Here's my review of the Defiance II and my experience buying from PC Specialist!

When I ordered, I was given an estimated time of 11 - 13 working days and my laptop was built in 12 working days.

Intel® Core™ i7 Quad Core Processor 6820HK

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M
250GB Samsung 850 2.5" EVO SSD

The laptop is super fast and boost up in seconds, overall I'm happy with the actual performance.

On to the design of the laptop, the chassis is a matte finish and has a gun-metal sheen to it. The build of the laptop feels solid and well built, although the bezel feels like it's cheap plastic. The laptop is a fingerprint magnet! Anywhere you touch, whether it's the top, bottom, keyboard etc, your prints will be everywhere. It's funny though, that the fingerprint reader isn't that great in comparison to the readers on smartphones nowadays. Having said this, I'm happy with the overall look and design of the laptop. It's clean, simple and without branding.

Overall, the laptop is super fast and plays game with ease and feels very solidly built with a simple and sleek finish.
