The two laptops I am look at are approximately within the same price range. The first is the Origin Evo-15s which is $2199. The second one I am look at is the Sager 8268 with $800's in upgrades totaling it to $2149. I feel as the specs on the Sager are better but it would be a custom ordered machine. That would entail more risks. I like Origin laptop because it has more style portability. Which is better? Below is the link for the Origin and Sager with specs. I need a laptop for gaming and graphics so the most bang for my buck is what I'm looking for.
