"See, Alienware and Hypersonic don't make those laptops. A company called Clevo does, Alienware isn't even a large vendor of those laptops, at least not compared to Sager. Sager Notebooks has been in the laptop business since 1985, is the largest OEM seller of Clevo notebooks around, outselling Alienware 10 to 1. While the same system, Alienware does add a pretty paint job and a higher price, but that's the only difference. Sager sells the smae laptop under their own brand - and much cheaper to boot. Online vendors such as PowerNotebooks.com provide the store front for Sager, creating an interesting situation for the hardcore gamer who also likes a good deal. Donald Stratton was kind enough to allow me 30 days to test out the system Alienware sells as the Area 51-M, the NP5670 Force."
