PCSpecialist Reviews 

Todo perfecto, hasta el servicio telefonico tambien. No doy cinco estrellas porque el tiempo que tardan me parece un poco excesivo, un mes.

Perfect, even the telephone service. Haven't given five stars because delivery time seems a bit excessive, took a month.

GOOD FRIENDLY AND INFORMATIVE SERVICE! All supplied and delivered safely
And works just as designed... A very trusted supplier...

I ordered a fairly high specification gaming PC for my son. The PC Specialist website is well organised and easy to use. Where my selection of one component led to incompatibility with another, I was alerted and offered alternatives. Even though my choice included the new and hard-to-obtain RTX3080 GPU, PC Specialist were able to complete my order in good time. Delivery from Wakefield, UK to Costa Teguise, Lanzarote was swift and problem free (even though we pay IGIC here and not VAT).
In conclusion, I am very happy with my decision to use PC Specialist as the source for my son's new gaming computer.

The wifi doesn't work with hdmi cable connected, I'm trying to contact your support but I've only got one answer since the PC arrived. Apart from this the PC is great, I'm just really sad that I can't connect my display to it.

PCSpecialist are incredibly professional when ordering from them. I recieved regular emails about my order and it's status as well as helpful information regarding how to set it up correctly. It arrived in great condition and the packaging ensured that it would definitely not get damaged. Can't recommend them enough. They are amazing!

Although the process took longer than usual due to the pandemic, they really made the experience super nice. Regular updates, always responding to my chats and emails quickly and on point. Every step was very smooth and the final product was great. Finally their price is more competitive with everyone else I saw.

Great experience and customer service. The process of customizing, ordering, and tracking the shipping of my laptop was easy. All steps were clear.
I received the wrong power cable, but this was quickly fixed, and I received the new, correct one a few days later.

I got a pretty good laptop for a fair price. The main objections I have are that the exterior is entirely plastic and the fans are louder than in any laptop I have ever seen.

This was my second time buying a new laptop from PCSpecialist, because I like that I can customise the laptop as much as possible and upgrade until my budget runs out. I checked against the laptop I built against 9 or 10 different websites and the one I had built on PCspecialist for 1600 euros had the same specs and parts as 2400 euro laptops. My previous laptop with them has lasted over 8 years so I know they are durable too. It did take them a few weeks to build the laptop because a part wasn't in stock but once it was delivered it arrived really quickly even internationally. The only annoying thing was that I couldn't add a webcam because they were out of stock, because really you should be able to purchase it as part of the order and then they should just send it once it's back in stock, makes more sense to me. They also don't seem to be nearly as cheap as they were 8 years ago but it does seem like I am getting bang for my buck nontheless.

My 3rd PC. Two in UK and one now in Spain. Support is very good and build is professional. I'll buy my 4th PC from PCSpecialist.

El equipo es un ultranote de 14". Varias cosas negativas:

*Las opciones de la bios(EFI) son muy limitadas (por no decir nulas)
*Lo pedí vacío y me vino con un trial de windows 10 que autoarrancaba y me dio guerra.
*El sistema de enganche de la batería es odioso.
*La placa busca el firmware uefi por narices en EFI/BOOT y eso me dio guerra.

Me cargué todas las particiones y las rehice de nuevo, hice una instalación de una hardened gentoo (compilando desde las fuentes) en disco ssd con /home en disco sata, todas ellas cifradas. La compilación se hizo en un sistema tmpfs (/var/tmp/portage en disco en RAM para proteger el disco SSD). Compiló el sistema completo en unos días (incluidos libreoffice y firefox entre otros).

En resumen el rendimiento es muy bueno. El soporte de hardware en un núcleo 4.19 es total aunque hay que meter el firmware wifi (driver iwlwifi y el ucode 9260) en el núcleo (o sino compilarlo por narices como módulo para que encuentre el dichoso firmware).

Se echa de menos que se pudiera coger una batería de 9 celdas, con la cpu al 100% de utilización (compilando) la vida de la batería es de 1 hora 30 minutos aproximadamente, sin hacer mucha cosa alcanza las 5-6 horas con las laptop-mode-tools configuradas y corriendo.

La 8ª generación de intel aunque parchea cosas de Meltdown y Spectre, etc... todavía depende demasiado de los parches del núcleo para solventarlos. De los 12 tests que hice del sistema una vez instalado solo 3 los solventó directamente el microcódigo de la cpu, otras 3 se hizo a través de instruciones de la cpu usadas por el núcleo y el resto fueron enteramente a través de parches del núcleo linux (es decir, parches de software con pérdida de rendimiento). Todavía no he probado la virtualización, ni virtio y passthrough.

Sin embargo sí he hecho el paxtest con rsbac (y MPROTECT) y los resultados son tremendamente buenos:

A very good experience. This page is amazing, I've bought a PC here for my father and he is extremely happy. Thank you!

Excellent price and shipping service. Will repeat!
