Re: Best Notebook computer brand?
Well he is the most knowledgeable computer guy I know and he was very impressed. At the time they were the only company putting in 7200 speed hard drives not 4200 or 5400 like others . I did not come here looking to start any sort of great debate . Just passed on my knowledge and opinion on the question asked . I am not an owner or even a sales agent for Sager. So there is no argument , You win , I give up , LOL

M.S. No "great debate"...just the facts. I only mentioned this because you do see so much misleading garbage on notebooks concerning the "components", when simply stated...they all pretty much use the same components inside. Was Sager the first to offer a 7200rpm drive? I don't know, however, as soon as the 7200rpm 2.5" form-factor drives appeared on the market, all the higher-end gaming laptop makers adopted them. If they got the jump, it wasn't by much...
That was my point from the get-go...there really are no "superior" notebook computer brands (I know that this is heresy to the "fan-boys" out there!)...just some superior individual computers. There are no "great" $500 laptops...$500 just doesn't buy "great", and almost all $2K+ laptops are "great" or pretty close to it...I have yet to see a "bad" $2K+ notebook out there in today's competitive market.
I would buy based on desired features, including "ruggedness", placement of ports, and yes even "looks/case design", at the best price currently available...but "brand?" Not really, it just does not mean all that much. About the only exception to that, to me, would be Apple, because if you like their OS, there's only one way to get it, but not because they make an intrinsically "better" laptop. Apple's only advantage aside from OS, is that they simply do not market a "budget" notebook, the least expensive MacBook starting at around $1100 USD.
Notice that I specifically did not mention Customer Service! There may be a "gem" or two out there, but I rather doubt it, based on what I have seen on the manufacturers web sites. HP? I've had everything from great, to downright horrible CS, and Dell, Sony, Toshiba, Acer, Alienware, and yes Apple have had their fair share of hits and misses as well. Perhaps this is where a smaller company might have an advantage, but no one's customer service has been consistently superior.
