I never heard of Sager. All my life, I’ve owned Thinkpads (now Lenovo) or Toshibas.
I needed a new laptop last year and found similar backorder dates.
My niece attends the same college that I attended; she had just purchased a new computer at the college bookstore. I called them to ask if I could purchase there. They had plenty of models in stock, AND I paid the student price (about 30 percent off) because I’m an alumni. Who knew??
Sager makes some of the internals for several other manufacturers, but they also have their own line.
They’re branded as gaming laptops, so good if you game (Obviously), but also great if you run solidworks or other CAD programs, most engineering software.
The only bad thing is they don’t have any cheap options, the lowest tier is still $800+, but I’d at least buy something with a dedicated graphics card, unless all you do is email and web browsing, minesweeper and solitaire.
