www.powernotebooks.com doesn't appear to have that
OEM/rebranding/whatever text on their site any more -- though my point
was that whether Quantas builts it per Compaq specs or their own a
person buying the notebook would get the identical quality regardless of
the nameplate ... and likely save since they wouldn't be paying for the
Compaq nameplate, advertising, corporate overhead, etc.

I just noticed that they are selling Toshiba now, in addition to Sager
and their house brand.
