2011 MacBook Pro v.s. Sager NP8170-S1?

Brian

Hey everybody, I need some help deciding what computer to get for school. I've been a Mac user all my life, but have recently found some shortcomings that have made me start to question whether or not I actually want my next computer to be another Mac. I'm headed off to college in the Fall, and am looking for a good laptop that will have good functionality. I want it to be great for multimedia, schoolwork, and gaming, as it will be my one device for all of these tasks. Here's the dilemma:
Currently, I have a Santa Rosa chip MacBook Pro from early 2007. Despite being to run Windows (for the most part) natively through BootCamp, the computer has never been fast enough, and has never had a strong enough videocard to run games on the settings I would like it to.

The new (2011) MacBook Pro's seem to have the same problem. Their ATI card is somewhat outdated, to say the least. It offers only 256mb of vram in the 15" and 17", which most definitely won't support games that I want to run on max settings. They also don't offer a 2.5GHz quad-i7, instead maxing out at a 2.3. Similarly, they don't offer 16 gigs of ram, only 8 (I suspect Apple plans to release 8 gig chips for their portables this summer, but can't currently produce enough to meet demand).

So, I've looked around and come across Sager as my best option for gaming. I don't want the 12lb. model, as the 8.6lb. model already seems to be on the heavy side (especially when compared to my current 5.4lb. computer). Fully configured, it offers 2 harddrives (I'd get a 120GB SATAIII in one slot and a 750GB 7200rpm drive in the other), 16 gigs of ram, a Blu-ray player/burner, and a 2gig Nvidia GTX 485m card, Nvidia's current top of the line mobile gpu. This will obviously be better for gaming.

My questions are as follows (directed primarily to owners/people who know owners of any Sager computers, and people who are aware/experienced with OSx86/Hackintosh):
-Does anybody here own a Sager NP8170-S1 (or any other Sager model)? Do you like it/would you recommend it? What are its strengths and weaknesses? What is its average battery life while browsing the web and just doing simple word processing?
-Would I be able to find the necessary drivers/would it be possible to install OSx86 (Hackintosh) on the machine? I would like the ability to dual boot like I currently can with my Mac. In a related question, how well does Hackintosh work? Can I connect wirelessly to networks? I'm pretty experienced and resourceful when it comes to installing custom firmware on various devices/hacking stuff/building servers, so I'm not worried about the difficulty level of the project--just want to know if it works in the end.

Please, for the love of all that may be holy, do not answer if your response contains anything related to the following:
-"mac suxxx, pc rulez, buy pc!"
-"pc is cheap crapz, buy mac lulpwnzar"
-"i haz no knowledge of computers. specs on one prettier than specs on other. go with prettier spec."

Answers like those will be disregarded. I'm not creating a forum for you guys to debate which os is better. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, be mature ffs.

Thank you so much in advance to any good answers! I'll do my part and give you your points for answering (the best response).

Answer
I'm going to save you a lot of trouble. If you can go without a back-light keyboard get a Sager. For one if you are really getting into multimedia it has the specs they will last you a good three to five years. Plus you could visualize/dual-boot to mac osx with vmware if you get the 2720. Also you could use the Adobe CS5 suite for most of your multimedia needs. I hear the new premiere pro does HD editing in real time and can even import final cut pro session files. There's very few people who have the laptop due to the intel 2nd generation i7 recalls but you could get a gist of the specs in the link below. A member by the name of Htwingnut or some sort also has a review somewhere in the forum. Sorry I would link it but I'm doing this on the go. Finally if you get the 485m you wont have to worry about games at all and you could pretty much get a 8gb ram sager 2720 processor with a 750 gb hard drive or cheaper than a macbook pro. Good luck mate!!
