Thank you - yes, I had totally missed that. Not been looking for a PC for the past 3-4 years, so well out of date!! I will definitely hold on I think. Thanks again

Hi there - looking for a new laptop, and would really appreciate any advice. Primary use will be gaming (not too many FPS's, but some moderately heavy processing and screen updates - hosting Gloomhaven, Fantasy Grounds Unity, many strategy games etc.) along with a fair amount of business use...

Hi there - thanks for the above. However, is it possible to post a link to the downloads? From my account, all I can see is the OS system image and a W10_numlock_fix zip file, dating from 2016. Nothing for gaming centre or control centre... Any ideas?

Hi all. Just purchased this laptop (Elimina Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED ) , and it looks as if the options to control the LED lighting does not work (or at least the functions keys for it do not). Having done some checking, apparently there is a utility on the supplied disk I...

Perfect - many thanks! Cheers!

Hi there - thanks, good point on the Bull Guard. As regards "educational", think later years primary (age 9-11), with remote learning. As such, office tools, low-end coding tools, Teams etc. Cheers

Hi all. I am looking for a new Laptop (need to be a laptop so it can move between households) for my daughter to use - mainly educational for her (but also some gaming for me). WIll not be mainly used for games.... but the capacity to run stuff reasonably well is a real bonus. I have a budget...

Thank you all. For info - the system I am replacing is my wife's 7 years old desktop.... The one with the SSD is my own 1-year old PC (which I am keeping away from her in case she "acquires" it :-) ) Cheers

Thanks - looks nice. The 16GB of RAM looks good - but is there any benefit to going to 32GB now? Apart from blowing the budget of course :-) I use a 1TB SSD on my own machine - you have suggested a 500GB SSD, and 1 TB SATA. I (assume!!) the the SSD is for the OS, the SATA for the games etc. ...

Thank you for the reply - appreciated. At the moment, for now the monitor is fixed. The type of games we like to play do not normally require incredible resolutions being thrown around on screen - we play mainly something like Guild Wars 2 (where in big fights there are a lot of graphics to...

Hmmm - an old one; not too worried about 4K levels. BenQ BL2400..... Cheers Paul

Hi there. Looking to put together a new desktop, price range £800-£1,200, aimed at gaming plus some art work (but the driver will be mainly the games :-) ). Obviously, at that price, not looking for leading/bleeding edge, but just advice on best bang for buck. Agnostic about AMD Vs Intel, but...

Thanks for the replies! The monitor is 2560*1440 BENQ (about 2 year old now - not got the specific model details to hand). As regards usage, the bulk of work will be simple Office stuff, but just to confuse matters, there will sometimes be some image manipulation (photo level stuff, not...

Hi all. Looking for suggestions on the below, and where the main pinch points are (e.g. wasted money going for "x" or "by spending just £20-00 more you can get a 30% improvement" sort of thing). Budget will need to be around £1,400 - £1,500 or so. Thanks for any suggestions! Case PCS GENESIS...

Thanks all - now ordered!! All I have to now is wait..... tick tock, tick tock :-)

Aha! Thank you - that makes more sense :-) Righto, off to use the recoil series.... Incidentally, one of the reason I use you guys is because of this sort of advice - much much appreciated! A

I am not up to speed on latest graphics cards... this was a the default one that came with the base laptop. Perhaps I started in a bad place ;-) What would you suggest?

Thank you!! I have been looking at the options.... Allowing for an additional spend of around £100-00, is this wisely spent as attached? I am looking at enhanced support (dead pixel insurance, better cooling options) Other than the bag ( :-) ), the main differences seems to be the battery and...

Hi all. Finally in a position to hit the button and buy.... Does anyone have any time to check the above spec and see if it is still current? As mentioned at the time, I am looking for a good general use/games machine with a budget of around £1,700-£1, 800 with a good sized screen. I have...

Mind you.... one of things that makes me chuckle over buying a PC.... there is *always* something new just on the horizon :) . I used to tell myself it was less important when I had the desktop, as I could just swap components out (new graphic cards, mainly). Not so much with a laptop I suspect...
