I had a really good experience with pc specialist!
I saved a lot of money, paying around 1000 euro including shipping what i couldn't buy with 1100 here in italy from a similar company... i don't even say what i have saved by taking a pc specialist pc and not a asus, msi and other major brands with the same components.
The shopping experience was really interesting, there is a lot of choice in components, and they build up and dispatched my pc in a week, accordingly to the predicted times.
The only bad thing, but it's not pc specialist fault, was the delivery, took an entire week from the UK to italy and I think that for 40 Euros is really too much time.
Now the important thing, the PC itself.
I opened it as it arrived because I had to add a RAM bank and i encountered no problems with it, but i had to replace the shipped HDD with another one i had but I've found it too difficult to unmount it, due to the optical drive which leaves no space for the screwdriver, so if you want to replace the HDD you have to unmount the optical drive first. I didn't want to unmount half my pc so i decided to keep the original HDD.
I didn't buy a windows license but the PC came with windows 10 already installed and the desktop picture said they had to install it to test the pc and that i had to activate it in a month. Great thing, means they really test the pc and they spared my the install time.
On perfomance the pc works flawlessly, it's really fast and performs well with the games, i'm really happy.
About the screen, yes, it suffers bleeding in the upper corners as i've read in some other review but that's not a major con for me, as you can't see it until the screen is black.
Apart from that the screen is really excellent, really better than the usual full hd screen you can find in other laptops.
So i'm really happy with my PC Specialist experience and i hope things keep going well
