Hey all! So I'm currently in the market for a second laptop. I already own a Lenovo Legion Y530 and it works well. However, I'm wanting something more powerful for my second machine. I was looking at the Origin EVO 16-S, but then I noticed that the Sager NP8966 NOTEBOOK uses the same Clevo chasis. The prices are ridiculously different, too. Base model price (at the time of writing): Sager: $1549 500gb SSd 16gb RAM (Dual Channel I think?) 144 hz 16.1" display Rtx 2060 9th gen i7 9750H Origin: $1824 240gb SSd 8gb RAM single Channel 144 hz 16.1" display Rtx 2060 9th gen it 9750H There is a pretty obvious Origin tax. Is there any reason on God's green earth that someone would pick Origin over Sager for that kind if a premium? (Customer service aside) I've owned a Sager laptop in the past and LOVED it. I'm fairly comfortable applying quality thermal paste and making sure everything on the inside of the laptop is plugged in properly (like WiFi cards, keyboard ribbons, etc) so that doesn't worry me. Also, I think it would be very interesting if LMG made a video on this topic in detail. I legit want to know if there's any value in paying a brand tax like this. Thanks!

Looks great to me! I am currently using the Logitech MX Master mouse, and the Airfox k20 bluetooth keyboard and Samsung earbuds that came with my phone...

I actually don't have a dedicated graphics card yet, I'm currently saving up for the Razer Core to connect to my Blade Stealth. It'd be nice if I only had to buy the core instead of the core with a graphics card! By the way you guys are awesome
