    So my gaming laptop I bought from PC Specialist 4 and a half years ago (in my sig) has been amazing and is still working like the day I got it, other than the battery which is now useless.

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming PC Able To Display 4K.

    Hey all. Looking to invest in a gaming PC, which will 80% be used to play GTA V in 4k. Will play occasional other games, and also watch BluRays and other video content. But my main concern is it is able to run GTA V at 4k with decent FPS. I don't have a set budget, as I don't know what I need to...

    PCSPECIALIST What's Everyone Playing?

    Okay, so I got VERY quickly bored of GTA V. You all said it would happen, and it did. I'm looking for something fun and addictive. Online or single player. But if it's single player, it needs to have a good story and fun gameplay. Was tempted to try DayZ, but hears mixed things. Was also tempted...

    PCSPECIALIST Advice On Which Laptop...

    Buying a laptop for my Dad, after finally convincing him to ditch his old piece of poo. It will need to run Windows 7, with Jaws screen reading software. He only uses it for internet surfing, music and word documents. He wants 3 USB ports too. What would you recommend? Budget is £500 max, but he...

    PCSPECIALIST Playstation 2 Emulator.

    Can someone give me an idea on how I go about playing PS2 games on my latpop? I want a safe emulator, that works. And then do I just use PS2 discs? Sorry for the noobish questions, but I haven't a clue. Really want to play some of my old favourites like The Getaway Black Monday!

    PCSPECIALIST GTA V On My Laptop.

    So I'm about to fork out on GTA V to play on my laptop. However, I don't want to waste £40 if it's going to run like crap, or have poor graphics. My spec is in my sig. I already have the game on 360 & One, and don't really want to bother spending money on it, if it's likely to run at a lower...

    So, my MX5 should be back on the road next month. So I started looking for insurance. Greenlight, who insure my Mini (excellent company btw) were £399, whilst Adrian Flux beat them at £355. However, the guy on the phone told me quotes are only valid that day, but if I took out the policy, I...

    PCSPECIALIST Graphics Card Upgrade?

    Looking on PCS's website to see what upgrades they offer for my laptop. There's all sorts on there, CPUs, hard drives, RAM, but there are no options under graphics card. I was thinking of upgrading to the newer GTX 980M, ready for some high res gaming on GTA V. Do you think I need it or should I...

    I plugged my laptop into my TV to watch Netflix, but there was no sound through the TV. In my attempt to fix it, I disabled my laptop speakers, but now I can't find how to enable them. They've gone from the sound section in control panel. Help!

    PCSPECIALIST GTA IV is a PITA!

    I bought the GTA multipack in the Steam sale, and attempted to play GTA IV early on this evening, 2 hours later and I'm playing. At first I couldn't get Windows Live to work, then the Social Club, and after all that, it wouldn't let me change the graphics settings, as I have TOO MUCH VRAM...

    PCSPECIALIST Borderlands 2...

    So, I bought the GOTY edition of this in the Steam sale. At first I thought the game was great. That was until I realised it does not save your location. So you have to replay and rekill every bad guy to get back to where you where if you save and leave the game. Completely ruined it for me...

    Thought I'd crack on with one of my old favourites today. It was on offer on origin so I bought the Sims 3, with a few of the expansions. Now it plays flawlessly in play mode, at Mazda settings for everything. 1920x1080, and set to high, for all options. However, the minute I enter build mode...
