"I am quite pleased with the service and quick response I received from PowerNotebooks.com.
To me, a critical measure of the quality of a vendor is when not everything goes exactly right. In my case, the 12vDC power adapter had not been packed by the factory with the Sager laptop I ordered. Upon notification, Donald Stratton of PowerNotebooks expedited its shipment to me. Service provided by PowerNotebooks was far superior to that we have come to expect from most vendors."
"I ordered a Sager NP8882 SUPRA on 06-09-03.
I recieved the machine Thursday (06-19-03). It worked great right out of the box. I installed software Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have it exactly the way I want it. This is a very nice machine --- ALL that I expected.
It has been a real pleasure dealing with PowerNotebooks.com and I will be happy to recommend you when the opportunity arises.
Every Internet purchase should be this pleasant.
Mike"
"I purchased the Sager NP8887S. I found about PowerNotebooks.com when searching for information on the Alienware laptops. I started checking out the site and resellerratings.com. I also noticed the high ebay rating which made it a lot easier to purchase from powernotebooks. I have received my laptop and I'm very happy with it. The display is wonderful and the speed and options are amazing. This machine is great for both gaming and app development; I would recommend it to anyone."
"I am very satisfied with the Sager NP6160-C notebook computer that I recently purchased from Powernotebooks.com. The customizing options that they offered on their website allowed me to choose the exact specifications that I wanted. The price was great too. I looked at the same computer on another site and it was much more expensive. I ordered the computer at 12:30 at night and they said they would email me within 24 hours...I got a personal email by 1:00. Every question I had was answered in my inbox before I asked it. I am proud to support a christian company such as this and will be happy to recomend them to anyone."
"Solid products, great pricing (very competitive)and best of all.....extremely attentive service. If they say it ships Tuesday, don't be surprised if it leaves Monday afternoon.
I own a computer store, and PowerNotebooks is the only place I buy mobile units from."
"This is the second Sager laptop I have purchased from Powernotebooks.com in 2 years. The sales representative (Donald Stratton) did an excellent job on both occasions of selling me only what I needed (for my wife and then for myself). Over the 2 purchases I am sure he saved me more than $1200. The performance on both machines has been excellent. Both did not arrive with loads of unneccessary programs cluttering the system. Setup has been minimal.
I recommend Powernotebooks.com Sager laptop computers and Donald Stratton as a representative to anybody seeking a laptop. In my case my wife and I have replaced both our desktop sytems with new Sager laptops and have been extremely pleased with the units' performance and durability.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate Sager, PowerNotebooks.com and Donald Stratton a 9 (only because nothing is perfect)."
"9 Month Review--the system I purchased has been operating flawlessly. There hasn't been a single problem with it and don't regret the purchase at all. If you are looking for a laptop, you'd be a fool to go anywhere else.
I have been going to the powernotebooks.com site and spec’ing out a system for over nine months and finally made the big move a week ago and ordered a Sager NP6160 ULTRA. I emailed Don Stratton when I first started looking and told him I was only “browsing around” and he emailed back within a few hours answering my questions without any pressure to buy.
My only apprehension with buying from powernotebooks was the way they take payment. My financial advisor (wife) wasn’t too keen on sending money though paypal or the other options to pay for the system. I have to admit, I was gun-shy as well. However, let’s think about it, how many companies actually give you the option to save the 2 ½% the credit card companies automatically charged the business for using their system? I don’t know of any. Do you? You see, credit card companies charge ALL businesses 2 ½% just for the service they provide to the business. Therefore, all prices are jacked up the 2 ½% to make up for the service fee whether you use a credit card or not. You don’t think the businesses will take it in the shorts for your business do you? Of course not. Wherever you buy, no matter where you buy, you are paying that service fee. I believe it speaks highly of powernotebooks to give you the option. That said, I would recommend talking to your sales rep to find out which option is best for you. Read their payment options page http://www.powernotebooks.com/payment.php3 and consider all avenues. I went though paypal which ended up adding three or four days for the money to clear. Most banks easily allow wire transfer through their internet banking system. Also of note here is how Sheri kept me abreast of everything in my payment process.
My system arrived on the day it was promised. It was double-boxed and very well packed. The system is as tight as a drum. The pictures don’t do it justice. I’ve bought a new Dell and Gateway laptops and I have to say the Sager is every bit as solid as they were. The setup was easy and didn’t have a single problem. I couldn’t say the same about Dell or Gateway. At work, we just received new IBM T-Series Thinkpads and couldn’t believe how poorly packed they were. Of the eight we received, none of their DVDs came working so we have to go though the warranty baloney right from the start.
The screen is crystal clear and sharp as a tack. The keys are nicely placed and have great feel. It's got everything I needed in a desktop replacement while being at the price of an economy laptop.
Long story short (too late), you won’t be disappointed if you buy from powernotebooks. They are an upstanding company with integrity and professionalism. They even remember something Dell, Gateway, and IBM have seemingly forgotten…the customer is king. Good day."
"very helpful. Quick to respond, everything you need in a computer"
"Awesome service great communication, superior product.
I would purchase from PowerNotebooks.com in a heartbeat"
"PowernoteBooks.com has a web site that allows you to get a detailled view at the specification of their products. Their "Custom build your laptop" makes it very easy to create your dream machine. After submitting a specification via their website I was able to quickly speak with one of their sales representatives which was resourceful in answering my questions and get back to me after some further research on some features I was interested in. They really make it easy for you to buy and get your new equipment. A week later I have it in my hands. Very satisfying customer experience. "Bravo" to their team."
"I just got my PowerPro IV:28-C laptop. I am ecstatic.
I've bought a lot of tech stuff off the web over the years and I have to say that this has been the most satisfying transaction I've experienced.
I'm a pretty serious tech geek--I supported both bankers and traders for a major NY investment bank for 3 years (thank heavens that's over, hehe).
These guys do it right. They realize they are in a commodity business, and the only way to differentiate themselves from the competition is to provide not only a fine product, but to give superlative customer service.
I initially put the order in using the web-based "laptop builder" utility, then changed my mind and beefed up the screen size and graphics after speakig with Donald.
Although these guys seem to be marketing to the "desktop replacement" crowd, I wanted to keep mine just over 5 pounds but still a monster.
I initially put the order in using the web-based "laptop builder" utility, then changed my mind and beefed up the screen size and graphics card, nixed the Celeron and went with a Northwood P4 2.4 (power consumption was actually less for the P4). Changing the order was no problem. Donald called me back 5 minutes after my e-mail to them on Monday morning and took time to explain the benefits and drawbacks of the available options. It was so nice not to have some ignorant telemarketer trying to upsell me fluff.
All in, I paid $1,800 for something I could only find elsewhere for over $2,500.
Communications were exemplary, Donald, Shari and CJ were really on the ball.
The packaging was excellent and I got it UPS in 2 days instead of 3. Everything works perfectly, and I was especially pleased with the performance of the built in Wi-Fi. I really like the fact that the box isn't a proprietary build like a Dell, HP or IBM, etc. No dumb icons that you would never use cluttering up and your workspace and bloating your registry with crap.
I thought from the jpegs on the website that the unit might look a little "cheesy" but I was wrong. The design is elegant, functional and sturdy. I've bonded with this toy instantly.
Kudos to all of you at powernotebooks.com!"
"got a nice system at a nice price from nice people. it was an added bonus that i could choose not to have an os installed."
"I purchased the Sagar 8887 after looking at the Dell Inspirion 8500 and found that the features vs price ratio was better. I will be using it for Software Developement/HardCore Gaming/Internet
I am very satisfied with the machine."
"Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and I think it will take care of my needs for quite some time. Service has been excellent - my questions get answered in a timely manner, either through email or the phone. Phone support has been excellent - no waiting!!!"
"Great way to order a computer. Powerful unit. Have had to use tech support but so far they have been helpful.
Great Deal
