So I ordered my first ever gaming laptop last Wednesday and with fast track delivery. It will finally arrive today just 8 days after I placed my order.
Technical Specs:
Chassis & Display Optimus Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM) 8GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
Hard Disk 1TB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)
With a few warranties, delivery options and fast-track build time it came to a very decent £806 inc. VAT
I did not select an Operating System but will be installing my own copy of Windows 8 Pro once it arrives.
Review Part 1 of 3: Building (8/10)
The service I received from PCSpecialist was exactly what I would have expected. No hiccups, quick build and exactly what I paid for. I did have one query that I sent via email and received a less-than-helpful response the next day but it worked itself out in the end so I'm not too bothered. They were very quick to let me know when my order had reached the next stage of production and there was an update on it's status just about every day. My one gripe is that fast-track build time is a little pricy! I have no idea how much extra it costs them to do this but £40 does seem a little steep. It's not ridiculous though so I'm happy to pay it because everything else is great value. Nothing more to say really - very good and would use again!
