MALIBAL Reviews

I recently bought a P150HM from MALIBAL and I must say that I am very impressed with their professionalism, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in buying a high end performance laptop. Their prices are the lowest on the web and their customer support is excellent, and I was able to get several discounts. I did find one glitch on their website and they were so appreciative for my honesty that they gave me another discount. Five out of five stars for this brand, I'm really happy with my new machine.

In my search for a new laptop I decided to give Malibal a call. I must say I agree with the above post as the rep I spoke with was very professional and had plenty of great knowledge about the systems Malibal offers. Got a full quote on a new system and will strongly consider going with the Malibal brand.

Only downside for me would be price. When calling other sellers (Dell and Asus specifically), the quoted price over the phone was lower then the website price each time. For Malibal the quoted price is the exact same as their online price for the same spec'd machine. For users wanting some live help choosing parts I would say call them for SURE. But if you already have an idea of what you are after, just use the site as there was no price difference.

Hope it's ok to piggyback on this thread.
I'm in the UK and looking for a Clevo reseller and heard many good things about Malibal, including the above. Does anyone have any international ordering experience with them?
The warranty options includes 'Serviced in the EU', does anyone know where in the EU?
Is it possible to get a UK keyboard and power adaptor?

Sorry didn't mean for that to turn into so many questions....

Thanks!

Oh I did. Ive been a member since 2004 but while I read a lot I don't post often. So their rep held that against me and I get no discount. A bit lame imo. Still, they do come highly recommended so I'm still looking at em.

My total came in around $1860.....if he'd have come down some..$1700 or $1750...Id have bought

MulliganUK, yes - we can get you a UK keyboard and power cord. And we can service your laptop in a few locations in the EU, including the U.K. and Germany.

KyleGates, Free Shipping is the current NBR discount... PM us if you would like the code.

Related question - I know officially if I import a PC I need to pay import VAT but does anyone know how likely it is that customs would notice it's a laptop and charge accordingly?

If MALIBAL has service in the EU, can't they also sell you a laptop then which doesn't have to pay +-20% taxes because its a product out of the EU?

Possibly, although for money I could save compared to UK prices I could also get on a plane to Vegas and pick it up myself! Cant see the wife letting me use that as an excuse mind
