I recently bought the inexpensive Gemini for my wife (As her computer requirements are minimal.) followed by the 16 " Lafite for my photo editing as a main requirement. The Gemini is fine considering the low cost but the Lafite has been a pleasure to use. Prior to purchasing from PCSpecialist, I had a rather expensive HP Probook which I had hoped would last for a long time. It did not (cheap casing buckled at the hinges and eventually would not recharge at all.) and thus now remembered as a waste of money. I subsequently tried PCSpecialist and have been very impressed. The Lafite laptop feels sturdy and the keyboard plus glass touchpad are both a pleasure to use. Therefore, this laptop gets full marks from me and can be recommended. I will most certainly consider this make again in the (hopefully not too near.) future.
