Between those two, go with the Sager

[MrDJ]

sager all the way. you will find many many including me x AW owners who now own clevo's.

suppose it depends if you want a christmas tree or a beast.

Why are you guys saying Sager? You could perhaps explain to him why to go with it then just saying "Go with the Sager, just because". The M17x has a superior RGBLED screen, superior graphics cards, overclocking and DX 11 support.

You mentioned monthly payments. Keep in mind that with Alienware, it's 12 months interest-free BUT if you don't pay it off within that timeline, the interest will be around 1200$ over the 4 year term.

If you're spending that much on an Alienware, then I would go for it instead of the Sager. Remember to read the Dell thread where you can 'haggle' sales reps into giving you 100-200$ off the price, as well as dig up promo coupons online which could save you another 100$ off.

I would pay it off within the first year. it sounds like alienware is the way to go

I think it all depends on your personality. If you are business mined kind of person and don't want attention when you pull it out your back pack then I would go with the Sager. There build and quality are top not notch, but to me they are just boring to look at. No offense to any Sager owners. Myself I would go with the Alienware because I am just a big kid inside and I love there looks and extras, like the lighted keyboard effects everything else that makes it an Alienware. Both are great computer and very upgradeable so I don't think you could go wrong with ether.

Dell has all kinds of deals that pops out of nowhere for the m17x just be paitent and keep your eyes peeled itll payoff.
