I have never heard of Noblis and wouldn't trust them for anything critical. There are a lot of chinese knockoffs out there to choose from. Emachines are junk also, I have worked on many of them.

Try Nobilis Computers you wll never regret.

I have inherited a Nobilis N1019 notebook and reinstalled my own XPPro. However certain drivers are missing. Multiple searches on the internet have come up nil on drivers. If anyone knows other than pay sites for drivers please follow up on this site. I would advise anyone looking into acquiring a Nobilis notebook, i would advise not. Acquiring information and drivers over internet on Nobilis computers is very difficult. This is referring to an earlier post from Dan: December 27th, 2007 at 1:46 pm.

They have been a VERY successful machine for us and even use their servers for all our in-house Internet Service Provider needs. Our Engineer spends 90% of his time working on Dells, Compacts, Hewlett Packards or E-Machines and times he spends hours just trying to get proper support from the companies themselves when having to replace hardware or CD's that never came with the units when customers purchased them. Their CHEAP systems that have never-ending repair needs. Nobilis has not only been a money saver for our customers (requiring little to no repair work) but also for the Engineer that has to take the time to work on them, therefore freeing up his time for other in-house needs. It's the internal componets that you CHOOSE when you build the system that makes the difference ~ in other words, you get what you pay for.

It has a pentium 4 2.4ghz processor..the only issue I have ever had was the power adapter connector keeps breaking off the motherboard. So I took a power adapter plug from a Toshiba that has a pigtail on it to plug onto a motherboard, cut off the connector to the motherboard, and soldered the wires to the board and drilled a small hole in the case to leave the adapter plug outside the unit. this "FRANKENSTEIN" works great. (Now if I could just get quieter fans so I can hear the speakers). I have an older Nobilis.

I just got my Nobilis laptop back from being "fixed"! It just went black on me and I took it to be fixed, I got it home, turned it on it worked for about 15 minutes and went black on me again!!! I have had a Dell laptop at school for about 6 years and have not had problem one with it. Our secretary at school also had a Nobilis laptop and had so many problems she asked for a different computer, she got a Dell and has had NO problems!!! Sorry Robert, as far as I am concerned, Nobilis are JUNK!!!! Luckily I have the option of trading out for a Dell laptop, definitely will take them up on that one~~~ Yay Dan and Dave!!!

I hated the fact that the reseller had to go through this because we live in a small town and they really worked with me on this. I often refer friends to them for their computer needs. They shouldn't have had to refund this themselves. After I returned it to them, they did some additional testing and evaluation. They did find that the two AC adapters I received with the unit didn't supply the correct voltage to the unit. That could have contributed to the problems I was having. Who knows. I purchased a Dell direct from Dell and so far, have been completely happy with it. My problem with Equus is that in my situation, it seemed that their technical support/evaluation wasn't that good. The first time I sent the unit back, I sent the power adapters with it. They could have tested it and replaced it but didn't. They would plug it in on their power adapter and run their tests. I'm sure they didn't find anything - so they sent it back. They never tested the power adapters.

Their service and support is fantastic. You didn't buy the unit from us but I'm guessing you received a full refund and apology from your reseller and Equus. I am sorry you had a bad one but thats all it was-a bad one that they will either fix, replace or return at your option!
