA then we would have Sager ship it to us, then us back to you. Do be aware though you legally are supposed to claim any online purchases you make that you dont pay sales tax for when you file your yearly income taxes. Its under "use tax".

    I went with Xotic, and would not order from another reseller again. Had a great experience with Xotic

    Thanks for the clarification. Always thought you all were in California.

    Happy to help, often times I do wish we were in CA instead of Nebraska. :)
