I wasn't originally going to get this laptop as I thought the outside design was pretty plain and I liked the look of the Vortex 15.6 inch more but I am actually very happy with my computer! I like the matte design and the backlighting customisation is to die for! I have a load of steam games that run really great on the computer and it is just what I need for digital art and programming too! it is fast, powerful and runs smoothly. The guys at PCSpecialist were extremely helpful and it came within the first 10 days of ordering it!

Thank you, and if I ever needed more upgrades or a new computer, I know where to come!
