Hi, I can't decide whether to have the i3-3110m or the i5-3210m in the laptop. The difference is around £34 but is it worth it? I know the i5 has turbo boost but will that often come into effect and can i expect it to give me a reasonable performance increase? The laptop itself comes with the...

Is this laptop no longer available? I was looking to purchase one towards the end of this year, but it has gone from the website within the last day. The optimus IV costs about £50 more, and I don't feel that is worth it for an extra 100mhz on the gpu. (The only difference between gt650m and...

Hi, It started roughly three days ago, i left my computer idling whilst downloading GW2, came back and it wasn't responsive and the screen was covered in grey lines. I rebooted and it went back to normal, so i thought maybe its nothing. Today I was playing the GW2 stress test, i alt+f4'd out of...

I'm looking at both the Genesis IV and the Optimus III. I selected the i3-3110m on both, going to the i5-3210m on the genesis IV increases price by £23 Doing the same on the Optimus III makes the price increase by £34 I'm just wondering, is there any particular reason for this? Thanks.

PC Won't Boot Into Windows I've just moved my pc from my girlfriends house over to my house as I was forced to stay there for a week. Computer was running fine at hers and set it up here a couple of hours ago. When i first started it up the pc booted fine, i got a POST beep (single beep) and...

http://www.fortunetechnology.co.uk/# I thought things seemed a bit fishy when i looked at the website ( was searching for clevo resalers) Scrolled to the bottom and voila, PC Specialist LTD. I'm sick of coming across websites like this when i'm just looking for another clevo reseller :(

I've happily had my pc since 16th december, no faults bar one. I have thw Asus p8z68-v lx mobo and the usb 3.0 ports do not register devices at all (Not really the point of my thread, but if anyone has any ideas, giz a shout) I was wondering, if my pc did ever break ( I forgot to get silver...

I have the said motherboard above, my screen is connected to my gpu, whenever my pc starts, I hear the beep for POST, then press delete at what I can only assume is the right time. The screen then just shows black with a green cursor in the middle, nothing else loads. I think the system has...

I have been looking up online for reviews about DPD, all I can say is the reviews aren't great. There are some reviews from people who are purchased computers from PCS. I have been tracking my order online throughout today, the tracking started working at about 15:00 today, then after 2 hours it...

I know the information bit specifies 24 - 48 hours, but out of curiosity, what sort of times did you experience? Also, it says it depends on specification, could anyone be more specific as to what this means?

I know the delivery notes specifies that it can't be delivered to a neighbours house, i'll just double check for the sake of it. What if my neighbour in the adjoining house to me (semi detached) is my grandad, can I specify that if no-one is in, he can take responsibility for it? If all else...

Can anyone provide me a link to which brand HD6950 it is? like powercolor/MSI etc. I am just curious as it doesn't specify in the list, unless it is actually a reference model?

My computer from PCS is now in its 6th working day, the 5th of which is pre-production. I received an email today noting that the Intel Core i5-2500k is out of stock and overdue since 30-11-11. Is there any guidelines to times when this processor will be in stock, and also, will my computer...
