Proteus IV Gaming Laptop Review

Excellent system. The build quality and design of the laptop is amazing and it looks very stylish. Chrome finish looks good and keeps the laptop cool.

Delivery was very fast and well packaged. The PC Specialist staff were very helpful with advice on how to build it right for me.

The laptop has 4 programmable buttons on it with also buttons to turn on additional fan and turn keyboard and track-pad lights on and off.

Overall I am extremely happy with my system.

With this spec I play games such as PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds, DayZ, Divinity Original Sin 2 with no trouble at all..

I took delivery of my Proteus IV 15.6" on friday, pretty much the same spec as yours, just a bit smaller. Its brilliant!
The 230Watt power brick, was much bigger than I was expecting though (not that thats a problem though)

Nice one. I absolutely love this system. Such a good choice.

Hey I also just ordered the Proteus IV and I was wondering if you could tell me how the temperatures hold up during extreme gaming? Also how do the speakers perform in your opinion?
