I bought a "Nine Series" laptop from Malibal. Within minutes of ordering, someone from customer service contacted me via phone to confirm the order. The build was quick, and I received the order 8 business days later. I found that the computer I ordered had a Windows Experience Index Base Score of: 5.7! The computer I ordered is smoking fast and the customer service is exemplary. The unit's performance far exceeded my expectations!  
Edit: Had problems getting the integrated webcam to work, and throughout several correspondence emails with their Tech. Support Team, they were able to find the problem and send me a patch to solve the problem in no time! Webcam works fine now!  
 
*** PROS:  
- The unit is smoking fast!  
- I can play ANY 3D game on high settings without any delay/lag!  
- Nice, large (glossy!) 17" screen for the ultimate in gaming/movie watching!  
- Excellent customer service.  
- Lower prices than their competitors!  
 
*** Cons:  
- The unit was a little larger than a normal laptop (21 lbs.); it fits better in the category of a "desktop replacement" rather than a "laptop."  
- The power supply is also a bit large!  
- The 4 USB ports are all located on the far right (all in the same location). I would have prefered to have them spread out and along the back side of the unit (in addition to moving the ethernet port to the rear side as well)!
