This is strange, and contradicts everything I've heard about Clevo/Sager and the supposed "value" they bring when it cones to performance. I've compared laptops from some different resellers with comparable specs, and this is what I found:
Alienware 15:
- i7 4710HQ
- GTX 970m
- 16GB RAM
- 128GB SSD
- 1TB 5400RPM HDD
- 1080p IPS screen
- Windows 8.1
- Killer Wireless AC
- 1 year warranty
Cost: $1800 CAD at Best Buy (usually on sale for 50-100$ off, so let's say $1750 CAD).
Sager NP8651 /...
Alienware 15: better value than Clevo/Sager?
