I like the m5. Might just be something to get for web surfing on long trips.

Plus if its sub 500 usd then its not that bad of a price (though still a bit more than some small netbooks)

I love the NoteMagix M5. I totally want one.

the M15 is nice could have been a bit cheaper though

the M15 is a Sager!

the M15 is a Sager!

It appears to be based on the MSI-1651. Sager doesn't make its own laptops.

Yeah, that's definitely the MS-1651 casing, although it uses DDR3 memory, which none of the current 15" MSI laptops have. I'm going to guess it might be using a newer mainboard like the upcoming GT-727.

I wonder where the M10 comes from. What case does it use?

[Han Bao Quan]

I don't know what so special about the M15. Its specs certainly don't look impressive to me.
