"This is a copy of a rating I posted on their website. I wanted to share it elsewhere. "They deserve their good ratings. I would like to put in a plug for them here (and will in other places as well) because I want others in my circumstances to know that there IS a technical solution out there that is worth getting and that will add hugely to your quality of life. I got my extra-quiet computer from them quite some months ago, and wanted to do a serious test drive with all the programs I use (and would be using ON it) before submitting my review. Being a careful and cautious, thorough person, with a number of visual disabilities, I wanted to "get it right" with this computer. I asked a lot of questions of a lot of dealers, but when I wouldn't respond with promptness to their hustle, they dropped me or urged me to come by their shop for a harder sell. These folks answered every single question I had, very thoughtfully. They inquired as to my needs in detail, because I do need some "special features" due to being visually handicapped. I was impressed by their care and attention, and reassured as to their honesty and merited pride in their product. I had not been able to use my dictation system and other things I need for my visual disabilities on my previous computer, because the fan created extraneous noise that interfered with many things I needed to do. This extra-quiet and very powerful computer can handle all my handicapped and professional software, and is quiet enough not to interfere with voice commands. The latest version of Dragon Dictate on it is a dream come true. A freakin DREAM. For anyone who has struggled with this, I don't have to say more. This is the quiet computer you have been looking for. I had post-sales questions, which they were kind enough to answer personally and patiently. It came with all the information I needed to set it up, and worked out of the box. This sort of service died in 1950s Iowa, surely. Or so I thought. Just for a laugh - I took a photo on my cell, of the back of the PC, to a computer retail shop when I needed to get a certain connector for a second screen (this is their budget model, I got, now), and the shop guy's jaw dropped when he saw the photo on my cellphone. I looked at my own cellphone screen again just to check, a bit alarmed, when I saw the look on his face, because I wanted to make sure it wasn't something prurient that had made its way onto my cellphone (prank or something!?), such was the look on the shop guy's face! Seriously. Please, for any of you with visual handicaps struggling to find a system that will work with a lot of spoken commands or dictation (doctors or lawyers even), consider Puget's machines. Disbelieve me if you will. I'm just rocking out on my dream monster here until my next eye operation, much happier and more comfortable than I have ever been on my computer, and fighting my kids off for it. :)""
"This is my third computer that I have purchased from Pugetsystems, and let me tell you something. It is all about the service, period. The fact that this company uses quality parts is secondary. I looked at the web page, they came forward and asked if I needed help? What I wanted to do with the computer? I made some selections and ordered the computer. They contacted me and explained that what I wanted to build with the parts I chose would not be to my advantage and also would be a waste of money. They emailed me to let me know that the computer had passed all of it's inspections and tests and to let me know when it was being shipped. They called me to follow up with the computer I purchased to make sure it arrived ok and that I was satisfied with the final product. these guys and gals are the best. Pugetsystems make Dell and Gateway computers look like a bunch of Amateurs. Hands down the best computer company ever."
"I've found a new custom computer builder going forward. Puget was been incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful during the entire process, answered all my questions and sent me a truly excellent computer that I look forward to using for years to come. By far the best experience I've ever had with a custom PC builder."
"I wanted/needed a new computer after WinXP finally got kicked over the cliff. I had to move from XP to Win 8.1 - yikes what a transition AND get a new pc AND upgrade from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2013 so I was NOT looking forward to the challenge. I did NOT want another system - like all previous ones - that comes preloaded with all this stuff on it that I never use/understand/don't want - i.e. bloatware so I want a built-from-scratch system. Wanted a tiny footprint on my desk - so I Googled around and found Puget. I spent good money so I could get top-of-line. VERY HAPPY WITH IT. Can't say enough about the customer support provided by Puget! Besides that I am very pleased with my new pc, Puget was terrific to work with - ALWAYS answered the phone when I called after I rec'd my pc (I'm a non-technie so needed help to get things set up). They were patient, responsive and could speak in simple-speak in non-tech terms and with an accent I could actually understand (Unlike so many tech support lines these days). They told me things I DIDN'T need when I was selecting the system I wanted. They would follow-up along the way - with valuable input about my system choices - not sales-pitch - but valuable info to help me make an informed decision. I am soooo impressed with this company, their knowledge and their people skills!!"
"The entire process of configuring and buying a computer from Puget Systems was very easy. The staff was helpful at every step of the process, they answered my questions and made suggestions. When I received the finished laptop, all of the steps in the build process were documented, and each tech that worked on it was identified by name. I feel that they took ownership of the entire process. I would never hesitate to recommend Puget Systems to anyone."
"With this Traverse, its my third system from Puget Systems. And, like the two before it, the experience was top rate."
"High quality machines assembled and sold by highly qualified and caring staff. A real effort is made to provide the best machines and service possible."
"Customer Service helped very much when a piece of legacy equipment I added on was causing the computer to malfunction."
"Puget Systems representatives were very helpful with planning my order. They knew a lot about the hardware, helped me come to a decision, and didn't get in the way at all. I'm very satisfied overall."
"I ordered a custom desktop computer back in January and I've been extremely happy with it. The product is excellent, delivery was fast, and Puget Systems has continued to provide some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. I recommend them to everyone I know who's looking for a new computer, and I'm looking forward to buying from them again as I prepare to upgrade my hardware."
"From the first email I sent asking about purchasing a computer, to the follow up calls and emails after I received it, the customer service at Puget Systems was beyond excellent. I exchanged many emails over the period of several weeks trying to figure out what type of system to purchase. My questions were answered promptly, thoughtfully, and thoroughly. Not being a "computer person", I was quite intimidated by the thought of choosing components for a PC. The people at Puget very patiently helped configure something for me that fit my personal needs and budget. This was a big purchase for me and I feel confident I got the right system. I've been using it for a few weeks now and everything works great. I would highly recommend Puget to anyone who is in the market for a custom PC."
"I just picked up my new PC and I love it so far. Fantastic!"
"No issues of any kind with this order. Delivery was on-time, well-packaged, and works as expected."
"I was in the market to replace a business laptop (from HP) that was coming off lease, and my experience with HP made me look at alternatives when the term ended. I found Puget Systems on line and looked at their product line, and they had what I was looking for, a serious business laptop that could be made to my specs. I ordered on line and the service and communication were just great, such a difference from HP. When I had questions I received emails from Puget that were actually written by a human being who understood what I was asking about. They even have page you can go to and check the status of your order, and there are even pictures of your specific unit. I thought that was really terrific."
"Great experience overall. Was able to get exactly what I wanted, aided by the expert advice provided to me through an email conversation with Wilson Chau that considered my needs. He even suggested ways to cut costs on my original configuration. You won't get any of that with the big players who only push their 2 or 3 standard configurations.
Puget delivered the system very quickly, working around my schedule that included some time out of town shortly after my order was placed. The computer works flawlessly and is blazing fast. Also to note is they didn't put any bloatware on it like the big guys do. I couldn't be any happier and will never EVER again order from Dell! A little more expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. And lifetime support too!"
