Toke, if you really like this brand and you can afford the extra then go with your first choice. If you don't you will be kicking yourself later for not getting it.

I have a decked out m1730....Ive had it for about 10 months and all I can say is I am in love with dell's warranty. For me its ALL about the warranty and customer service and I can't say enough good things about dell

Of course when you buy an xps you get upgraded to their "gold" service.

Toke, the specs are awesome....as long as its well built and they have great service....go for it!

Sager is known for quality and craftmanship. XoticPC has fantastic customer service and they really take their time, which is a good thing when ordering anything custom. Also, I don't need to call over to India to get some help either..

Now the hardest part of all. The waiting.
