MALIBAL Reviews

[MALIBAL]

Hi, I'm glad we could help out!

[Rachid]

I'm looking to buy my first gaming laptop. Really happy that Malibal has so many positive reviews. In terms of computers this would be by far my most expansive purchase so it goes a long way to ease my paranoid mind .
Living on the other side of the world(belgium) also doesn't help. Will look around some more and decide soon.

Cheers

Hi, please let us know if you have any questions!

About the dead-pixel thing...Is there any way we can assure that my screen will have NO dead pixel? It's traveling a long distance and shipping it back because of some dead pixels wont be that cool

I would like to ask the same question!
(I'm in Europe and although there are similar companies in Europe, maybe I'll choose Malibal to buy a new laptop )

Malibal does have a dead pixel guarantee for $75 if you request it. Some don't like it, but personally, I do. Anything can happen in shipping so that extra guarantee covering shipping both ways in case of dead pixels is worth it imo.

$75 bucks are not worth it IMHO...First, I can't pay them, and secondly, it would be bad to receive a screen with some dead pixels since I will have to ship it back for RMA...when we can assure the customer there will be no dead pixel in the first place :P

Anyways, I'm eagerly expecting my new 8130!

I don't think it's that they can assure that you receive your laptop with zero dead pixels. If they could, I'm sure they would do so to maintain a great positive image to all customers they ship to. I think that the $75 you spend on the guarantee is actually some kind of warranty on the purchase itself and is more or less like a small insurance policy. Having been in the car business for many years, we used to offer our customers a paint protection product. In some ways, alot of customers thought it meant we actually applied a special coating to the paint in order for it to resist flaking or fading, but in all honesty it was just a warranty purchase that covered the paint for a year from the date of purchase. So in other words, this may be similar, and offer both the reseller and the customer a way to RMA screens otherwise that would not be covered under the standard warranty of the laptop. Personally, I didn't go with the Zero Pixel guarantee, as I think such warranties are more profitable on the reseller side as opposed to the customer. On a screen with such high resolution as it is, one or two dead pixels would be hardly noticable, unless you perform a serious in depth inspection of the screen anyway.

I may be wrong in my assumption, so don't take this as an answer to your question, just some speculation on my part.

I'm almost on the OCD side of screens lol...cuz I check continually for those pixels. My friend just bought a malibal 8130 recently, and I checked it completely and found 2 stuck pixels and maybe 1 dead...so we ran some software to unstuck them...it worked but I dont want mine to have dead pixels...

Hi there. I have been reading notebookreview for a few months in anticipation of purchasing a new laptop. I am pretty set on Malibal over XoticPC, but I wanted to see what discounts are available for me before purchasing. I have a few questions as well. First, I am having a hard time finding information regarding the wireless device. Is the default device sufficient for standard use in hotels, airports, and university campuses? Secondly, how important is the thermal paste upgrade and a cooling pad? I would primarily use the laptop on a solid desk; I do not enjoy using laptops on my lap (irony?). Thirdly, what exactly is the dead pixel policy for Malibal?

Thanks for your time.
