After a long process of deciding (through me biding my time and saving!) I am delighted with my new laptop. It's as fast as I could hope for and games are steaming along. I'm playing Far Cry 4 on the highest settings and getting around 30fps.

I was initially worried when I got emails saying it would be over a month before the order would be completed by it was dispatched 7days after placing the order and arrived, in very sensible packaging, the next day. It was set up and ready to go and I've had no problems with it at all.

The pictures on the website don't do the look of the laptop justice. It's much less rectangular and has much more of a sheen in reality. The function keys are very useful and varied, much more so than the HP I previously owned.

Definitely recommend pcspecialist from start to finish. Excellent work. Thank you! IMG_3623.jpgIMG_3622.jpgIMG_3621.jpg

Nice I recently ordered the defiance too but with a 980m instead, did you get the free intel and nvidia games promo when you got the laptop?

Nice laptop. I was almost ordering one but remembered I come here for an ultrabook :(.

Do people actually want stickers? Removing them is the second thing I do after powering on. Reminds me of chaved up cars with Ripspeed stickers from Halfords.

Mine came off a little after 2 months of usage so removing them from the beginning seems like a good idea :D
