I have been using my new laptop for just over 1 week and am exceptionally pleased with it.

Build quality of the chassis & display is great. It is robust & will withstand frequent use. Boot up time is exceptionally quick with the M.2 SSD drive being used to run Win 10 Pro & all other programs. RGB backlit keyboard adds a really nice touch & attracts attention to the laptop. The 4K screen and GTX 1080 GPU provides exceptional quality graphics – this has to be my favourite feature. Streaming videos is effortless with the AC1535 wireless card. Working and gaming on this laptop is an absolute pleasure.

I can highly recommend this laptop and PC Specialist to anyone considering buying a good quality laptop. I like the choice of components available, all from reputable manufacturers.

Thank you to PC Specialist for doing such a fantastic job.

Kind Regards,
Dave Jones

Great to hear all is well, and I know PCS will appreciate the review :)

Forum members often ask about CPU and GPU temperatures, especially under gaming loads. If you have the time to measure those/comment, how do you find temps (and the laptop's fan noise)?
