LAPTOPS AND NAME BRANDS

I'm not try to sell this site, but I did buy my laptop from them, and I'm super satisfied. Hard to beat their prices too.

Here is a little fact that they mention. Well at least I think it's a fact.

That is a good company, I bought a Sager 5760C from them about 2.5 years ago.
Great after sale customer support as well... Helped with drivers and such after I received laptop.
Second motion about reputable company. :9

Here's another site with good ratings for laptop sales:

Mostly, there are about 10 major laptop manufactuers, or ODM's (Original Design Manufacturer) which sell their products to others for installing CPU, GFx, Memory, etc, and badge them with their own name.
The Sager 5760C I had, for instance was a Clevo which makes laps for: Alienware/Dell, Falcon Northwest, Hypersonic and VooDoo PC (HP)
While ASUS sells under their own name, they also make them for Sony, Apple, Alienware, HP and Compaq.
Here's a partial listing of main Laptop manufacturers:
Clevo, Compal, Asus, MSI, Quanta, Wistron, Mitac, Arima and Inventec
Where the first 4 are probably the best known as brands you buy under Dell, HP, Sony, Apple, etc.
When dealing with the manufacturer, you always save more $ than dealing with a re-seller, you just pay for their shipping costs and their service dept on top of orig. unit cost.

I don't believe that was always the case. Not sure what happened to the AMDs they had. Maybe they are coming out with something new soon?

They used to sell this one, but it's gone.
