So why am i in a huge dilemma i explain it now.
I like the Msi becuase of the gtx 780m its better then the 870m ,but i heard the cooling isnt that good at Msi laptops
the cpu is still weaker there are msi laptops or other brands with minimum the 4800q version.
I like the asus because its quality,the cooling is way better but u have to sacrifice the gpu for it,the cpu is still 4700q

And finally the sager it looks like the best deal with the 6gb gtx 870 m ,cpu is 4810q,bluray,ic diamond compound.and separate cooling fans for gpu and cpu than the Asus...the only problem i dont know how drivers will work,i saw reviews on youtube where the owners talked about sound card driver issues and usb issues.Anyone owns here sager laptop? any opinion? Worths to go with sager instead of the other much more popular brands?

Asus ROG is the way my good man.
MSI gt70 and the sager will have similar temperatures. Both their cooling systems are pretty average (despite what you here) However the ROG keeps it all quiet and also extremely quiet.
furthermore the difference between the 870M and the 780M is quite low, should be between 3-5% during benchmark tests, that honestly you probably won't even realise.
The CPU difference between the Asus and the sager is also minimal as well, it's extremely difficult to come close to bottlenecking a Mobile CPU with a mobile GPU - only 2 880Ms in SLI would actually bottleneck the I7 4700HQ and that's the most powerful configuration you can have right now.
Do you actually own blu ray disks as well as actively use them / watch them?
the 6GB of VRAM on the 870M is for sales purposes only, it actually does nothing towards actual framerates, if you're still unsure, just ask and i will explain it.
Hope this helps.

I would also go with the asus laptop as I own one, I don't know about sager but MSI are very loud and can get hot. I have read quite good review about asus rog laptops. You can always check the notebookcheck website to see more details.

Thank you very much for the responses guys, i really apreciate it.
''dasulman'' thank you for the explaniation,you have convinced me,simply the asus is a much more quality brand.No essential difference between the Cpu and Gpu as u mentioned so i go for the Asus.Thank you for the responses.!
