"Their customer service leaves much to be desired but I've had this laptop for almost 2 years, and it still works well. Overall I would no doubt buy from M-Tech in the future."

"My M-Tech revised D9F is one screaming awesome machine. Even though I'm utilizing a single second tier NVidia GTX-470M GPU card vs the latest generation GTX-500 series it is blazing fast handling the intensive graphic processing required by my favorite Total War games from Creative Assembly including the just released Shogun 2.

Ironically, on the Shogun 2 web site, quite a few home built desktops with the latest generation GTX-500 series GPU cards are experiencing issues that this laptop doesn't. I've even had comments regarding there isn't a laptop made that can process the latest graphic intensive games... WRONG... This laptop performance wise chews up desktops like so much confetti.

If you're looking for a laptop that can hold its own against desktops... look no further... but you're going to have to pay a little more for it. You get what you pay for."

"I have had issue after issue with my laptop. I am a software developer so I am not new to computers. I chose this machine for development needs and it fell way short. My dedicated work machine (IBM laptop) has close to the same hadware configuration. Same OS and it the most stable machine I have ever had. The M9800 has had issue after issue and has been sent back from repairs 3 times and needs repair again. The M-Tech team, Jerry, is once again blaming the OS and avoiding the reality that the machine is to blame. It is outside the one year warranty so I know they will avoid the 4th repair at all costs. Not enough space to describe the issues I have had but my Dell, IBM, and AlienWare machines triumph over this M9800..."

"M-Tech Laptops provided excellent service and an excellent product. I received personalized help in selecting a laptop, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the computer now that I have it. Although the laptop wasn't cheap, I got what I paid for, and much more!"

"Bought M-Tech's FL90 as this system was highly recommended by gamers' forums as a budget priced system with relatively high performance, especially the graphics.

CPU Speed : 2.39 GHZ
Memory : 2046 MB
GPU Card Type : GeForce 8600M GT
OS: Windows XP
At the time of purchase this system rivaled many desktops in performance and allowed playing flight simulators and other graphics intensive games with large requirements.

It is now 1-1/2 years old, and M-Tech now has a similar priced mid price system with much more up to date performance specs. And they have a higher priced top of the line laptop which is just about the most powerful gaming laptop in existence, yet cost is very reasonable compared to Alienware or Dell.

Never had problems operating this fine laptop.
Customer service was outstanding when wanting to upgrade the hardrive to one larger.

Would definitely recommend most highly.

"Totally disappointing experience. Hundreds of post purchase dollars spent on shipping and post warranty repairs. TWO motherboard replacements and a graphics card all of which required shipping to and fro. Major pain in the ass - major money better spent on a better product. The unit was a total lemon - BUYER BEWARE!! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. In this case it's a high end specs sheet and low life-span parts. I will NEVER buy from M-Tech again."

"Have had my M-tech for almost 2 years now and have had nothing but problems. I've had to return it 5 times now, with various hardware problems. The only service centre is in California, so unless you live nearby the shipping costs for returning the laptop mount up fairly quickly. Don't even bother contacting M-tech if you have a problem, go direct to Pro-star who will most likely send you an RMA number rather than attempt to rectify/troubleshoot the problem over the phone. In short - Don't bother go for a more reliable brand."

"I am a PC gamer who is very particular about the tools I use. I am not into state of the art for the purpose of bragging rights or with the intent to squeeze the last frame out of my hardware. I have built most of my own PCs with specific select components which give the most performance for the best value. As a member of the military going on my second combat tour, I found it very important to find the best desktop replacement laptop capable of meeting my performance goals. As is well known most laptop computers cannot compete with the best desktop PCs out there. But let me say this, with the advent of the mobile 8800 GTX video card in either single or SLI mode and the Intel Quad Core Extreme X6800 CPU at 2.93 GHz, there is no laptop out there with the capability and performance of the M-TECH 900c. AND...at a price $100s of dollars lower then the closest competition out there. I spent 2 weeks researching laptop manufactures with rigs having the 8700 or 8800 video cards, Quad Core CPUs, 7.1 Surround Sound, 4 gigs of ram, oh yeah and a 1920x1200 WUXGA screen. Not a whole lot out there. M-Tech won hands down.

OK, How about some negatives? If you are a person who likes all the pretty bells, whistles, and bright LED lights flashing all over name brands and alien shaped logos, well sorry...M-Tech is a simple sleek rig with minimal embellishments.

This thing weighs over 12 pounds. What do you want with all this power? You can't get 500 HP from a Honda Civic with out increasing it's weight a little.

Battery life. Bluntly put...all this horsepower consumes power! This is not one of those laptops where you sit under the old oak tree in the field on a beautiful day doing your homework. Nope, this laptop battery lasts less then an hour and better serves as a built in UPS on steroids.

A positive note...Upgradability! Get tired of what's under the hood some day; upgrade. Couldn't afford to buy all the best parts you wanted when you first purchased it; Upgrade. Some new technology comes out you must have, like Blu-Ray; Upgrade.

And it wouldn't be far to not go with out mentioning the great people who work at M-Tech. Wow!! For me, an opportunity to laugh or smile every day is never turned down. These great folks gave me that opportunity. I asked them "Is this better or that in your rig?" and (being a rather computer educated individual) they didn't steer me wrong.

I can only say that the M-Tech 900c is one kick butt laptop. Ow. Running Crysis at 1440x900 on VERY high graphics, ain't a bad thing either!!

David Harvey"
