Do not buy a Sager laptop or buy stuff from discountlaptops.com!!

Do not buy a Sager laptop or buy stuff from discountlaptops.com!!

I bought a Sager laptop from discountlaptops in May of '06 and it has been nothing but trouble. Shortly after purchasing, it repeatedly overheated and then shut down completely and I had to send it back for repair. Then a couple of months after that, the hard drive became corrupted and i spent several days trying to fix it. Other problems have included white spots appearing on the screen and two of the fans not working, as well as other minor problems.

Now, this last week, I have had problems booting up - the clock won't come on, the disc drive won't work and the sound is ****ed. It also has problems shutting down and restarting. If I use a pin in the hole of the disc drive door to manually eject, then it will start up fine, but when I next boot up the problems will start again... I figured it was a drive problem, so I updated it, uninstalled, completely removed it, but still the problem persists.

So I figured that was the last straw - I want a new laptop - but my Sager warranty has ended. Not to worry, I bought a $200 two year extended warranty from discountlaptops... here's where it gets really good.

discountlaptops sell their warranties through a third party seller - ATS warranties - who have now gone bankrupt. Not only that, discountlaptops has been bought by a new company, so they are not legally obligated to honour my warranty!

So basically I spent $200 on a warranty that isn't worth shit!

so...if you are thinking of buying a laptop from Sager or discountlaptops.....DON'T!!!
