This is the third mid-to-high-range gaming laptop I've bought from PCSpecialist. I pretty much will not buy from any other retailer, because I know that anything I buy from PCSpecialist will be sturdy, powerful, and built to last. Both the other computers I bought lasted for about 5 years, and that was only because of a couple of unfortunate accidents on my behalf - even after 5 years of heavy usage, they were still very strong and capable, handling most modern releases at almost maximum graphics settings, and could have lasted much longer. Build time and dispatch has always been quick - delivered within about 2 to 3 weeks from order - with lots of helpful updates about each step of the process. The box it comes in is huge, because they really don't hold back on the protective packaging to keep it safe. If you want a computer you're going to be using every day for 7 years or more, I definitely think PCSpecialist is the right choice.
