Tom, Thanks for the kudos!
David, A few years ago I would have argued that Dell sold the best "Power for the Dollar" and had very good service and support to back it up. However, I have been less and less impressed with their offerings in general, and especially with mobile workstations as time has gone by...
I'm always watching other companies, and have been more and more impressed with Sager Notebook. Sager does laptops... only laptops... and has been specializing for years in high speed gaming laptops. In the past you could occasionally customize a high end model with a Quadro, or FirePro graphics card and call it a workstation but the options were typically limited... until now...
Recently Sager introduced its "Workstation" class models (NP9755, NP9775) Very impressive "Power for the Dollar"! I have not gotten my hands on one yet, but I'm thinking about an upgrade for those days when I'm "on-the-road", and I think Sager might be where my money goes...
Side Note: (This is not intended to bash BOXX in any way because from what I've seen they are a very good company and supply very nice hardware and support)
Last I knew... Like GC, BOXX does not produce their own Laptops either. Instead, they sub-contract Sager machines and put the BOXX logo and price tag on it. Check out the two web sites closely. (model for model, spec for spec, and overall Chassis design) You'll see what I mean.
Also, At one time GC was in negotiations with Sager to sub-contract and Brand a GC Mobile Workstation. (Like BOXX does) In the end I didn't believe it was cost effective and we would not be able to offer the "Power for Dollar" value that my customers expect from GC. So, I decided that we would stick to what we are good at...
Good Luck with your search.
