Great for CAD
I loved the options available to customise my lap top to the specs I wanted within my budget for use with Autodesk Inventor and other CAD programs. Some may be influenced by the less than exciting appearance of Metabox products; however, I value function over form and the Metabox I purchased functions better than any other computer I have used and the keyboard is a dream to use.

Freaking awesome!
I have been using a metabox laptop at work for the past 3 years. Currently we have about 15 laptops. Recently my HP Z420 workstation at home died and was looking for something to replace it. At first I wasn't sure to get a metabox or not. It's different when someone else pay for it (like work) and when you pay for it with your own hard earn cash. There was a good Black Friday sales thus gave it a go. Wow! Metabox laptops are freaking awesome!

First Time Purchase Very Happy
Purchased system during black friday sale, the product spec for the price was amazing, i have been building PC's for over 20 years and could not source this eleswhere.
I was skeptical about it at first but it came thorugh exactly as ordered and on time.
would definatley purchase again.
Lets be honest here, purcashing laptops and pc's online etc is a minefield at the best of times if you dont know what your doing, its nice to see a company following through with great pricing and great options only hope the keep sending me more offers so i can spend some more money with them.

Great product!, However, it’s been twice from the past weeks that it shout down out of nowhere.
Store really easy to navigate, a wide range of items and options.
Not very satisfied at the moment due to the fact that it’s been twice that the laptop shot down out of nowhere. It’s 2 months old.

Great value for money!
Super easy to customise the specs on my desired laptop with simple Metabox's to use interface.
Very high quality build and worked right out of the box. Could not ask for more. Thank you Metabox!

Difficult online purchasing experience
I'm a returning customer, second purchase online. First experience was great, timely delivery and great product. Have just ordered another PC online - I followed the purchasing steps carefully. Money was debited from my bank account, but their online site says my payment is "pending" subject to review. I called their Sales team, the operator kept repeating some message about security and how their accounts department need to "review" the payment prior to commencing the order. I felt I was not listened to, and it concerns me that even though a p...Read more
ayment was made as evidenced by my bank account, another team has to manually process the payment, and this might take up to 3 hours. The overall experience is very unsatisfactory. Be careful when ordering from them, or go elsewhere. After making a complaint, the order status went from "pending" to "paid". Am grateful about this. Have updated my review from 1 to 3 stars to reflect that they acted quickly, I still feel the overall customer experience was poor however.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Metabox Laptop
Very happy with the laptop. Everything works as expected, and the battery life is a bit better than I expected on office tasks. My old laptop ran very hot on some tasks, but this one gets barely warm doing the same things. My only disappointment was the slow delivery, although this was no doubt affected by me ordering it just prior to Xmas. I got exactly the laptop I wanted and overall I would be happy to recommend a Metabox laptop to my friends.

Everything is good so far
I bought this laptop 2 months ago and so far everything is good. It has a good design, is silent, and is attending all my necessities pretty well. Let's see if it will continue in one year.

Metabox P960RD - Blown away by the power and the $ saved
Best laptop ever owned (I've owned everything for Macs, to Thinkpads HP Elite range etc)
Sheer power, fraction of the cost of the big brands.
Upgrade-able - unlike the fruit brand which has everything soldered (including your wallet)

Great for latest AAA gaming on laptops!
I am having a great experience with this product, had a good deal during Christmas sales. AAA Games like destiny 2, gears 5 run flawlessly over multiple hours. Only downside is the fan noise and battery backup. my laptop has to be plugged in all the time, but I bought it mainly for playing games at home so I don't mind it.

Very very VERY happy customer.
Easy to navigate the store and build the package to your own requirements. Very happy with this purchase which has worked faultlessly. At just under $3,000 I was not intending to buy a cheap machine, I needed a work horse. The package I bought from METABOX was significantly cheaper than other brands on a spec v spec basis and I saved a lot of money. I will definitely be going back to METABOX for my next purchase.

Great machine, great price & service
The Metabox Alpha-X laptop I recently bought has been amazing so far. I made a few edits to a laptop they had on their website, which is extremely easy to use and far more user friendly than some of the other brands (which is also why I leaned towards Metabox). The laptop is fast, reliable and perfect for my needs. I use it for work including heavy tasks like photo & video processing, and fits well into my travel bag as well. I also tried a game on it and it runs well. Stoked with the product.

Fantastic laptops, I'm on my second one
I have ordered two laptops for myself in the last five years and both have been fantastic. I have also gotten 4 of my mates onto them and have had nothing but praise from them. Couldn't recommend a better place to buy

Best laptop for sure
Looked around for a bit for a laptop to suit my needs for now and the next few years and Metabox was the only place did I find the specs I needed and the chance to custom build to my needs. Got the slim P960RD, best choice ever. Quality of the laptop is the best I've seen in the market so far. Was a little expensive but came with the best software, specs one could ask for. Customer service is the best too, very knowledgeable agents, never felt rushed and they took the time to explain things. Thank you.

An exceptionally good machine
Two of us bought respectively an i7 8750h based alpha and an i7 9750h based alpha machine, each with 32Gb of Ram. The machines were used to run numerically intensive software that ties up 100% of each of the 6 cores during a typically 30 minute run. Computation speed was the main characteristic of interest. For the same configuration, the Metabox machines were typically $500 cheaper than the name brands and offered a superior warranty if one bought the premium cover. The Metabox store was easy to navigate, options were clear, and machine c...Read more
onfiguration was simple. Performance (with all cpu cores at 100%): The 8750h machine ran our code 1.4 times faster than an hex core i7-4930k, liquid cooled, heavily overclocked desktop machine built in 2013. The 9750h machine was 20% faster again. The fans on both machines needed to run at near maximum speed to cool the machines during the runs. Their noise level was fairly low given the tasks they were performing and identical for both machines. The 8750h based machine ran fairly constantly at 95C-97C core temperature, throttling the CPU speed to below 3Ghz when the maximum is 4Ghz. The 9750h based machine ran at about 85C under similar circumstances but with a clock speed of about 3.5Ghz. Max core temperature before shutdown is 100C, so there is little headroom in the 8750h machine but plenty in the 9750h. However, the control system lowers the CPU speed automatically as the temperature rises, so there is little danger cooking the processor. It is a pity that enough cooling could not be provided to let the processors run at maximum clock speed at 100% load, but this is almost impossible without liquid cooling. The 8750h machine has been running intensively for over 6 months without any problem. It appears to be very reliable. Graphics on the 17 inch screen are very good, although their limits are not explored by the code being developed. In view of the excellent performance of the Metabox machines we are likely to use these machines exclusively in the future for developing and testing code, rather than desktop machines.Similar opinion?

So good I'm buying a second
The online store was amazing, though if you could make it easier to identify the differences in the devises appearances. The complete range is great and my product is amazing. I can't wait to buy the next one.

Great laptop
Finding, customising and ordering was very simple once I could figure out what features I wanted (because there are so many!!). The laptop is also very good with no issues at the moment (it's only a month old). One slight inconvenience that I would mention is that the laptop came with a disk which contained the drivers for the keyboard and more. However, I had not selected the option for an optical drive with the laptop, making the disk redundant. Although these can be downloaded online, it may have been better to just provide a link to where to find the drivers and not provide the disk at all.
Overall, this is a great product with a competitive price, would recommend.
