I just put in my order for my Sager NP8130.

Sager NP8130 Base Configuration + $1250.00
15.6" Full HD LED-Backlit Display - Matte Surface (1920x1080) + 0.00
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M GPU with 1.5GB GDDR5 Video Memory + 0.00
2nd Gen Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM Processor (6MB L3 Cache, 2.20GHz) + $160.00
8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 2 X 4GB + 0.00
750GB 7200rpm SATA 300 Hard Drive + $55.00
No Operating System + $0.00

Total including GST and shipping and discounts: CAD $1,508.25

I bought it from www.fortnax.com which is a guy in Calgary. I hope it's legit

In a few weeks when the Vertex 3 SSDs come out, I'll swap the 750GB HDD to storage in the ODD drive bay and it will be perfect.

That doesn't mean I don't recommend the ASUS G73 on sale @ MemEx. Technically, after GST and recycling fee, that computer is the same price ($1500) but you get a 17" screen, backlit keyboard, 1TB HDD, and Windows 7 so on paper, it's a better deal. I just wanted the Sager for the slimmer/small size in a 15" system and it has a matte screen which I need.
I think I'm going to get this one. This may sound like a stupid question, but it comes with a power adapter right? I could build a desktop for cheaper but having a laptop for the past 5+ years I love the mobility of them too much to give up.

On the Sager.com page, I get mine to $1459 then $50 for shipping (I chose the processor you did, but didn't upgrade HDD), why did you choose to go with fortnax over Sager themselves?
