Customer Testimonials

For my work I needed a computer that would allow me to record and produce Camtasia videos with ease, and I also needed quiet. My work-provided laptop produced a discernible whirring noise in the background of all of my videos, which was horrible. Work wasn’t in a position to provide a better laptop and because I work in a home office, I decided it was time to update the office desktop.

I was excited to find Puget Custom Computers for a number of reasons–one is that they are US-based. Additionally, I’m in the Pacific Northwest, and I really believe it’s important to support local talent as much as possible. All of Puget’s reviews have been glowing as well.

I worked with Wilson Chau over a series of e-mails outlining what I thought I needed. My original “fantasy build” contained extraneous things that were either unnecessary or more expensive than necessary, and I deeply appreciate Puget System’s integrity. Wilson made excellent recommendations, guiding me toward best quality and most cost effective materials. In late August, I ordered a Serenity build desktop. This was promptly delivered, and the customer service both before and after has been phenomenal (including a follow up phone call to ensure all was well).

The Serenity system has been perfect. Video production is snappy, in fact everything is snappy. And quiet. My videos are incredibly quiet, so the Serenity system quiet build has been profoundly useful. It’s true what the description of the Serenity says: if it weren’t for the lights, sometimes I can’t tell if it’s on!

I marked the pricing for the computer as “low priced” and would like to qualify this: the Serenity was not the cheapest computer I’ve ever bought, but I definitely feel my purchase dollars were maximized to buy the best quality materials and service. Yes, it was more than a $300 laptop, but quite frankly, a $300 laptop could not do what I needed for work–and this new computer can!

If you need a custom computer, do not hesitate to work with the consummate professionals at Puget Custom Computers!

I recently ran into an issue with my Puget laptop. The problem was related to Windows 7, rather than hardware. I phoned Puget Systems and spoke with Micah Musick. We discussed the issue at length. He connected to my computer on two different occasions and made a valiant attempt to fix the complex problem. He spent time to research the issue, and while there were several references and fixes, none were specific to the problem I was having. Since he couldn’t find a specific fix, we agreed that a re-install of Windows and the drivers was the best course of action. He and Christopher Crader developed a list of up-to-date drivers, along with links to download them and instructions as to how to proceed. The reinstall went perfectly and I am now up and running. I truly appreciated Micah’s help and his kind, and professional manner.

Once again, Puget Systems gets it right!

I recently purchased and received a new laptop from Puget Systems. I had Window 8 installed. It is significantly different than Windows Vista and previous OS I have used. I had to call Tech Support just to get logged on my Wi-Fi connection. It is kind of embarrassing to have to ask for assistance doing something as simple as that, but that is one of the reasons I bought from Puget Systems and they came through. What a wonderful experience calling there Tech Support for assistance. I can only say that at this point, after receiving my laptop and starting out, I would highly recommend Puget Systems to anyone want a new computer. I will check back in a few months and let you know how I feel then, but I am fairly confident I will still be highly recommending them.

Good Luck, Ron

I went back to resellerratings to write another review but it seemed that I would only be changing the first review I wrote. In any case, I want to add an update.

My original review at the above mentioned site covered my first two purchases from Puget Systems. I have since bought another PC from them with the same high level of service as the first orders. All three systems are running fine after more than a year but I did have some trouble with the first one. I called and explained that the PC was more than a year old and was reminded that the hardware warranty runs for whatever the original manufacturer gives, but phone support is for life. Hard to believe, but it’s true! After two calls and running some tests using the software they provided with the original documentation I found that I had a hard drive failure. Better yet, the hard drive was still covered by warranty!

The person I talked with was very knowledgeable and very patient with me. He quickly understood the problem and recommended the right tests to run. After resolving the problem I talked to him about sending my PC back for an upgrade because they are now using a newer and much better motherboard. He convinced me that, although the newer motherboard really was better, it was probably not worth the cost and trouble for me to upgrade now.

Now, Puget Systems made no money out of this transaction. In fact, there was cost to them and benefit to me. I was even talked out of spending some more money with them for an upgrade I was willing to do! As strange as that sounds, it really happened. I highly recommend this company.

Custom computer used in an observatory was designed (with my input), built, and tested by Puget Systems. Everything was to spec, all was shipped in a timely manner, and the product was as expected (and hoped for). I would not hesitate to do business with them again and highly recommend Puget Systems as a non-hassle, high quality supplier of computer systems.

I have never done business with any other company anywhere that is more customer oriented than Puget systems. When I called to order I talked with William for about 30 minutes and he had me fixed up with exactly the computer I needed. I was especially impressed with the step by step monitoring I was able to do with their updates during the assembly and testing phases. When the computer arrived, the packing was as good as it gets!

I will be in the market in the future for a laptop and I will certainly get it from Puget Systems.

Absolutely impeccable service. Fast build, top quality, one of the best companies I have ever dealt with.

Will never buy another computer from any other company.

All the staff – Daniel, William, Christopher – have been wonderful. Unlike other manufacturers with whom I have dealt, Puget Systems does not just take the money and run after they’ve made a sale.

Excellent service. Very personable, helpful, and well-informed. The product itself was exactly what I wanted. They listened, and they put together something that was perfect for my computing needs. They were available to field my questions at every step. I’m very happy with the experience.

I needed a very specific type of computer built and with a small physical dimension that would allow it to be carried on an airplane. William and his colleagues at Puget Systems paid close attention to every detail I required and in an efficient manner. They are also extremely knowledgeable about all things computers and seem to be very passionate about their work and it reflected in all contact I have had with them. It’s highly unlikely I will ever buy a new computer from another vendor again. Their pricing is also very reasonable for the level of service, knowledge, and quality of their products. Lets face it, if you’re looking for a custom built computer, one expects a far higher level of service than a Dell-type experience and product; Puget Systems delivered in every possible way. These guys are terrific!
