"Fantastic computer, fantastic support both before placing the order as well as afterwards. This is my second order in two months as I'm moving my business over from the larger, name brand competitor."

"I wasn't looking for a laptop that was too powerful, but I liked the idea of it having decent graphics capabilities and a reasonably powerful CPU. I did a lot of research and came across many gaming laptops which were appealing, but they were all too expensive. Then I found Malibal through nVidia's web site. I could customize the laptop so that it was exactly what I was looking for, and the price was better than I had seen anywhere else.

I have been looking hard for the reason for the lower price in the quality of the laptop, but I have yet to find a fault. The graphics performance is amazing and the sound quality is excellent. It is perhaps not the lightest laptop there is, and has a rather large power adapter, but that is easily overlooked when compared to the other features.

If you are looking for a powerful laptop, I highly recommend Malibal.

"I'm a frequent traveller who needed a laptop that looks professional enough to use in a conference room, powerful enough to run virtual servers, and fast enough for the latest games at high resolution.

I looked at dell, studio xps 16, xps 15. They were priced higher than the lotus and had a lower tier video card.. I passed on that.

Next I checked Asus. They had a similar laptop with a slightly slower gfx card, and it looked like something a kid would buy to impress his friends (led's, stripes, etc) and overall it looked cheap to me. The worst part was the low res screen, 1366x768. Not accetable..

Next a quick check of alienware.. Overpriced, not business looking.. next..

Then I started researching video cards on nvidias site and saw links to malibal. I checked the site, built a fast machine at a good price.

I called malibal explaining that I needed a laptop asap, and they shipped next day with extra ram per my request.

I received the laptop and was very pleased. The laptop looks great, the build quality is top notch, and it runs everything I can throw at it at the best quality settings.

I get a base 3dmark score around 9000 which is pretty great for a laptop thats portable, the high res screen is awesome.

I can run virtual machines and play games at the same time. I play Need for Speed, Age of Conan, Dead Space, Left4Dead and more, all at maximum resolution and highest quality and they play smoothly.

Between the great service, and the best laptop I've ever seen or owned, I'd highly recommend this laptop if you're looking for a professional looking gaming laptop, or even just a well built all purpose laptop that can do it all.

"In a word: Fantastic! The Nine from Malibal is a superb machine and worth every penny. I have had zero problems from my laptop hardware.

It was promptly assembled, shipped, and arrived within a few days of the actual transaction. It came ready to go in one box with plenty of protective material. With four fans, I was expecting it to be very loud, but even under heavy load it is never loud at all. Everything works exactly as it should, if not better. Fantastic.

I feel I should add that the customer support was wonderful. Mr. Thomas Carruth was seemingly always available and willing to answer any question I had. I am quite certain that I annoyed him with all of my questions, but he was always friendly and professional.

As a previous owner of Alienware, Dell and others, I highly recommend Malibal.

"I choose Malibal because of their available hardware options at a fair price, and their sales staff that let me choose what best suited me rather than push me into a sale that I didn't want. The quality of the hardware is on par with any of the first tier manufacturers, and the available new hardware options like DDR-3 system memory and high end DX-10 dedicated video cards set them apart from most other notebook manufacturers. Rather than selling a wide variety of acceptable computers, Malibal carries a few very good models and makes each one shine."

"I hadn't heard of Malibal before I started researching online for a gaming laptop. While I was researching the web trying to figure out what we needed for a gaming laptop, I went to cnet.com where I read user reviews on various systems (though Malibal was not among them). The reviews noted Sager and Clevo laptops as being better than Alienware or actually noting more for the money and more expansion capabilities.

I continued reading reviews from my google search when I came upon an article by Tim Childree on Ezine@rticles which had a link that led me to another article on the Malibal website. I’d never heard of the company and kept researching to compare the various laptops between Clevo, Sager and Alienware. I guess I was a bit apprehensive since I’d never heard of Malibal.

After my research I hit the Nvidia site in hopes of better understanding the graphics cards and found a list of companies that put together gaming laptops…Malibal was listed, so I went back to their site to include in my comparison. I may not have done that if Malibal wasn't listed there. I also found other user reviews noting how satisfied the users were with their customer service. Since I had lots of questions about configuring the system, I talked to my IT guy at work whose a big gamer and then contacted Malibal. I chatted with one of their customer service reps online and I was very pleased with the help and information I received. He helped me understand the options, the basics, the expansion capabilities. So I was able to order what we wanted now with the options to add on later. I then ordered the laptop that day. It was a Christmas gift for my 19 yr old son who recently joined the army and would be home for Christmas, so it was important to me to get it right and on time. I ordered it on 12/16 and Malibal made sure I got it in time to have it wrapped and under the tree by Christmas. The customer support was awesome. We made sure that the laptop I was ordering had everything for excellent gaming and expansion capable to make for a better system. My son was blown away when he got it Christmas morning. He originally asked for something from Alienware, but I think we got way more for the money with great customer service and support to back it up. The same person who helped me figure out the system I wanted followed all the way through on my order, making sure it got delivered on time and following up with emails to see how my son liked the system. I don't normally write reviews...got lots going on in life, but with all the great service and support, how could I not? If anyone ever asked me where to order their next gaming laptop, it would definitely be Malibal. I can't thank them enough.

"I ordered a laptop from a different online store about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately now it is out of warranty and my video card went out. I could not find a replacement anywhere from the original manufacturer to any other online stores. I knew that there are a few online merchants that sell their own brands of clevo laptops so i tried calling a few. Some refused to work with me since i did not buy from them originally, some did not have the cards or were too expensive. I was finally able to get a great deal on a great card at malibal, they were very helpful and i will definitely recommend them if you are looking for a laptop. this is also going to be my first stop when it's time to get a new laptop.

"I ordered a Satori notebook from Malibal at the very beginning of this year (2009). The notebook, so far, has been flawless. All communication with them (primarily email for me) was answered promptly. The gaming performance of the laptop itself has been very impressive.

Definitely a recommended seller.

"I have had the computer for two and a half months, and it has been great. The computer shipped in a timely fashion, and arrived in perfect condition. The company is great about responding to emails. This leads me to the only complaint that I had about the whole experience. The order status page gave no clear indication as to when the computer was going to ship. This resulted in me contacting the company to find out the build status, and also made it more difficult to arrange for someone to sign for the package. This was a small deal when compared to the fact that the computer arrived perfect, and exactly as I had ordered it. Thanks MALIBAL

"This Notebook is the best custom built laptop I've ever had and the customer service is second to none. I asked a lot of questions, of customer service, before I bought it and then even more while I was waiting for it to be built. They were quick to respond with a complete answer each and every time. I got the laptop and loved it, but it had a problem with the amount of time it took to load the setup and bios. They were very quick to get me an RMA. I sent it in on a Monday and by the following Tuesday they had it back to me repaired. That's eight days to complete the repair including shipping. Quality Notebook and excellent Customer Service. I can't ask for any more than that. I definitely recommend Malibal for you Notebook needs."
