Both are Clevo resellers, computers made in Taiwan. Sager is the original north american importer though you can get cheaper prices from resellers like pctorque and discountlaptops.com, both of which get excellent reviews on www.resellerratings.com If you're an AMD fan then maybe you can go Ferrari. Personnally I'm not a big fan of the Ferrari since, Ferrari car = cool...Ferrari laptop..well, its not really so cool. Still, if you're looking for pretty PCs like the 3880, there's the chembook 2070 which is pretty good. The GPU is slightly slower/crappier than the 3880 but still good enough to play any games out there right now. Its also over a pound lighter...Battery life is also slightly less than the 3880. I really like the design though. <a href="http://www.discountlaptops.com/index.php?section=specs&model_id=1149&category_id=39&category_theme=c1" rel="nofollow">http://www.discountlaptops.com/index.php?section=specs&model_id=1149&category_id=39&category_theme=c1</a> I'm in the market for a laptop myself and personnally I think I'll opt for the 3880. If I didn't care about the GPU and wanted the best screen out there I'd probably get a SONY or a FUJITSU, their screens are incredible...still rumors say that if you put a nushield (www.nushield.com) on your matte screen you get pretty much the same glossy effect. I believe it when I try it for myself. Anyway, hope this helps. You can always browse through reviews on www.notebookforums.com if you need more info. Cheers!
