Is this a Sager rebrand?

Q

Did not know what you meant by a Sager rebrand until I did a little
searching. My Alienware is the first generation Area 51m which looks
extremely similar to the Sager 5690. So for anyone out there looking
to buy a laptop DO NOT BUY ALIENWARE, their tech support and customer
service are no good. After looking at the Sager 5690 I realize that I
spent alot of money on a name and not quality equipment.

Sager makes some of the best, high performance laptops available. As for
using refurbed parts to fix your new laptop... all the big names do it...
none of them use news parts, unless there are no refurbs available.
