    I am looking for a link to buy Sager NP9262 in North America.

    I hope i am making the right choice for a gaming pc for me and my wife. From what I have read it seems to be the best bang for the buck.

    I have been searching for good links to buy sager stuff but to no avail. Thanks in advance!

    You might want to hold off for a bit.

    Xoticpc, Powernotebooks, Pro-Star are all great choices.

    Why would I want to hold off for a bit? I have been out of the loop for a while and would like to know if there is a better time to buy.

    To Gophn, I did check that out and found :

    http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np5792...built-clevo-m570ru-p-2276.html?wconfigure=yes

    Is that the best bang for the buck to be had right now? I want me and my wife to be able to play wow maxed for now and maybe next gen stuff coming out this year. Thanks to everyone thus far for your help.

    There's the new iteration of the D901C being released, as well as a number of other laptops that should definitely be considered.

    i.e. Sager 5797 with GT280M, MSI GT725 with ATI 4850. The Asus W90vp is more powerful than either, but is running into teething issues.

    Actually , I have been searching most of yesterday and part of today for the best price on something decent.

    I am looking for something with a GT280M or the step down from that with 4g of ram (min) and a SSD (solid state drive) if possible. I also need two of them.

    The problem I am running into is the pricing (I want a deal, not something that "looks" like a deal)

    So far all the suggestions and sticky info has been pretty good, thanks :)

    the problem isnt searching the net. The problem I am having is finding exactly what want for a decent price.

    I am looking for:

    9800m gts (or ATI version)
    17" WUXGA (1920x1200) Matte
    4g ram
    250g+ HD 7200 rpm+ (SSD would be great but I doubt I can afford it)
    Windows vista 64 installed (dont care what version)
    Processor that will not bottle neck on gpu above ( this is where im fuzzy)
    Custom paint on case would be worth the cost but not necessary.

    i can go into more detail if needed but basically I want those base parts for around $1300ish if possible.

    For that price the Gateway 7811fx would suit your needs a bit better.

    To be honest, the D901C's chassis goes for more than that in general.
