Is the budget realistic for an occasional use laptop? If not what would be the minimum?

Hi all, Please can you help me spec a laptop for my dad. He would be using it for occasional photoshop and watching football. He is currently using a 1080p 60hz. Ideally he would like to spend £650-700 and have at least a 15.6 inch display for when he travels although it will mostly be plugged...

Where do you get the information on power from? Everything I see is suggesting the max gpu power consumption for the 3070 is between 220 and 250W. Am I missing something?

22nd Dec.

I was quoted 10-12 days and mine was built and tested on day 13 and shipped on day 15. Arrived the next day (last Friday).

Computer arrived. Only run the free version of 3D benchmark so far. Timespy graphics score 11767. Not sure what that even means 🤔

Anyone have any experience overclocking monitors? I have a 1440p 75hz monitor and my new pcs system has just arrived and for a lot of games is capable of delivering more than 75fps even at high settings. Is it something a lot of people do or is the benefit outweighed by the risk? I realise it...

There is a button which says post to Forum. That opens it up in a format that can be copy and pasted.

Mine has only just been processed for shipping. Don't know why it waited 2 days from completion. Hopefully will get picked up today arrive tomorrow.

I also found a review that there is very little performance difference between the SE-224 and SE 225 which might be worth noting for those on a tight budget. (can't find the review again now but will post if I find it)

Looks like it just about completed within the original predicted time.

Appologies if this is already known and please correct me if the information is incorrect. I originally wanted a coolmaster hyper 212 for my system however it was unavailable as an option with the 12400F system. In the end I went for the FrostFlow 150 which I could find not information on and...

Mine has just gone into production today. 12400f, 3060 ti, 16gb 3200 RAM. Will let you know have it performs when it arrives. Shame they don't have the B660 board yet or I could have saved some money over the ASUS® PRIME Z690-P . Also no Coolermaster Hyper 212 available on cooling options (I...

Quick update for those still waiting. I ordered mine on the 22nd Dec and it went into production this morning. 14 working days according to the website (12 actual working days not including bank holidays). I was originally forecast 9-12 working days so even if it takes another 2 or 3 days to...

Well I did it again. Had to cover one of my weekend team in work on a 12 hour night shift. As it was unplanned I decided to that myself to the 3060 ti. Should be more than capable of powering my 1440p 75hz monitor now. It's the preorder LHR gpu but when I ordered it came up as in stock so...

Thanks. Will give it a read.

Thanks for the tip about the motherboard, I will keep a eye out but it is already on day 12 so hoping it will go into Build soon. What are the best benchmarks to use when it arrives? Happy to stick them up on here.

Yes. Hoping it goes into build very soon so I can't tinker any more.

The cynic in me wonders if PCS deliberately delay building the PCs to encourage extra spending. Between placing my order and now I have added 50% to the price because I cant stop tinkering. This is officially now my gaming PC as well as my daughters. In all seriousness I added the 6600 as I...
