Absolutely love this product! so far so good, it's the best laptop I have ever owned, the last time I used a computer it cost me more than this laptop to build and the 1080ti was just released! So a huge step up in performance. Across the board it's lovely, feels like a MacBook Pro to type and use however it's not! so it's got that quality feel about it. I paired mine with a SteelSeries rival 600 mouse and dominate in video games once more!

So far so good!

Delivery: Paid extra for the fastest options on build/delivery. A friend of mine ordered his prebuild laptop through another retailer just after my order had been received by PC specialist and I received mine before him! - Obviously the specs of this laptop assisted in that, by running through diagnostics faster than otherwise.

Tips:
Would always recommend 32gb ram as a minimum.
Pay for those upgrades now rather than later. You want to future proof yourself on such a large investment.

Star Rating - 5/5 10/10
Absolutely fantastic overall!

Totally agree with you Dani, about maxing out as much as you can afford to do up front, I learned that with my previous laptop also built by PCS, just didn't put enough memory into it.

Just wondering have you used the button next to the power button yet? It appears to be a "turbo" style button.

This is the exact model I'm looking at - what sort of games do you play and how do they run?

Very late reply sorry, but I wasn't notified seemingly about your post.

Currently have been playing Sniper Elite 5, also Anna's Quest & The Turing Test.

They all run very well, but the main one being SE5, is running very hot maxing out at 95 degrees on the GPU and about 88 degrees on the CPU. Now I'm wondering whether I will need water cooling for high-end games, although, I have an underneath cooling fan (5 actually) going full blast it's still not enough.

I've ordered the Recoil 17. Similar spec to yours. I've got the 4070 GPU and 64GB DDR 5 RAM and the same SSD.

I've been advised to install the modular Liquid Cooling to get the most out of it, as the chassis gets really hot, despite using cooling pads.

I've already got my own cooling pad and I use it constantly when playing games, however using HWINFO64 to see how much it cooled my laptop down, in particular, the CPU I find it reduces the heat from 37 down to 34 at best, so yes when I'm plying high-end games I doubt the heat reduction is worthy of using it, but for me, I will continue to use it because an extra 3 helps for now.
