    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST UltraNote III VS Lafité II

    These two laptops, at the exact same specs, are £93 difference in cost - in favour of the UltraNote III. In fact the UltraNote even appears to have a superior gfx card.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Please give the higher standard thermal paste as an option

    At present you only get the option of the Arctic cooling MX3 if you choose the overclocked variant of a PC. Why can't you offer the choice of the better thermal paste on the standard builds?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Arctic MX-3 on overclocked systems

    Don't you think £9 for what is essentilly a grain of rice sized blob of paste is a bit much? I'd think not charging at all would be a nice gesture. It's only like £6 for a whole tube. As it is, £9 is a bit of a p-take.
