Hello everyone,
I'm here to write a review on my new, and even the first, notebook.
I apologize in advance if there will be some English mistakes, because I'm not English but but I'm Italian.
The reason why.
The first question asked me: are you sure to trust a company that you do not know and which by the way is not even in Italy?
The answer I gave before buying it: no I'm not sure.
However, after months of research, I decided to buy from PCSpecialist and I'm glad.
I looked for a notebook from November (my birthday is in November), I had even thought of buying it from America but increasingly high costs have always made me give up, until my cousin advised me PCSpecialist.
It took a month to put up my mind but I finally made the step to buy the pc, what I think logical to think given its cost.
Now, if someone asked me: are you sure you trust PCSpecialist, my answer would be yes.
There are a lot of pros.
What I can not find, are the cons, given the excellent product quality and reliability of the Company.
In a word?
Excellent.

As soon as the PC has arrived, I entered a Samsung SSD 850 Evo 250GB that I had already previously purchased for 70 €.
For the components used, I found only ever higher prices of 1600 €, in fact I'm still in disbelief I found it for € 1,361 rising to 1,431 if I add the SSD to me purchased separately.
The webcam is good for me because the little use.
The screen is matte so does not reflect, good for me that I program.
I love the keyboard, has the same configuration as the one I use for the desktop pc, the keys are good, the pressure is optimal and respond very well. Then I love the fact that it is backlit, so is not a problem to see the buttons without lights in the evening.
Usually I can not stand the pad and I prefer to use the mouse but I must say that this did not make me still pass the mouse.
I found only one thing wrong, I do not know if it is a defect or done on purpose; the power button do a kind of click when you press it to turn on the PC.
The speackers, to be a notebook, are good, and the sound blaster audio program really improve much.
The PC has a modern and slim design, just what I wanted.
Opening it, I could also see the installation, and can say that it was done a really nice job.
I think I've created a PC with the right balance between power and price. How about?

There are a lot of pros.
- Very low prices.
- Friendly staff and amenable.
- And despite the distance, speed.
