Sager Midern Computer, Inc., is an OEM computer manufacturer specializing in laptop computers. The company is generally publicly referred to as Sager Notebook Computer, as indicated by their website[1]. Sager, for short, is publicly recognizable for its high end gaming laptops. However, Sager offers a wide variety of services, including solutions for mobile gaming, video editing, and business applications[1]. In addition to selling physical hardware, Sager also offers complete support and repair services for all Clevo based Laptops. This service is offered even if the laptop was not ordered through Sager, although in that case the user must pay in full for all services provided. Although the company sells laptops via its own website, it also utilizes numerous resellers who sell the laptops with the Sager brand name.

[edit] History

Sager Midern Computer, Inc. was founded in 1985 by Shung Song Yuan[1]. The company was founded in City of Industry, California. Since its inception, Sager has remained at its office location in City of Industry. Although being physically located in California, Sager markets its products throughout all of the United States. During its time of operation, Sager has gained public recognition as the go to company for extreme high performance mobile computing[2].

[edit] Company Profile

Sager Notebook Computer, is only an online reseller, meaning it does not provide a physical store where consumers can make purchases; although it is possible to submit orders via fax and telephone[3]. In addition to direct ordering from Sager, it is possible to order Sager laptops from other vendors. Besides functioning as an online retailer, Sager also offers hardware diagraming and design plus technical training and support[4]. Sager currently employs approximately 50 workers in its office in CA. Sager's estimated annual sales are considered to be between 8 and 9 million U.S. dollars[5].

[edit] Role in the Distribution Process

While "A-brands" such as Dell, Toshiba, IBM or HP are manufactured on a contract basis where so-called Contract manufacturer assembles laptop computer as specified by the "A-brand", Sager has chosen the way of purchasing finished and generic chassis designed and built by ODMs, or Original Design Manufacturers. Sager then assembles the laptop with parts chosen by the final customer, puts its logo on the chassis and sells them under the brand Sager. Sager then provides support to these computers. Sager Midern Computer mainly uses Clevo chassis, which can also be found under Alienware, VoodooPC and Hypersonic brands. Sager also occasionally uses base chassis from Compal.
