"I received my powerpro 15:3 a few days ago and so far it has been excellent. The material used for the notebook seems very nice and the full keyboard is hard to find on a notebook anywhere else. My notebook booted up with no problem at all, eventhough I did not purchase an operating system.
The 24/7 support staff is very responsive, and helped me with all the questions I had regarding my OS installation (my advise, purchase an OS along with the notebook to save you some hassle). The sales staff answered my emails promptly regarding any questions I had. I would recommend this company.
Only con I can say is the fact I received my laptop 2 months after my order (i paid the day after i ordered online). The reason was that the notebook screen had to be shipped from another country. At least they stayed honest with me the entire ordeal and I don't regret the wait time, but it could've been better, a little unlucky timing on my part.
edit: It has been 2 months since I received my laptop and I want to chime in with some further reviews.
After 2 months of usuage, the notebook is still in good shape. I carry the notebook to work and school everyday and no problem yet.
PROS: very powerful and well put together machine. I opened up the case in order to install new memories and everything good well placed. Tech support is excellent, one time I called at 3am in the morning and they helped me out right away.
CONS: I am just nitpicking here. The black matte finish tend to collect and show a lot of dust. The keys sometimes will feel "stuck" while you type. It does get very hot and with the fan blowing to the side, if you are using a mouse, your hand will get very hot and sometimes uncomfortable. Lastly, the 6cell battery I have only last around 1 hour to 1hr 15min. "
"They were very helpful in getting an order expedited during their busy season - and when I could not wait because of an overseas trip. Delivery was earlier than they predicted and there were no frustrations or disappointments."
"Excellent customer service. There were some delays on the supply side and they made sure to constantly update me via email, phone, and promptly answer and questions. Great prices too."
"This is my second purchase from this company. As with the first purchase 4 years ago, I was very satisfied with service and product received. Frequent email contacts from company throughout purchase process let me know exactly where things were. Website is well laid out and made configuring my purchase simple. All products arrived on time as specified by emails and were in good condition upon arrival. Laptop worked as advertised at power up. If you want a good value in a quality laptop, this is a great place to shop. "
"Fantastic company! Called to confirm my order and explained clearly why the order was going to be delayed (parts out of stock). Even with that I had my laptop in perfect condition within 3 weeks. Would definitely buy from them again and I highly recommend them. "
"I have never had such a good experience with a computer merchant before. They called to let me know they recieved my order, but it will delayed and if that is acceptable. They emailed me to tell me they are working on my order. They assigned one person to track my order and keep me up to date. They emailed me with updates, to find out how my laptop works, to remind me where to call if I need tech support. I called for tech support and they answered the question right off the bat. No bs like...did you turn on the computer? They speak english. I also like that their business hours are 8:30am to 8:30pm, regardless of the which cost you call from. I have owned three other laptops and I wish I had found these people first, although my Sony was fantastic, but they just do not make them in the specs that I need. My sager laptop works great and is extremely well made. I thought buying from a department store made a difference, but alas they send their computers out for service. So i figured I would just cut the middle man out. So far, so good. Thank you. "
"Great product at a great price.
Have recommended them to friends, and would not hesitate to do business with them again.
The kicker is that their service is second to none, which is extremely rare in a merchant offering such low prices."
"PowerNotebooks.com is professional and very friendly. It is no wonder that they have a near-perfect record.
I was looking for a desktop-replacement/gaming laptop. There aren't much choices of stores or (good) variety of computers to buy in Hawaii. As I was doing research, I stumbled on a post in a forum that recommended Sager over other brand-names. I looked up online sites that sold Sagers, and I found PowerNotebooks.com.
At first, I was skeptical of a small website that sold computers that had names I never heard of. A few hours after I sent my order, Donald called my (noisy) house to confirm my order. It was ~7:30PM on my clock, so it must have been 10:30PM where he was! Now that is some respectable dedication.
A few days later, Charlotte called me to clarify the institution of the credit card used. She had warned me that there was a backlog of orders, but she was thoughtful of noting I would start school in a few weeks. If I did not receive any updates by the following Thursday, Charlotte asked me to contact them back. To my joy and surprise, the order came to my door that next Thursday.
Though my friends may not be inclined to purchase a powerful gaming laptop, I've told them where to go to if they are interested. By the time the 3-year warranty expires, I'll be hoping PowerNotebooks.com will still be in business, so I can purchase another high-end laptop."
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful and that would be my one word to describe this company and product received."
"Thanks to my Sales Advisor, Tim, and the information on the PowerNotebooks Website, I am 100% confident that I have made the best possible computer purchase for my need. I have never been so thoroughly DELIGHTED in purchasing a computer! The quality of service and product makes PowerNotebooks a top-ranking seller in my book! Thank you, PowerNotebooks, and especially Tim!"
"I have never experienced better customer service, they are very polite and extremely prompt. They even answered their phone after hours "just because". Employees make you feel like you are the most important customer they have. I have nothing negative to say about them.
Will come back in the future before going to anyone else. "
"The amount of attention and support that PowerNotebooks gives to its customers is amazing and completely unparalleled in the business. Two of their employees helped me feel confident that I was choosing the right computer and then bent over backwards to get it shipped to me on time for college. Easily the most painless (and cost-effective) purchase I've made for a PC, and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
"I ordered a Crown notebook to serve as my primary computer during graduate school. There was some delay in getting the computer due to backorders and things but the company kept me informed of the progress and the delay was only about 3 weeks or so. I'm quite pleased with the computer, everything is working fine and I'm sure it will meet all my needs during school."
"I ordered the Sager NP5796 from Powernotebooks.com and I must say that they have definitely gained a customer for life. They were very knowledgable with the product they were selling and was also very patient as I bombarded them with questions. They definitely value all of their customers and respect all their questions. They were with me every step of the way, from the ordering, to the shipping, and also asked me how the laptop was after i received it! Their customer support was also amazing, they didnt leave me with any half-answered questions and helped me resolve all my issues very quickly and efficiently (one of my RAM sticks was defected), they immediately contacted Sager and had them ship me a new stick of RAM. Great Service, Great Company, Very Satisfied. WooT WooT."
"Just bought one of the new Sager NP5796 laptops from powernotebooks.com, and I'm tremendously impressed. Great customer service, very pleasant and knowledgeable salespeople, and the computer is flawless. Fantastic pricing, as well.
I'll never buy from a mainstream reseller again!
Update 07/2009 Bought a new Sager NP8662, and again, Powernotebooks.com was superb. Great service and pricing. Fabulous computer."
