    Hi all,

    After all the excellent reviews and receptions I've seen on here I've decided to buy a Sager NP8268, I live in Australia so I have been looking at all options very carefully, because if it breaks down it's gonna be very costly to fix.

    I am in my last year of school and doing a film as my multimedia major work, I require Adobe After Effects with a few decently sized plugins (Element 3D and a few Red Giant software) and also Photoshop. My current computer is unable to handle this and will heat up after about 10-20 minutes of usage and shut down shortly thereafter, I have gotten all the parts exchanged on warranty recently but no change. I also enjoy some computer games, occasionally but if I do start I'll play for a good while, mainly WoW and some single player fps/rpg (Borderlands, Witcher)

    So my question is this; since I don't know terribly much about computer hardware composition any feedback is appreciated, would this customization of the Sager NP8268 be strong enough to handle demanding video editing and be able to to play games at better than average setting at a decent framerate:

    • - Sager - 4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i7-4810MQ (2.8GHz - 3.8GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache)
    • - NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 860M (4.0GB) [User Upgradeable]
    • - 12GB DDR3 1600MHz [3x4GB] Dual Channel Memory
    • - RAID-0 Storage - (Stripe)
    • - 2x 120GB Crucial M5 mSATA SSD ( Storage Drive ) - one preconfigured as an OS storage drive
    • - 8X Super Multi DVDRW/CDRW Combo Drive
    • - ~Windows 8.1 - 64-Bit
    • - Sager 2 Year Parts

    Ok so yeah if you could just give me your opinion on this please it would be appreciated? Also I can't go any higher than this =$1550.

    Much Love!

    Also if anyone has had experiences with Sager/Xotopic regarding how they deal with international shipping for the laptop at first and any replacement parts if needed, I'd be interested to hear that as well (I have friends in the US otherwise if they don't do international shipping).
