Hello there, I am here to share my story as a paying customer of PC Specialist. Back in April, 2011 I purchased a Vortex II Laptop with a GTX460M for £1,214.00. After having waited just over 2 weeks for my order to be finished and the laptop be delivered, I was impressed with the service I was...

Sorted. Please lock or delete.

This isn't exactly a complaint, it is more of a suggestion as so far I have had nothing but decent service from here. Earlier on today at about 3.30pm I decided to try contacting a member of staff using live support as I wanted some information regarding my recent RMA. When I loaded up the live...

Hi there, my name is Nick. I bought a laptop from here back in April 2011, I only used the laptop for 3 months and the graphics card (GTX 460M) died due to overheating. Since I relocated to Japan for a year, I have been using my girlfriend's laptop and have still yet to return to the UK and...

Are the two hard drive slots on the Vortex II easy to access? Just wondering since I'm going to buy a computer from here tomorrow and I would like to put my existing Crucial C300 128GB into the primary slot. I would prefer the 500GB WD SCORPIO BLACK to be installed in the second slot, keeping...

Does 17.3" Optimus II's motherboard support SATA 6Gb/s? I can't see anything on the specifications stating so. Just wondering since I'm waiting until the OCZ Vertex 3 2.5" SSD is released sometime in the next few days/weeks as I plan on opting for this instead of the Vertex 2. Thank you, Nick.
