I've just received my new PC. As part of the setup some pictures were downloaded to my smaller C drive. I used cut and paste to transfer these to my storage drive. There were around 5GB of pictures in total but it seems to be taking an age to transfer. Initially the estimate was 5 hours now...

I'm currently waiting for my new pc. Like many that buy from PC Specialist I have taken advice in these forums about the build. The advice I've taken was to have a small SSD purely for the operating system, a larger one for programs and games then a much larger HDD drive. I must admit to being...

This is going to be multipurpose for everyday use with some photo and video editing, fairly basic occasional gaming, etc. I wanted a flat* screen. On my previous pc the monitor is 21". I had recommended a monitor which is 27" but my wife has laid down the law and doesn't want anything too...

For the last 12 years we have had a desktop, originally built by pc specialist, which has served us well. It is generally used for browsing and we also have an exel spreadsheet on there there to keep track of finances. In addition I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on there. When on...

I'm looking at thoughts on the kind of price range I'd need to be looking at for a decent desktop for video editing and capable of running Adobe Photoshop, Premier Pro and After Effects. I've been given an idea of what I should be looking at for a laptop used for those purposes but was wondering...

My daughter's laptop screen has all sorts of vertical and horizontal coloured lines on two sides of the screen which change when pressure applied. Looks like she has damaged the screen somehow and will likely need a new screen. Problem is she is using the laptop for university work. She is...

I've kind of just dipped in and out of gaming in recent years but now have a nice new laptop giving me more flexibility to play anywhere I like around the house. Hopefully this will give me a few years. I've started playing Shadow of the Tombraider. It's the sort of game I really enjoy...

I've noticed a broken line of stuck pixels on part of the screen of my new laptop. It's showing as blue against dark background and now that I've spotted them I can't unspot them. Has anyone had any luck using pixel fixing software?

myself and my daughter have recently ordered new laptops via PCS and now it looks like my son may be getting in on the act, so I'm looking for a little advice. He currently has a desktop which is 6 years old. He doesn't do any gaming on it but he does use Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and...

I have a laptop in testing now. Checking my account I saw this change. GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0 Change to: GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0 I hadn't been notified. Is this normal and is this change in any way significant?

Sorry to crash a thread but I think my question is relevant. I've read many threads with AMD being the preferred option over Intel. Are the any circumstances, any uses where an Intel CPU would be an advantage?

I've had a laptop ordered for a couple of weeks and have paid £1320 for it. As it is still in pre production I was wondering whether to change the SSD to Samsung. The cost of making that alteration came up as an additional £76. I was going to ask for opinions on whether people thought that the...

Not sure whether I've posted this to the right place. My last build was back in 2011. At that time I purchased Norton antivirus software, which covered 3 machines. I was subsequently able to use that on av desktop my son ordered in 2014 and a laptop my daughter has just had built. I think at...

Looking at the options available today I see there are some other options such as the Optimus Elite. However, when I access these options it takes me to the Optimus Pro. Is this the same laptop?

I've had gaming PCs from PCS before but in recent times my current pc has fallen into disuse from a gaming point of view. I was going to get back into it but the location of the pc isn't ideal. I've never had a laptop before and I know that a desktop is better for gaming but I'm now thinking...

I'm looking for a laptop which can handle the latest games at a reasonable level for a few years. It's likely to get fairly light use as I am not a hard core gamer. I have a desktop pc which I use at present but it's location in my house means that I rarely play games nowadays. The laptop is...

My daughter needs a new laptop to use at university. She wants to be able to do some gaming online with friends and, having once had a very basic laptop that was very very slow, she is keen on more speed. She has a budget of between £500 to £1000 and wants a laptop that will last a few years...
