I doubt DELL would have specs even close to anything made by Sager:

why buy a 20" gaming lappy? Betcha the battery lasts aout 12 min if youre lucky, and pricey as hell. May as well buy a kickass desktop and strap it to your back...

Not really trying to be mean, its a cool rig, but just sooooo frickin impractical imho.

I just bought one 3 weeks ago. A Sony Vaio. VGN 15L. It was 890,000 off the home shopping channel and came with a carry case and an Epson printer/scanner.

So far, I'm much more impressed with the printer/scanner than the laptop!! It's underpowered (1.7 Celeron) and has so much software pre-loaded by Sony that it runs like sick donkey. It's Korean Windows so I'm kind of worried about going into add/remove and strimming down all that software. It's ridiculous though. The CPU idles at 50% usage!! 57 processes show up when you open task manager. Is that normal?

Damn that's got a weigh a ton. What's the point of a 20" laptop it isn't portable at all.

My laptop is 8" and when I get the next one I'm considering getting a smaller one.

20" inches? What's the point?
