    Can I confirm this is a Sager/Clevo reseller? (http://www.twotop.co.jp)

    Hello there everyone.

    It's been a while, but I'm in the market for a new laptop. Sager/Clevo was my first laptop, and remembering how great it was, I'd like to try and buy another. The only problem, is that I'm living in Japan, so finding a domestic reseller has been a bit of a challenge. After doing a bit of searching, I found an old post from five years ago referring to BTOƒpƒ\ƒRƒ“EPCƒp[ƒc‚̃lƒbƒg’ʔ́E”Ì”„ ` BTOƒpƒ\ƒRƒ“’Ê”ÌTWOTOP, but because so much time has passed since then, I'm curious if there's a way to confirm they are in fact still a reseller of Sager/Clevo laptops.

    I can say they are not a Sager reseller because when you are your computers are branded with the Sager name. They do look like Clevo chassis though. Their Note-G7 looks like the P170EM, shoot them an email to ask.

    Just for the sake of my own curiosity (and to clear things up for myself). Sager is a brand, but Clevo is the company that makes the computers? I've always seen the two used together so I never really bothered to tell what's the difference. :p

    Clevo is the manufacturer of the barebone laptops. Sager then buy those barebones and parts and integrate them into an actual product.

    Sager, MYTHLOGIC, mySN (I guess) = builders
    LPC-Digital, XoticPC, PowerNotebooks, etc. = Sager resellers

    Word! He's exactly right and Clevo has been the big name behind the scenes since before the early days of Alienware. Glorious times.

    You will see many different Sager and Clevo sellers, they may even rename them to something else. There are two companies in North America which purchase directly from Clevo, its Sager and Eurocom. Everyone who sells a Clevo based machine will get it from one of those two.
