The PC Specialist Defiance IV is a large, subtle gaming laptop that eschews extravagant features for solid specifications and a low price – but can this £1,399 machine outpace rivals that offer more glamour?
It certainly gets off to a good start – at least when it comes to the components. The GTX 1070 is one of the world’s most popular graphics chips, and it’s paired with a familiar Core i7 processor. There’s the usual 16GB of memory alongside an SSD and a hard disk.
It’s got a 17.3in screen, too, so it’s got the size advantage over many smaller notebooks – and the screen can rattle through the frames at 120Hz, which means gaming will appear smoother than on panels that rely on lesser refresh rates.

Low carbon economy is here.
cool specs look okay
Gonna have to install a hard drive or second large cappacity SSD for main storage of game libraries. 256GB aint jack for storage space anymore.
uuuugh its a laptop !
This is one of many laptops based on the Clevo PA70HS chassis.
96c on a 7700hq? Looks like it needs a thermal paste replacement…
Didn’t you read? There’s already a 1TB HDD.
Must be a typo on front page then. Under storage in the list of specifications it only mentions the SSD not the hard drive.
I can’t find the laptop with these specs at the price given on here (£1,399). I have put the specs into the website and it is coming out at £1,544. Have I got it wrong or has the review?
It was me. The link wasn’t working correctly on my mobile device.
