Their prices are good, generally better than what the laptop people are charging for cruddy old machines with 1/10th the capability on the "for sale" groups on usenet. Their screen resoloution isn't very good. NEC (and a few others now) have 800x600. Sager actually promised me 1024x768 at one time; I'm still waiting for anyone (besides Tadpole, who what $5000 for the display along) to support a usable screen resoloution on a laptop. Personally, resoloution is the reason I still don't own a laptop, even though I *really* want one.
