| the new Alienware area51m or sager 5680
I am trying to decide on a laptop to buy. And I initially thought I wanted a area 51m. But after reading many of the posts on here I am thinking the sager might be better. But I wasnt' sure if everyone was talking about the older area 51m or the newer one. Because the new one has the option of a 16 in screen, is a little lighter, (7.5 lbs), and someone wrote that it has battery life of 4 hours. I don't know if this accurate, but I was curious on peoples opinions. Thanks |

I believe Clevo makes both of these laptops, and they are pretty much the same laptop. | |

| I've heard the exact opposite I'd stay away from Alienware. | |

We did a alienware area-51m2 review HERE. Not reviewing their customer service, but some performance, good pics, and batt life test. Also compared some of the performance specs to the Sagers. It was with the NVIDIA GPU which many feel the new ATI they offer will do better in video testing. | |
