Back then, I had a good experience with MALIBAL support, as I did actually have an issue with a notably slow HDD and they sent out a replacement. Sad to see the responses from whoever is replying nowadays.

Whoa, no wonder the name seemed to ring a bell. I bought a Clevo laptop so I did my research with the various brands that were slapping their own label on a Clevo machine back in the day. I do remember Malibal and at least back during that period, people seemed to be happy with their purchase.
Oof, those recent reviews are scathing. How on earth are they able to stay in business like this? Verbally abusing customers isn't the best way to earn business.
To answer your questions:
1) The very first post on this thread from BrightOstrich239 links to a great Reddit discussion, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. All you have to do is search the web for MALIBAL. It isn't pretty. Here are some YouTube videos that, in pretty damning fashion, explain the issue. Could you find a positive hardware review on MALIBAL? Probably, but that doesn't seem to be what the primary problem is here.

2) Who should you buy a laptop from? That's up to you - that's kind of like asking who to buy a TV from...? If you're specifically looking for a custom notebook, somewhere in the ballpark of what MALIBAL seemingly tries to be, a company called Sager Notebook Computers (www.sagernotebo
3) OK, sure, you can rely on a chargeback if necessary. You'll probably have less overall trouble by simply buying from a genuinely reputable manufacturer.
They're just common thieves, don't make the mistake of giving them any money."

Do you have anyone else to recommend buying a laptop from that's better than this one?
