After weeks of searching for a laptop for graphics design I chose to go with the Optimus VIII from PC specialist because it was recommend to me by a friend of mine and i must say I am very impressed . It outplays all of its competitors from Dell, HP, ect. in both spec and value for money !

The build quality of this machine is amazing , i chose to go with the i7-7700Hq intel processor with the 500GB samsung evo SSD and the start up time and program launch time is outstandingly quick .

I decided to test its limits a bit by opening some of the most demanding graphics programs and games and running them all at once as well as multiple web browser tabs and Youtube videos and the machine didn't even so much as blink !

One thing that i think could definitely improve is the speakers in the laptop which are pretty poor quality but not really a problem for me as i am mostly hooked up to external speakers .

If you are looking for a laptop for intensive graphics work or gaming , PC specialists Optimus VIII is the laptop for you .
