PC Specialist's custom spec service allowed me to design *exactly* the laptop to meet my usage needs so I didn't end up paying over the odds for features I didn't want (like a huge graphics card) as I would have done with an 'off the peg' machine; and I could add things that often don't come as standard and which you have to upgrade yourself (like a faster HDD, a second SSD and loads of memory). I could follow the progress of my order all the way through build and testing on their excellent website and, with expedited ordering, my laptop was with me within days. The build quality appears excellent and operation so far has been trouble free. The laptop performs superbly and, because it came with a clean install of Windows 8 I didn't have to spend the usual frustrating day or two cleaning it of bloatware before getting it set up to my liking. On both quality of service and value for money, I would recommend PC Specialist to anyone.
