Hi all, I'd like to order a desktop PC for my son who wants to use it for gaming as well as general duties. I know exactly nothing about anything I've seen on the site so am hoping that rather than checking a spec I'd basically be picking at random, (which I've done in the past for me but want...

Hi all, I've also posted this issue in the laptops section but it's relevant to my desktop computer as well. Apologies if you've read both but I'm really keen to see if anyone has any ideas... I've had my Latife II laptop for a month or so now and as a photographer with large numbers of photos...

Hi all, I've had my Latife II for a month or so now and as a photographer with large numbers of photos to transfer I was looking forward the using my USB3 card reader to dramatically cut transfer times. However, the USB 3 port on the laptop seems to "lose" the card reader before finding it...

Hi all, I need a small laptop with decent battery life and the think the Latife II might fit the bill. I have a budget of £650 and have specced one up as below. It's less than that but would rather save than over-spec if I don't need to. Useage will be mainly onsite photo editing and regular...

Hi all, I'm after one of the smaller laptops and think it's between the Latife II and the Ultranote II. I've not considered the Enigma VI as it seems to be much less configurable. One thing that important to me is battery life and I notice there is the option of buying an extra battery with the...

Hi all, I've been using the PC below for about 6 months now with no major problems but I'm beginning to regret my decision to not include a card reader and a decent graphics card. Is it a reasonably simple process to fit them now? Bearing in mind I've done nothing like this before! Also what...

Hi all, I'm looking to get a new laptop. It must be either 13.3" or 14" but I'm unsure of which one to start speccing up. I did like the look of the Lafite II but read that it has no LAN port which possibly (but not definitely) rules it out for me. Can anyone please shed some light on the major...

Hi all, I've just taken delivery of my new PC and haven't even yet switched it on. The reason is I'm struggling to connect the monitor to the PC. I bought a Dell Ultrasharp which came with the display port cable but I can't see a display port, erm, port on the back of the PC. There is an HDMI...

I've ordered a PC which is in it's 11th day or pre production and I'm having a panic about the graphics card. I'm not playing any games other than possibly Plants v Zombies for the children. Main use is general day to day internet/email/ebay stuff and large amounts of professional photo editing...

Hi all, This machine will mainly be used for photo editing and possibly some video in the future. The advice I'd be grateful for is; I understand an SSD for the operating system will speed things up but does it need to be a 250 or will a 120 be sufficient if I also have a 2TB drive? Secondly...

Hi all, Had a stab at this a week or so ago and after some help here have come up with this. Please have a look and let me know if any of you think I've missed anything. Budget is £1,100 so a tad over at £1,128 but I can live with that. Mainly will be used for editing large batches of photos as...

Hi all, New to the forum and, indeed, speccing out and buying a PC. I'm a photographer looking for a machine to process large amounts of photos as well as to take care of everyday domestic duties, (internet browsing, accounts etc though domestic chores would be a hell of a bonus!). Not really...
