Hi Folks,
I would like to give a little feedback on my new machine and the experience of working with PC Specialist to design and deliver the final product.
I was looking to replace a ten year old gaming laptop as I was a big fan of the Metro series and wanted to play the latest release Metro Exodus. After finding PCS on line and lots of very positive feedback in terms of happy customers and positive reviews. After all, spending £2K plus on anything is always a big decision, especially without being able to handle the item first. I ordered the below specs.
After placing the order, I had some second thoughts about the GPU, and wondered if I should go for the 2080 Max Q model. I emailed tech support over a weekend and had very prompt responses (from Michael Doran and Rhys Tracey) providing info, stats and even links to youtube about the merits of the different GPU's to put my mind at ease that I had specced the right one for me. I was so impressed with the comprehensive support from the order and thence all the way through until delivery. It made spending such money a much less fraught business.
When the machine arrived, around 13 working days after ordering (bearing in mind this was ordered and built in the middle of a global pandemic) I was so impressed with the quality and thin-ness of the machine. I've only just scratched the surface of what it can do in terms of gaming, but it runs Metro Exodus at high settings with RTX and DLSS etc on. I'll give it a few months use and report back.
Overall, I don't think I've had a more reassuring, transparent and responsive purchase than this one.
Fell free to ask questions or give an opinion on my build.
Thanks Folks
