How about this? I've actually gone down in budget?! It feels unbalanced, but I'm pretty ignorant about AMD. Can you spot any obvious flaws? [I have maybe a couple of hundred in headroom]. Case FRACTAL POP SILENT CASE TG (BLACK) Promotional Item Get a discount code for 20% off select...

Thanks. I have an Iiyama P2791Q, and then an old Samsung 20" [DVI etc, not HDMI] as my second display. [I have the option of using a second one of those IIyamas - currently in store- if I had the desk space]. Games are fairly modest - i.e. not real time shooters for example - so all the Total...

Hang on - I thought it would include the spec.

Looks like the graphics card died on my 12 yr old, "never skipped a beat", PC Specialist desktop. I'll look into what's occurred (any tips on where to start diagnostics welcome - I've got output, but blank screens). But it's my main business machine, so I can't afford to hang around. More likely...

Hi. I've had my Lafite 14" [i5 Quad, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics, 512GB SSD] for two months now. Very pleased with it. Sometimes seems to get a bit hot. This morning I had "Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap" blue screen of death. Info collection/restart indicator stayed at 0% - so I eventually forced...

Have now ordered that spec. Thanks again.

That's brilliant. Thank you!

Thank you - this looks great - particularly on weight. Very grateful for your time and thought on this. If I wanted to bring it in under £800 [inc VAT] - including a 1yr Office 365 subscription - is there anything I could realistically shave? Or would that start to defeat the purpose? i.e. am I...

I'm just about to replace a big, heavy, business laptop that's 8 years old. I use a desktop in my home office. So the laptop is all about what I take on the road. I would like it to be light, strong, and reasonably future-proofed. 14" screen should be fine. Emphasis again on light weight. Main...

Hi, This is for a home business and leisure machine - but with future-proofing and with capacity for some cheeky gaming. I will also use it to deliver training over the internet - using Adobe Connect as the platform [with a wired connection to my cable router]. What do you think? Anything I...
