I was looking through the threads here and someone commented how the display isn't too great on the HP. I also feel like the display is lacking and it has bad viewing angles, so that inspired me to look around.
I current have the Dv6tqe with the 6770m:

I'm thinking about returning it(I'm still valid for the 21 day return policy) to get one of the Sagers, but I'm no expert so I would like to hear your opinions!
I found this Sager:
http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np5165-clevo-w150hr-p-3063.html
It seems on par with the HP except it has a much higher resolution and the graphics is 2gb DDR3. The price is also very similar. I'm not sure which is better for straight up gaming.
Now I know some people are going to tell me to look at this laptop, I've seen it around a lot on the forums:
http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8130-clevo-p151hm1-p-2973.html
That is one incredible machine, but I really cant afford to go over my $1000 budget. Battery life isn't a problem for me, but I will be carrying it around a lot. So I have a few questions for you guys:
1.) Will the np5165 play games better than the Dv6t(assuming both are run in native resolution)? The graphics seem similar but the sager has optimus and a greater resolution.
2.) How is Sager's warranty and return policy? Is it the same through Xoticpc? What's their reputation for build quality and such?
3.) How much of a performance difference(gaming wise) is the np8130 above the other two laptops? Is it enough to wait until I can afford to get it?
4.) If I decide to get a Sager, should I purchase a thermal compound? Or does xoticpc do it for me? I am a little uncomfortable opening up laptops.
Thanks in advance!
