When you order a system from KillerNotebooks, you are not only
getting great value in the system you are purchasing but you are also getting
the finest in customer service since the KillerNotebooks staff and Mark Mueller,
the owner, make it their point to promptly answer any questions you may have
prior and during your notebooks construction process. How many times do you
actually get to speak with the people building your system like you would
at KillerNotebooks, versus someone paid to run you through a "checklist"
of potential issues over the phone. Personalized service, hardware tweaking,
and even going the extra mile to try and eliminate any amount of heat that
can be dissipated through the addition of extra heatsinks as well as surface
preparation with Artic Silver 5 thermal compound and lapping of the heat absorbing
interfaces for better heat dissipation (you will not find thermal tape in
these notebooks). Laptop protection is offered through www.safeware.com without
markups, and they stand by their warranties. The hard drives used in the notebooks
builds are true retail hard drives with 3 and 5 year warranties on them (no
OEM hard drives here). They also offer custom etching of the notebook case
on the outside of the notebook, so that you can personalize your notebook
with any text, in any font available for branding. We have been informed that
KillerNotebooks has several different customizations they are working on including,
aluminum covers, a carbon fiber top and bottom chassis, and more. This is
not paint and will not come off.
These are a few of the great advantages of buying your next laptop from KillerNotebooks.com.
