To test today, we are putting the machine through a variety of ‘real world’ situations, mirroring the real world usage of a potential customer.
One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with screen brightness two notches from maximum.
Second as a businessman, with screen brightness around half way. Wireless was enabled. A mixture of checking, answering emails using Microsoft Office and editing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.
Lastly as a gamer, playing Watchdogs until the machine turned itself off.
Battery life under general ‘business' settings is strong as the Nvidia GPU will disable and the Core i7 isn't tasked close to the limits. When tasked under more intensive situations the battery will be drained much quicker.
well, had a look at it, and it seems that price is a load of crap.. thats the price for the base unit with the dual core pentium CPU, nnd the basic ram/HDD setup. -_- was about to put in an order.
Click the reviews tag at the top of the pcspecialist page and you will find this exact spec for £749. I’ve used this company several times and have always been very happy with the service and the product. Hope this helps
I’ve had this laptop (but a higher end config) since 2014 now. The chassis is garbage. PC specialist have been nice enough to change it for me twice now but, basically, you get a lot of cracks from the very sharp corners around the screen and keyboard as they are stress concentrators. The internal hardware is real good, however and PC Specialists have been quite good with customer care.
I’ve also got this laptop. Yep I had the chassis changed too, funnily enough I also bought in 2014. I am having continuing problems with overheating, have swapped the thermal paste no end of times, think the heat pipes might be busted or something.
