I've been a PCSpecialist customer for years, and have always been a fan of having a nice and strong laptop for gaming.
I suppose this is a bit of a review of all the machines I've owned, along with my first impressions of my new laptop!
First and foremost, to this day I have the first laptop I ordered back in 2015, it's way past its prime, but there's still life in the old girl yet and even now it can run some games rather respectably.
In 2020, I ordered a laptop and unfortunately, I was quite unlucky with it, earlier this year it gave up entirely, rip in peace Vyper series, you did your best. Nothing and no one to blame, it was simply one of those things, nature of the beast and all that.
Onto my latest and greatest, the Recoil! After being stung by my last purchase I was quite careful about what I ordered and went for the maximum warranty available - would hate for what happened to my last laptop to happen again!
Chassis & Display
Recoil Series: 17" Matte QHD 240Hz sRGB 100% LED Widescreen (2560x1600)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i9 24 Core Processor 13900HX (5.4GHz Turbo)
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair 4800MHz SODIMM DDR5 (2 x 16GB)

1st M.2 SSD Drive

I'm not by any means an expert on components, but I'm pretty sure that's all that really matters for anyone interested, anyway, to sum the laptop up in a word? BEAUTIFUL.
It runs excellently, handling the latest titles with ease, and I absolutely love my new laptop. The build quality particularly on this new model is really impressive, it looks and feels premium to me. The price was more than competitive, beating out other places by a good few hundred and for the specs I went for, that was definitely important too.
I'd always recommend PCSpecialist, proof is in the pudding - I'm a repeat customer and even with a less than ideal experience on one of my orders, I'm still more than happy to share my experience and say that you're in for something good if you do decide to order from them.
