Three large ($3,000) on a laptop, huh? Is it really worth it? Well if you are a spendy person and enjoy lots of features, then you bet! Most certainly out of my price range, the Sager brand is looking to be quite impressive.

Now the million dollar question? Would I buy it if I had the funds? Yup, in a stone cold second. Outfitted with a 17 inch screen, Intel Pentium® 4 Processor / 800MHz FSB, ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Graphics with 256MB DDR SDRAM and 400MHz Dual Channel DDR Memory - this is most definitely one screaming machine!

Laptops and mobile computing are nothing new. Portable computing power has been around since the inception of personal computers; of course the actual portability of some of the originals is highly debatable. Since that time, portable computers have grown smaller and their functionality and power has increased. Today, many laptop models rival the power of desktops and these models are aptly titled desktop replacements. The market for desktop replacements is growing as people begin to realize that they can now have all the computing power and functionality of a full desktop in the portable form factor of its smaller brother, the laptop.

Today Techware Labs takes a look at a desktop replacement unit from Discount Laptops. Several companies market “desktop replacement” models, but what makes this unit different is its brand and what that brand carries with it. Discount Laptops was kind enough to send us their top of the line Sager 8790. For those unfamiliar with Sager laptops, you have only to read in some notebook and laptop related forums to see that Sager’s are regarded as the very best–and for good reason. Sager laptops are outfitted with the latest in technology, constructed to be durable, and perform as well or better than the desktops they replace. Additionally, Sager laptops arrive in a sleek stylish casing.
