Just received my first Malibal Laptop

I just got in my first laptop. A Malibal Lotus P151HM1 and I just wanted to say a few things about it.

First off I never thought it would look so nice. It is very sleek and minimalistic. The pictures I saw didn't do it justice.

The keyboard on it is absolutely fantastic. There is so much room my fingers hardly know what to do with themselves. All the other laptops I've used have tiny and scrunched keys. I am blown away by this.

Next, I had ordered the laptop with no OS but it came with win7 already installed. A pleasant surprise that did save me some time.

Along the lines with the perhaps order error. I had selected the option for no Branding (MALIBAL electroform nameplate) But the name is still on it. Am I thinking that it was something different, like a large plaque on it or something? Now this isn't a complaint. I'm more then happy to show it off especially since it is quite subdued and blends well with the look of the laptop.

Now a question. The only regret I have with it is that I should have ordered it with a Blu-Ray disc drive. Is it easy to find and install laptop disc drives?

 

Nice man! Congrats! When did you order yours?

How funny would it be if you got someone elses laptop since it has windows 7 and the branding.

I would contact MALIBAL if you haven't already. They're pretty quick to answer.

Still waiting for news on mine. Ordered on September 04.

Edit. For your drive question. It's not too bad. Just look for a slim notebook optical drive with blu ray. Make sure it is SATA and not IDE or something. It's a pretty simple procedure. Newegg has some decent prices on drives, but the blu ray ones are more expensive of course

 

I think the branding actually looks nice actually, just tell yourself that it will look like a large flat grey stone slab sitting on your desk without it

ODD is removal is quite easy, here's a pic from the user manual to help:

 

I am pretty sure I've got the correct laptop. Everything checks out for the most part. (Model from CPU-Z says P150HM, though S/N says P151HM.) Probably use the same base with just different CPU cores though.

Only thing I can't verify is if the screen is the correct one.

 

Well, as far as I can tell, the chasis from the two are different. They have different finishes anyways. I was kidding though. lol. I'm sure they sent you the right one

Which screen did you go with?

 

15.6" 1920 x 1080 FHD LED AUO B156HW01 V.4 95% NTSC Matte Display is the screen I ordered.

 

Being listed as a P150HM is normal as they share the same internals. If you've got a plastic exterior and not a rubberized one (and your PSU is 120w), then you've got the right P151HM1. Not sure how you ended up with Windows installed though Check to see if you have a sticker on the bottom of the laptop with your activation key, if you don't, then it was just installed for testing and you won't actually have the key to reactivate.

Feel free to contact us via the info in my sig if you have any further questions/issues though

 

Is there much difference between the screens say between the standard Matte and the 95% Gamut one? I know I am very pleased with the one thats in mine, I cant imagine it could get much better.

 

I assume the branding refer to the top of the laptop and bottom of the screen? I am planning to have it not labeled on mine.

 

Hi,

You can look at reviews of both screens over here:
