Dude... You're getting a Dell.

<snicker>

Good luck with that. You'll definately need the on-site repair stuff to deal with their cheap components and compatability problems.

Well, I am a newbie, and I am coming over from the Alienware forum. I am returning my Area51m machine due to it freezing up at random times.

I came here looking for incentive to buy a Sager machine, but wow, after seeing the whipping this dmooney took over his post, I can not believe most of you folks would be of any help to me if I ran into a jam with a Sager machine. I would almost be afraid to post a question, least I get ridiculed.

Who cares what credentials a person claims. If you as a reader are unbelieving or unimpressed, do not respond. Leaving useless chatter helps no one, except maybe the person leaving the useless chatter - makes them feel like they are accomplishing something grand.

Almost forgot - I did reinstall the O/S. My machine still freezes up.

Thank you

Darkhelmet,

Let's clear one thing up. dmoney did not start this thread asking for help from anyone. Looking at the title of the thread tells you that its a complete rant. I'm completely sure that if he started a thread asking for help and was like, hey I'm not getting what I need out of Sager does anyone have a suggestion, he would have gotten tons of helpfull replies. I posted a few questions on this forum and have gotten nothing but poeple trying to lend a hand. The responses to dmoney's post are a direct response to the ranting nature that he put forth at the very start. And would you expect less when you come to a message board with hundreds of people that have had nothing but the best experience with a company and then try to bash it?

I totally agree the power adapter plug is a horrible design. Mine went bad too. Fortunately they replaced it for free. Now I am much more careful with the fragile thing and I bought a spare so when/if another goes bad I can keep on using it while they replace it or whatever.

I have one last suggestion that may explain all the other problems you had. No one else suggested the possibility of Gremlins. Did you feed your Sager after midnight or get it wet at all? Yes, as you can tell, I too have a Comp. Sci. degree.

I hope you stick around these forums despite the hard time everyone gave you. Sounds like you got quite an education the hard way and could offer valuable advice to others here from time to time. Maybe you do that frequently already (I wouldn't know that cause I don't surf the tech support forums regularly here)? anyway, glad to hear your problems are basically resolved.

Cannot get Sager to honor original warranty. Tech support hard to get a hold of.
