Proteus VII Review - Bought yesterday

[Yeldo]

Hi guys I have purchase this last laptop as I was running out of time,

Unfortunately I couldnt get hold of anybody at PC Specialist to help me I imagine because they must be very busy and understaffed.


Could you just let me know your feedback? I don't really mind having spent a lot of money in it I just wonder if its a decent laptop that will be able to run things fine without too many issues, I couldnt find a lot of feedback a bout Proteus so I hope its not a bad chassis...

It should be fine but what are you planning on running

It should be fine but what are you planning on running

Mainly just games - recent ones, skyrim, apex legends some high end ones...

I know its not a high-end desktop but do you think I should be running current games fine?

Worst case scenario I can just run the games in average settings

 

[Luffy]

AMD would have been the better choice and you could've had better items for the same price but you can be running those games. If they are slow, blame your CPU!

In all honesty, I would love your laptop to be in my house. But you probably won't be playing games to the 2070's full advantage.

Hope it helps!
