I've been waiting to buy my first notebook ever, and after a good deal of research, I think sager is going to be my choice. This may sound trivial, but I came across sager because I was determined to find one with a full keyboard and a tv tuner. I just couldn't understand why these other companies are saying they have desk top replacements, but I felt that being without my numbers keypad and my tv tuner was too much to give up for portability. Many don't offer dual bays anymore either. I'd like to have a combo CD/CD writer and eventually add a DVD burner. But, I am nervous about spending so much money on a company that is unknown to me, unlike Dell, Sony, etc. who everyone has heard about. I'm thinking about the 8887, and I was hoping some of you could tell me your good and/or bad experiences with sager and/or this model. Also, are there software programs, besides Windows, that are included? Thanks so much for your help!
