The Sager is faster, but will chew through more battery and create more heat.

 

[micahpeden]

i want pure speed better fps etc i'm buying a 2nd battery and will set it on an icepack if i have to... i want maximum fps!! lol

 

[micahpeden]

oh and also is it even still faster considering its only a single video card as where the xps 1730 has dual?

 

[lostandwandering]

yes it is faster. This will give you a general idea: http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3196

Yeah, the Sager will do it. More powerful processor, along with a more powerful GPU (it's single GPU > 2 lesser GPUs).

While you're at it, I would suggest getting a pair of these:

They're extra large, perfect! 😀
