Helped you finish your line

Thermal paste? That was the comeback? A simple call or email to Roswell, would even allow that, at probably no extra charge.The option of not buying an O/S is hardly an advantage. I see Alienware as the the equivalent of Apple in the PC side of things, they marry their components inside nicely and to make sure they work well with each other, that requires an OS to test them out. Installing FreeDOS on a performance notebook and letting the enduser be the guinea pig as to whether those components works well with each other, for something of this caliber, is a form of being irresponsible in my books. I dont want to be troubleshooting FOR them, after the amount of money I have splurged for this.

Again I reiterate, Alienware is not about the bling. Having the bling and turning it off is an OPTION, so that if you're in that LAN Party with the right crowd you can turn it on, and if you're in a more formal setting, you have the OPTION of turning it off. IF your setting is more formal than that of the previous LAN Party setting I've mentioned, then why are you even considering a premium gaming laptop then? Shouldnt it be better to get a business-oriented laptops like the Sony Z. Oh, you wanted the OPTION of gaming on your laptop as well, you say? Well, that concept of having an OPTION I've pointed out comes out nice and clear now, doesnt it? Zing!



Wow, you have security issues there, man. If given an opportunity to own a Ferrari, would you still rather drive a Wira, even if it's Wira engine is shanked off and replaced with a souped up Evo engine? And why the heavy consideration on "what other people think"? You have "what other people think" as one of the consideration on buying your stuff?

Classifying "extravagance" and "premium" is subjective , depending on the level of one's financial security. I find buying a Ferrari as an extravagance, but not to let say, Person A, who loves performance cars, and have either saved and skimp on his savings just enough to buy one. He does not have to be super rich, only do well enough to save up for a Ferrari. Another person, Person B would say, that getting a Ferrari is out of his consideration because it is not within his affordability range, so that other person picks another car that almost mirrors that Ferrari in performance, but may have certain concessions and sacrifices on looks. It looks scoffingly plain to the untrained eye, but once Person B stepped on that gas pedal, it is a different story. But, it does not stop the general public's already established impression that the Ferrari = fast. No matter how much that Person B wants to preach the virtues of his car, the general public would probably have dubious looks on their face at first before it is "test-driven" to prove his point. It doesnt help that his chosen car have the boxy dimensions of a Kenari.

In 2 years, when all is said and done, which brand would people feel more inclined to purchase, should I choose to resell it then? Alienware or Sager? Point is moot if you choose not to sell it, but having that sense of brand recognition and is like a warm blanket on a rainy day to me.

I'm all for reviews and introducing new brands and their OPTIONS to others, but choosing to harp on those new brand by downtrodding and mocking another brand, you'd most definitely be inviting a counter-reponse from those brand(s) you have retorted against now, wouldnt it? Newton's Third Law, my friend.......your actions most definitely will invite its appropriate REACTIONS.

P/S: This may be a Wilayah Sager, but the Mothership patrols the skies.

It was a sarcasm, in case you failed to detect it

heroiuu, u might not understand why some of us wanna get the sager,Pure hardcore gamers dont really care if their lappies have the bling factors or not, for us,its just the performance, and for just 6.1k , u get uber performances, for me i was thinking of getting the Asus G50V. its a beauty bling factor. It cost about 6.6k - 7k. But the specs, its like half the performance of the sager with just a 9700GT. Benchmark is half.

We might not have the budget to get super Gaming notebooks like alienware, Falcon NW, Dell XPS 1730.

We dont want any arguments here in thread. Just like Corad said,
"To each his own".
So lets keep it friendly k.

For me i prefer the sager for the specs at the price. Surely i would lose the bling factor, but for its price, its damn worth it. Of course if i have the money surely i would go for the alienware la. but for now as a student, i could settle up with this.


Ini Wilayah Sager

The arguments would not have come if the TS didnt portray the Alienware as "just bling only" and polish his Sager choice to kingdom come. I said it before and I will say it here again, if the decision against the Alienware was purely on the basis of paying premium price over the Sager offering, then we are on the same page here, and I totally agree, the Alienware is more pricetag-prohibitive. But lambasting the Alienware because it has the OPTION of bling, just simply invites a counter-reaction.



I totally agree, and if the criteria at which the choice came from is because "we might not have the budget" and it stops there, I'm with you, brother. But dont make it look as if the Alienware is all bling and no brains inside. That was what I was responding to, as well as TS's insecurities of having a nicer looking laptop(which is again, subjective). The bling (Light Pipe, AlienFX linings, and illuminated keyboard) is OPTIONAL, they can be turned off. Best of both worlds, the world of business-like simplicity, or decked-out decadence.

And heroiuu, you're getting out of context here , dude. The Sager matches, if not overtakes the Alienware specs when it comes portable power. Your arguments are tepid and fickle at best. The looks on the Alienware is not the all-consuming, the-one-and-only reason one should get it. It should only be part of the consideration.

wat..????? u kidding me rite?? "The Sager matches"....ermm dude i wanna know..went u first looking at sager NP8660.... wat was u thinking?? GAMING?? WORKING?? TRAVELING?? MUTIMEDIA?? (dont look at the spec, i mean the spec are AWESOME) but the reason i ask u cuz every design hav a concept..now alienware hav a gaming concept. and that made people wanna play games wit those instant of plain design laptop like MAC..
and FrostLance said that

and wat if people do care bout the bling factor...wat do u call it?? Unpure gamers?? ofcause pll still want the best from the outside 2 the inside..

congrats, u clearly proven to us whats the IQ level of 2nd year MMU student

There is no getting to you. I'm done talking to you here man. The others have tried to reason to you, and we all know how that went.

dude u outside of the topic now.!!

kind of a war here? I would say branding nothing much to do these day, the fall of Sony, you see this

by the way, it is better to get a system that comes with certain OS that at least can get the hardware to work with, FreeDOS is no no,

sorry I am getting offtopic now,

It really comes down to the buyer

You are beyond unbelievable

ahahah i take that as a compliment

I'm glad you do. I wish to see your rig with the specs matching to this Sager of which you use it solely for word processing, spreadsheet purposes. Considering this fact, anything lower than these specs will be rendered useless in your league, I suppose.

god u made me lough , and so not true..im not saying that.. i just give u an example for working stuff...atleast that was my first thought went i see picture and how it made and the concept...but after i read all the spec and i think..mostly u can do everything in this notebook.............but i still think that sager can do better than this.
