5/5

posted Jan-18-2012

Puget Systems built exactly what I was looking for! By no means am I a computer whiz, I'm a middle-aged salesman who runs a small rep agency and use my computer every day to e-mail, internet searches, prepare reports and quotes and maintain an extensive database of customers. It all started by searching through all the major computer manufacturers and resellers - Dell, Apple, HP, Toshiba, Best Buy, Amazon, Tiger Direct and on and on. These are the places that I've only bought from before - but couldn't find exactly what I thought I needed. I've owned many Dell's, HP's, Toshiba's, Lenovo's in the past and they all worked but all were loaded up with all the junk programming that I believe would eventually cost the performance of the machine. So after a little searching - I found Puget and so far I'm extremely happy. From the beginning, William in Customer Support helped me select the cabinet config, processor, drive space, etc. - we addressed all of the things that were important to me - small box (Echo I), fast (Intel Core i5 2.5 ghz/8GB RAM), 160 GB SSD drive (never had this before - nice!), and has all of the connections I need. Only the required software was loaded on, ie required drivers and Windows 7. I've loaded Quicken 10 and Microsoft Office 10 with a couple still to do. For me - this unit is super fast, boots up and down in under 30 sec, is super quiet( a fan runs all the time but I swear you can NOT hear it) and sits proudly up on my desk taking up less than 1/2 sq ft of footprint. Yes, I probably paid about $300 more than the Dell I probably would have bought - BUT - when I call in for service, I'm calling them in Auburn, WA and speaking with a direct company employee, I have lifetime tech support and I got exactly what I wanted. I think these guys are on to something and highly recommend that you e-mail them, call them, consider them before you make your final decesion.

Thanks Puget Systems!
