This article was written to answer many of the most frequently asked questions on this Sager Notebook. I hope you find all of this information helpful. The Sager is one of the upcoming players in the notebook market. Sager Notebook have not make its presence felt in a big way. Sager is not exactly a wide brand yet. One of the most famous Sager notebook model is the Sager 4250 Notebook. Sager 4250 comes with a configuration of PIII 1.2 GHz, 1 GB PC133 SDRAM, 40 GB HDD, 8-8-8-24 DVD/CDRW combo, 64MB video (ATI M6P) and 15 SXGA+ (1400x1050) screen at that instant around 2210 US$ with transport but without any operating system. The notebook Sager was initially designed for a 14 screen and the 15 screen was introduced later and as a result the top/screen part is a little larger than the bottom/keyboard part; also the semitransparent keyboard together with the uncommon colors for the "palm rest" might not be very lovable to corporate users but overall the notebook is not looking bad at all! The build quality is satisfactory and the notebook could have really been planned very solid if it wasnt for the extra-large top. The notebook might look a little heavy but its actually lighter than the standard 15 notebooks (like the Presario 2700 or the Inspiron 8xxx) and any extra weight is "repaid" by what is simply an astonishing battery life it can smoothly last over 4:00 4:30 hours in "normal use" and over 3:30 hours in DVD playback. The recharging time of about 3-4 hours is also within the prescribed limits. All the inside components are quite good the optical unit is a Toshiba SD-R2102 (which can be made "region free" with the right firmware patch :) and the HDD is a Toshiba MK4018GAP, the chipset is the latest PIII Intel mobile version and the CPU is a mobile Intel PIII-M 1.2 GHz. The keyboard is good for a notebook, the Synaptics touchpad is now quite standard on most notebooks and the 15 1400x1050 screen is also good. The notebook comes with a proper manual and a few CDs with drivers and a "free software pack. The bottom line for the moment is quite satisfactory the Sager 4250 seems a good compromise of performance and cost with a suitable build quality - but that will probably be better tested over a long period of time - the distinction from a decent to a very good build quality is generally visible only after more than one year of heavy use! The Sager is a good notebook if you have a chance to use it, give it a try and share your opinions on what is the difference with the other models, what you like and what dont. |
