I am really close to purchasing my new computer but I just wanted some opinions thrown out on this subject. Should I just go ahead and have Windows 8 installed by PC Specialist within the purchase or should I go for Windows 7 and get the windows 8 DVD for £14.99 so that I can install it myself...

I have decided to go for a computer with one Intel 520 series SSD of 240GB & a secondary drive 750GB WD Scorpio Black. My question is; because I will have a SSD, would I not need so much the i7- 3840QM 8MB processor? Instead, would having the i7-3610QM 6MB or the i7-3740QM 6MB be suffice...

If I purchase a laptop computer with 16 GB RAM comprising of two 8 GB sticks, if I then wanted to later on put more RAM in it, could I send it back to you (PC Specialist) to do this for me? Or is this impractical and I should get someone local to do it? Cheers

As you can tell, I am a bit of a novice when it comes to technical stuff regarding computers. This question may sound dumb, but it's a question that always puzzled me. It's a basic "how does it work" question. If you have two drives and the primary one is a SSD, the operating system will be...

Hopefully I will be ordering a laptop in the not too distant future that will have a SSD as the primary drive and a second hard disk. Regarding the second hard disk. What would be the most advantageous and what would an expert go for out of these two? 1TB WD SCORPIO BLUE WD10JPVT, SATA 3...

If I order a laptop and I choose a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system including DVD and license, can I ask for the laptop to be sent without the operating system installed? Can I have the operating system sent as a separate item so that I can put it on myself from the very start? I...

Hi, I have a few questions to ask. I am disabled and I use speech recognition on the computer to work it. I am in the throes of trying to fund raise for a new computer. The computer I have a moment is only 4 GB and a dual core processor. Although it is okay, the speech recognition program...

Hi, New member here and great to be joining you all. I posted the same in the other laptop forum, as I could not distinguish between the two and which had the most traffic. So I apologise in advance if this wasn't necessary. I rang up today and got the exact specs for a laptop computer that...
