I did research on the net for a week before I contacted Powernotebooks.com. This was a major purchase for me and I wanted to find someone who would work with me, not pressure me, explain things and not try to sell me things I didn't need. Donald at Powernotebooks.com is that guy. When I told him I was interested in a Sager 9280 he asked me where I wanted to use it. I told him at home and in the car, as I need a computer in the car for my business. He recommended the 8662 because of the wattage draw of the 9280. How many times do you see a salesman try to "sell down". This lowered the price and that sold me on the company right there. I bought the 8662 with the new P9700 processor and I could not be more pleased. These guys look after their customers, have the lowest prices and give good advice. I kept waiting for the negative side to show but everything stayed positive. I will be back (hopefully not soon).

This was my first time utilizing Power Notebooks services and finding a word to describe my satisfaction with their work is borderline impossible. The Customer service is absolutely second to none. Friendly, courteous, and reliable are understatements. There is no doubt in my mind that my next laptop will be ordered through them. Amazing work Power Notebooks, and thank you again for your assistance and service.

Powernotebooks provided the absolute best online service I have ever had. 10 out of 10.

I recently purchased the Sager NP9280 from PowerNotebooks. The staff were very curteous and very helpful in making the transaction possible given the difficulty of verifying your identity when deployed to Afghanistan.  
They stayed in touch with me during the build and shipment of the notebook and answered any questions I had.  
The notebook itself is amazing with a 17" screen, 3 HDDs, Nvidia GTX 280 GPU.. Runs all my games on highest settings with no drop in performance noticeable. The price is great for a gaming computer considering what toshiba and alienware think theirs are worth, which is alot more $$$ for alot less.  
I definitly suggest this company for anyone who needs a powerful, semi-mobile :P, affordable gaming notebook.

PowerNotebooks offers it all: a wide variety of laptops to choose from based on your needs whether it's power for gaming or less demanding applications, competitive pricing, solid build quality, and of course, fantastic customer service. My latest order shipped exactly when I was notified it would, and I am very satisfied with it (Sager 5797). I have been a PowerNotebooks customer since 2006, and as long as they keep doing business the way they are doing, my next laptop will be shipping from PowerNotebooks as well.

I ordered a Sager np5797 laptop from PowerNotebooks.com and I am very pleased with their customer service. I originally ordered the laptop with a 2.66GHz core 2 duo and the next day I was emailed back by PowerNotebooks and they said a new 2.8GHz processor was coming out in a month and asked if I would like to wait and upgrade to the 2.8GHz for no extra cost. I didn't need the laptop right away so I waited. After they received the new processors they shipped the computer UPS on Wednesday and I received the computer in Alaska on Friday, 2 days later, impressive.  
The only problem I had with PowerNotebooks is that it cost me a little extra to ship to Alaska. After I ordered PowerNotebooks called me up and told me it was going to cost more to ship to Alaska, which was nice of them, but it would be better if they had a price option for Alaskans on their website so that there are no surprises. This wasn't a big deal though. I half expected the shipping to cost more because the same thing happened to my brother when he ordered his laptop a few months earlier.  
I highly recommend PowerNotebooks if you are looking to buy a new laptop. They have the most up to date hardware at very competitive prices. I will certainly buy from them again in the future.  

Powernotebooks is absolutely the best company in the world. This is my second laptop from them I couldn't be happier. I ordered the Sager 9280 and absolutely love it!!!. Thier customer service is top notch and can't be beaten. I have to say that Powernotebooks is the only company that I feel completely at ease with in paying thousands of dollars for a product and know I'm getting my money's worth. I will never go back to any other company for my gaming needs (take that alienware/Dell) Powernotebooks has a customer for life!!!!!

I have had a great experience so far with powernotebooks.com - I knew the computer I wanted to buy (a Sager NP8662), but was having trouble deciding which of the many resellers I should use. I selected powernotebooks.com after reading a number of positive reviews about their good customer service, and haven't regretted it since. Donald, the owner, spent at least an hour on the phone with my dad going over different options, and kept in constant contact with us throughout the ordering process. It turns out that Sager decided to discontinue the processor I ordered and replace it with a better one, and made this decision about two days after I ordered my computer - Donald emailed me and asked if I would like to wait a week and have the better processor in my computer for free. It came on time and with all the drivers already installed, and Donald even emailed later the same day to make sure it had arrived in good condition! Top notch customer service and a thus-far sturdy and reliable product.

PowerNotebooks.com was excellent across the board. The buying experience and product are excellent. Any tech support you need is available 24/7. This is an all around great company.

Powernotebooks was tremendous! I called to ask about the turnaround time for orders, and they connected me with an "associate." I thought I would get high pressure sales, but it turns out they connected me with Donald, the owner. He answered all of my questions and even directed me to a less expensive model with a better warranty. Although I went with a different machine, his candor and advice were a great help. They accommodated my need for the product to be ready before a business trip without any hiccups. In fact, I was surprised that the laptop arrived a full week prior to when I needed it. They called to confirm the order before processing. I wasn't afraid to purchase from them online, but the added security was nice.  
The only hiccup was with a few Sager drivers, but that has nothing to do with powernotebooks. The drivers all worked fine. The XP install required a bit of tweaking, but nothing that took more than one phone call to Sager, the provided bootable CD, and 2 minutes. Overall, the service and product have proven better than expected.  

Flat out best customer service ever. Not enough can be said about Powernotebook's staff and professionalism. Not only is their staff great but my Sager 5797 is awesome too. I ordered my 5797 April 21 and received it on time, as expected on, May 14. My representative was Donald and he is quite the helper. There was one case in particular I was concerned about something and he corresponded with me by email well after 1 am. Never have had better service. Please do not buy anywhere else except PowerNoteBooks.com.

Initially I was a bit reluctant to order a notebook from a website that's not Dell, HP, Newegg, or some well-known giant. But after doing a bit of research about this company on resellerratings and notebookreview, among others, and finding out about their outstanding track record, I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did.  
 
I ordered a Sager NP8662 gaming laptop, and from confirmation to delivery, it took about 3 weeks. The support staff, namely Donald Stratton, was very knowledgeable and more than willing to answer my endless inquiries. I paid via wire transfer (although they accept credit cards too), and it went off without a hitch. Yes, I was a little apprehensive about plopping down the cash before the goods arrive, but the company made it bearable with regular email updates (on receipt of funds, shipping date, tracking info) and generally keeping me in the loop.  
 
And I couldn't be more happy with the product. The build quality and performance of this laptop far surpasses any others I've used in the past. Put simply, it's fast, stylish, cooling-efficient, and built to last. One could tell the care that went in from production to packaging even down to the plastic films that were to taped to the palmrest, lid and screen panels. And last but not least - NO BLOATWARE!!!  
 
This has been a pleasant experience and I would certainly look to buy from powernotebooks again.

I had been shopping around for another laptop computer and heard about Power Notebooks on a radio program. So I went to their website and found it to be full of very helpful information that made the buying process a lot easier. Then I called and talked to a sales person that was very intuitive and knowledgeable and I was able to not only get a computer I am very happy with, but was told of several other options that would insure that I will be satisfied for years to come. Power Notebooks has a great staff and excellent technical support that has exceeded all my expectations. I have become a customer for life.

The guys at powernotebooks.com are great. I was able to talk with Donald Stratton and he actually saved me money on something I did not need, Vista Ultimate! He went through the differences between Premium 64bit and Ultimate 64bit and realized that I did not need to spend the money. That is true evidence of "customer first" attitude. Thanks guys!

received my Sager NP5797 notebook 2 days ago. I'm in love! This is one great notebook. Very fast and very cool. Heat is the enemy of computers and especially laptops. This one had a 3DMarks06 score near 11,000 and runs very cool. That's amazing and such a good looking screen too! Many years of joy ahead!
