    PCSPECIALIST Gaming gsync monitor.

    The Iiyama is a 34in 1440p ultrawide 144hz screen. Same as the BenQ and LG you mentioned but for £400 instead of near £600. Aren't they? IPS screen as well instead of the VA panels of the other 2. Iiyama also do a curved VA version for about the same price as the IPS one.

    If you're going the finance route maybe wait a short while till the rtx3060 gpu is announced to see what the price is?

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming gsync monitor.

    Well with the new cards and the new generation of consoles being released 4K will become much more popular so will probably come down in price or else the 1440p stuff will do as everyone will be looking for pretty pictures.

    PCSPECIALIST Is the Nova 15.6" compatible with 3200 MHz memory?

    I did ask PCS this question before ordering my Nova as a future upgrade question and the answer was no, 2666mhz was the max the mobo could take. If it can do faster then that would be a nice bonus.

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming gsync monitor.

    Iiyama have a 34" 1440p 144hz IPS superwide for £400. It's gsync compatible AFAIK. There have been some reports of QI issues so maybe get a pixel check warranty with it...

    PCSPECIALIST Should I return laptop and wait for rtx 3000 release?

    I had that dilemma to as the Nvidia announcement came a couple days after I ordered my Nova but figured it's going to be at least 6-9mths before manufacturers catch up, espcially a custom builder and the cost and stock levels will probably be high and low respectively.

    PCSPECIALIST 1080p 240hz or 1440p 144hz?

    I had the same dilemma when I got my new laptop and decided to settle on 1440p for the extra pixels. I've just ordered this Dell for £340 delivered (there are some discount codes floating around)...

    PCSPECIALIST Nova - Brief review

    I ordered my Nova with 2 NVME SSDs. An intel in the 1st slot and the PCS one in the other. So far after 10days use it has been fine. I've got the latest BIOS the other day from PCS installed and using the latest drives downloaded from PCS. I didn't bother using the ones that came on the CD.

    PCSPECIALIST New Nova Series 15.6 Ryzen 9 Laptop

    One thing to note is the top of the lid is a proper finger print magnet. So make sure you wipe your hands after you've scoffed the KFC ;)

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 10 License Issue

    I'm not fussed about retaining the use of the license I just want to sell the laptop as complete with OS. In this case a full reset of windows ie deleting my user profile. This should be sufficient?

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 10 License Issue

    Thanks. One of my PCs is a laptop that came with an 'OEM' license as such. If I sold/passed the laptop onwards would the laptop link the license to the next user who signs in with a Microsoft account or would I need to deregister it?
