The worst computer shopping experience.

The computer did not work when it arrived. When I asked for a refund, they issued an incorrect return and refused to correct it. The issue ended up being that they did not assemble the computer correctly in the first place. Support was able to fix it after over a month. Suspiciously, two weeks after the warranty expired several of the keys on the keyboard stopped working most of the time, including the power button.

I wish I had seen all of the other google reviews before I shopped here.

STAY FAR AWAY
July 10, 2024

Sent me a broken PC, spent months with customer service with no luck. Sent it back for RMA and was guaranteed it was fixed, it was anything but fixed. Had me buy another power supply and RAM sticks and guaranteed me it would fix the problem, it did not. Made me pay for shipping back to them for a refund, only for them to tell me the GPU was damaged in shipping. They're trying to weasel there way out of a return. Requested to talk to management with no luck. Now they're saying I might have to cover the damaged GPU. Here's some food for thought you idiots at XOTIC pc, maybe build me a working PC and i won't have to send it back to you morons. Well I hired an attorney and plan on throwing the book at them. Until I get my money back I will make sure they loose business. Don't EVER buy from this company, stay far away.

Overall I was happy with my laptop, but when there was an accident and the casing needed repair I sent it in. That was more than four months ago, and I still don't have it back. There seems to be no communication between the various departments, everything takes forever, and when I attempt to confront a member of management I get nothing but excuses and no accountability.

Configuration set up is very easy to use and understand. Mine is a preorder of a laptop that is still on a boat in the Pacific so I do not have it in hand but the ability to configure all the drive ports was very helpful, especially when I will be promoting some SSD to the new machine.

Good choices on thermal compound/heatsinks, too.

They sell you junk
September 11, 2023

Had the Laptop less than two years and motherboard fried. Buy from other site avoid pcxotic.com
It was also a very loud laptop. At first I thought it was normal since it was an expensive beast but then realized it was a piece of junk. Very disappointed.

Stole money
September 29, 2023

They sent me factory faulty laptop. Then I've sent it back and they refunded. In refund they included stocking fee. So they stole from me 700$ for faulty laptop + transportation payments. Disappointing.

I ordered one computer for my son for college, ended up getting charged for two computers. After speaking with Jeff and then Alex from exotic PCs they assured me they would take care of it and asked me to drop my dispute, bad move on my part. I had no idea they were going to not advocate for me, their customer, at all and keep my $2,145.35 for themselves. This is not a reputable company and business. I have spoken to them and emailed them on approximately 25 separate occasions. They assured me they had spoken with my credit card, Chase, and that everything was going to be worked out. That began in June and I'm still fighting with this company. I would not recommend this business to my worst enemy, and judging from the reviews on this site, I'm not the only one that feels this way. Stay away from this company as they are deceitful, dishonest and complete liars. I would give zero stars if that were an option. STAY AWAY FROM XOTIC PC!

Overpriced junk
February 9, 2023

I have bought to Sager laptops from Xoticpc. The first one had the display hinge separate which led to the display failing, when it was less that three years old. It cost me something like 700 dollars to get it repaired.

The second laptop had the motherboard burn up before it was four years old!

Total JUNK!

In stock you say?
April 22, 2022

I checked with customer service to see if my specific model was in stock right before ordering. I was assured that it was. 3 weeks later I ask again since nothing has changed on my account since ordering. Suddenly I'm told that I'd have to wait until late June for the laptop they had in stock to arrive. Not to me but, to them so that they could them customize it. Didn't even offer a solution or ask if maybe we could look into a different model.

Feel like you've been sold a Lemon Laptop?
Been taken advantage of?
Received a faulty device, and been asked for more money to make it functional?

Fraud: wrongful deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

I STRONGLY urge anyone with experiences like these, tell your story to the Nebraska Attorney General's office, department of consumer fraud.

United we stand, together they fall.

I ordered a laptop. An email confirmation was not sent for over one week. I asked why they were so slow in responding and what the ETA was. My order was immediately cancelled. No response, no communication as to why. Horrible service and support. Avoid these people.

I custom ordered a $3900 AMD desktop from Xotic PC. I specified a normal fan cooler but they sent a liquid cooler. The CPU runs at 70C idle and 90C with any app includuing just surfing the net! If I multitask on three screens it shutsdown for overheat protection. I complained and they gave me things to try. I am now past the 30 day return window and although they are offering to fix it, under my 3 yr warranty, shipping is on the customer! Even for warranty work on a part I didn't want! A new cooler would be cheaper than one way shipping. So void the remainder of the 3 yr warranty and fix it myself? Yes!
If you don't have the ability to fix a broken PC, don't purchase from Xotic PC!

Be Cautious and Check Back DAILY
October 25, 2021
Updated review

I have updated my review to three stars to reflect that the company has fixed the problem and apologized for the issues caused. They refunded the rush fee and the computer is in fact coming on Wednesday. The fact that it took four days and me checking in to make sure everything was happening according to promises, and then "the system" saying they were out of stock, and me being told I would not be getting a computer is not a good customer service model.

DO NOT BUY
October 21, 2021
Previous review

On October 15, I spoke to the live chat the entire time i was customizing the machine. I spoke to "Andrea", "James", and one other person. Andrea checked to see if the laptop i was building was in stock and since it was not, recommended a similar MSI which had four in stock. On Monday 10/18 i contacted them again and spoke to James who said the laptop was slated to be sent out later in the week because i paid for the rush build. I check again today 10/21 and james says that the laptop is out of stock. I was never notified. The last day it was promised to be shipped is the day i have to follow up only to find out that they don't even have it in stock because they don't allocate a machine until they're ready to build it and by the time they got to mine there were no more. This is the WORST inventory system imaginable. When James finally got back to me letting me know that he will refund me, there was no apology, no taking of responsibililty, no attempt to fix it. NOTHING. After i mentioned it, James responded "I'm very sorry that we didn't have enough inventory to get you a laptop out right away. Is there anything else we can help with today?" They don't even understand the problem.

You DO NOT matter to this company. Don't give them your business.

Scam

I ordered a gaming computer from this shady organization. I received the PC and it booted up and worked well for about a week. Now the darned thing won't even do one thing except drive me and my son crazy! What can I do now? I really expect nothing will happen if I do contact them. Future comments may be added.

Ordered a computer in August with a September arrival prediction. Now it's mid October and I just learned they're still trying to fulfill orders placed in May. My estimated arrival just changes every 2 weeks, other companies are fulfilling orders for the same model in a week. Go to newegg or asus directly. Hopefully this company with finally die out for the good of us all. Avoid xotixpc like your life depends on it

Terrible company
August 17, 2021

Awful customer service. Sales phone line actually cuts you off after 10 mins wait. No one is on the same page and no one returns your calls. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have bought a flash drive from them. I would have had better luck ad Dollar General

HORRIBLE experience!

Please look for your laptop somewhere else. They clearly do not value customers. There is so much inconsistency within each and every representative. Each time you call there is a completely different responce.
