FALCON NORTHWEST - EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY I would like to bring to your attention the excellent support I’ve received from the technical team members of Falcon Northwest. Recently, I have had issues with my Talon. All of my emails are answered within a day and are very detailed, some with photos to further help me understand what actions I have to take. When a telephone conversation is necessary, I have never been rushed nor has there been any indication of too much time being spent by the support staff regarding explanations or instructions. This holds true for all past tech support contacts as this is my second Talon with the first still operating after 14 years. Ever since purchasing my first Talon, I can’t count the times I’ve told people about the extreme high quality of Falcon Northwest computers and the excellent, above and beyond efforts of the support staff! This also holds true for the sales personnel. When ordering a new computer, they first ask what it will mainly be used for and then suggest which components should be considered. In my experience, when I mentioned I was considering more costly options, they kindly mentioned it really wasn’t needed and I wouldn’t benefit in performance for my needs. In closing, for all the topics mentioned above, I will continue to recommend Falcon Northwest to anyone who is considering purchasing a new computer!

Horrible sales support Horrible sales support. No support for military, veterans, contractors, or government personnel who are stationed overseas. The sales person told me Falcon will not ship to an APO address, period. My credit card address is my APO address and the sales person authenticated that address passed your systems authentication, but he could not use it, because you do not ship to APO addresses. UPDATE: I have contacted Falcon again and they still state they will not ship to an APO address, but they are "looking" into it again, but it is unlikely to be allowed. Also, the only other available way to pay is a direct wire transfer, which takes away any possibility of the buyer to refute a purchase, or get their money back in the case of an undelivered, broken, or substandard system. A wire transfer is not even a slightly good way for a customer to pay for anything anymore.

The system arrived in a working but unreliable condition The system arrived in a working but unreliable condition. After MANY hours troubleshooting with their tech support, they determined the video card was no good. They shipped me a new one, I popped it in, and things were looking good. Until the system refused to boot one day. After more hours troubleshooting, they helped me determine that one of the m2 SSD drives was bad. Again they warrantied but seriously for all the money I spent having to spend so many hours of my own time troubleshooting is infuriating. 100% wish I did my own build.

I purchased a FNW Fragbox I purchased a FNW Fragbox about 5 years ago and it's been rock-solid ever since. I never had to use any of their customer service or tech support and I suppose that shows how good this PC was out of the box. It's a really nice blend of power and portability. This will probably remain my form factor for all future primary workstations, though I have decided to have a handy back-up system in addition. I will pick up a DRX laptop this year, I hope it's as stable as my Fragbox. Follow-up posting: I picked up the FNW DRX laptop a few weeks ago and what a monster it is! A bit on the heavy side but it packs some serious CPU firepower and significant hardware features. The cooling fans are quite interesting, they seem powerful enough to turn the thing into a hovercraft if you crank them up high enough, but they are whisper quiet mostly. I like the dust exhaust feature on start-up, cool idea.

Top Tier Support and Service! I've had myTalon for about 4 years now. From start to finish the process was seamless and quick. I've run into 2 small issues with the cooler failing on my CPU but support has been top tier. Both times they responded quickly, helped me troubleshoot my issues, sent parts overnight so there was minimal downtime and helped me get up and running within a couple days. Shout out to Brett and Jonathan for helping me out!
