First time customer but had always heard good things, finally built a laptop for work and its been nothing short of perfect. Its spec actually exceeds my computer and yet its so light and thin. Top quality service.

The PC is great. it is built to a great quality and the ability to see what phase of production it is in is brilliant. pricing is fair and is around the same as it would cost to build it yourself.

Laptop delivered on time, and I was kept fully updated on its progress while it was being built and checked. It was securely packaged when delivered, and for the price (£700) easily out-performs any similarly-priced machine I could have picked "off the shelf". The laptop is fast and easily customisable with a first-class screen and battery life. And the lack of any annoying bloatware is a massive plus. The only downside - and this is purely down to personal preference - is that I'm not a fan of the old-school number pad to the right of the keyboard, which takes up unnecessary space and makes me type in a way that feels off-centre, so sometimes I hit the wrong keys. Other than this minor quibble, I couldn't be happier.

The PC arrived well packaged, and apart from a small mark on the case (not from transit it looks) everything seems good. I have been too busy to set it up fully yet, but 1st impressions are that it seems like a well built machine.

My son had previously ordered a PC from PC Specialist and we were both impressed, so I had no hesitation in doing the same. The ability to exactly tailor the specification combined with a really neat and tidy build quality plus delivery just 5 days after placing the order. impressive. Now that the PC is up and running the performance is everything I hoped for.

The ordering went really well . Did my research about the CPUs, GPUs , motherboard and RAM sticks. It clearly displayed whether there would be a problem and you have the option to rectify it . Like my AIO Cooler and the colours that I brought with it , looks like a beauty. Thanks PCSPECIALIST.

Service was excellent, from order receipt to delivery was prompt and a query that I had was answered in a couple of hours - so both pleased and impressed

This was not my first purchase from PC Specialist, so a new purchase indicates my satisfaction generally. As for this purchase, the website made selecting components simple and once complete made recommendations as to any better component combinations or over specs with the option to accept or continue with my choice. Ordering was easy and I was kept informed of build progress which was completed on the promised schedule and delivered with out damage despite being delayed by courier as it was despatched at the start of a bank holiday weekend. The PC was easily set up. I had one hitch with some installed software purchased that refused to accept the authorisation code but this was quickly sorted out with one phone call. The PC is now fully operational, is performing above my expectations and is whisper quiet, even when working hard rendering HD video. Am I satisfied? Most definitely.

Great to be able to customise everything and for a better price than buying on the High Street. It was delivered within the 10 days quoted. I will use again

I have two PCs at home, and I make a point of replacing them at five yearly intervals. Drives don't last, software needs upgrading, and the machines get 'tired'. Nothing special, just something good for browsing and MS office, but they need to cope with up to 30 open tabs in Chrome! I do look around each time I buy, but PC Specialist always seem to be the best price offering, and more importantly they allow extensive customization, so I can easy downgrade the processor and upgrade the memory, change the drive size and type, and add in only the extras I want. Great website, easy to customize and purchase. Order to build process is good - generally a few days wait in pre-production, then wizz - from build to test to dispatch in 24 hours. Arrive in good shape (well packaged). I ordered two identical machines, but not at the same time (really do not like having to move everything to a new machine, so I always do mine first, then only when I have figured out how MS have made the task difficult this time around, and how to fix the issues, do I go ahead with the next one). My PC Specialist bugbear is that always, always I get two slightly different machines! This time - different integrated video cards, the same network card but operating slightly differently, and the pack of 'bits' had different numbers of spare screws. As my first machine did NOT have HDMI port, just a DP port, I had to buy a new DP cable which delayed things a bit. Down to the 'parts to hand' at the time and whoever builds it on the production line I guess. Then I bought a spare DP cable for the next machine, and hey - it had HDMI. Oh well... Like the new machine - so light (switch mode power supply, solid state memory drive, no need for DVD writer, 98% of the case is fresh air). Really would like a smaller case, but the fashion today is for BIG ONES. Something a third the size would do, and I would not keep banging my knees on it. And the problem? MS office 2021 as a digital licence. Oh what a palaver! The good: - PC Specialist have a responsive and available customer help team who were able to sort out the 'binding' and activate the licence, both times. A bit variable as it needs a back office boffin to whack MS and get the licence bound to Windows 11, then a first line technician to hack into the machine, run the update scripts to unload the 365 stuff, reload office, activate the licence, and get it all working. First time took 24 hours, second time all done on one call. Not PCS fault, but clearly MS have it in for those of us who want to buy the software licence once rather than pay annually to 'rent' it. Next time I'm going to give in and a) load all my personal data to the cloud b) use MS account on the machine (almost impossible to turn off) and c) rent MS office. OK MS you win. Mind you - that all sounds rather like having a Chromebook and not a MS Windows based PC. Hmmmmm. Maybe I will see you again in five years PCS, maybe not...

Order my new desktop pc which was delayed due to an error which needed testing, as a tester im fine with that and like the idea that PC's are tested before leaving your depot. Desktop gets despatched and delivered, no problem. I unpackage the desktop PC, check everything looks Ok, power it on and the noise coming from the PC was ridiculous, incredibly loud like a motorbike. As per the instructions I can't reboot until Windows 11 is setup so spent the setup with this ridiculous loud noise. Reboot and the noise goes away but now the PC sounds like a really loud hoover. It's completely unsuitable and I'm very disappointed that I get a desktop PC that is unusable. I log a complaint which took two emails from myself before this was acknowledged and Im now 8 days on since receiving this PC and all ive had from PCSpecialist is an email confirming my complaint which I forced you to provide me. I spent £1800K on a PC that was faulty on delivery, no decent customer service yet and I've no idea when I can expect this dealt with. I've been using desktop PC's since 1990, i rely on my PC at home for work and personal interests, now im stuck using an old laptop till this is rectified. Massively disappointed. Attached are the two videos showing the initial setup noise and the hoover noise is makes when sitting idle with nothing running. How would i be able to use Teams on a PC that's so noisey?

Do not buy from this company. After getting a high spec laptop it didnt work properly. It takes them 2 weeks to process it and then they dont give a refund if not happy. You have to then get the same laptop back as they say they have fixed it. They dont test the laptop properly as they would have seen the issues. They mis sell in the description. I am now having to take this to a small claims court. I had to speak and correspond with 5 different people and only after 1 week did the person from the refunds contact me only to tell me that I cannot have a refund
