My Vortex II 17'' with couple questions
Hi there,
Thinking of buying Vortex II 17, now that you have matte screen option up and another builder failed to deliver. I'm not the biggest computer specialist, so any comments are welcomed.
Main specs are:
Vortex II: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen
That is my biggest worry actually, cause DTR's usually got glossy screens and I really don't like them. Good big matte screens are hard to find. At least that's one of my conclusions after going through tonnes of reviews. What are the chances to get AUO159D (B173HW01 V5) with 72% gamut. Please correct me if I'm wrong, these model numbers are confusing a bit. I read that they should be best for this lappy or from Hannspree. After all, screen is the thing you looking at all the time and you don't wanna go wrong with this one. And how would these changes affect warranty. Or how hard would it be changed by myself.
Any comments on stock screen Chi-mei N173HGE-L11 would be nice.
Processor i7-2720QM
8GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz DDR3 MEMORY
GeForce® GTX 560M should be enough for my random gaming needs for few years to come. No need for the highest settings.
500GB WD SCORPIO BLACK 7200 rpm for the start off should be enough and reliable.
GIGABIT LAN & INTEL® CENTRINO® ADVANCED-N 6230 inc BLUETOOTH. Already got Razer Orochi mouse waiting for Bluetooth connection.
Win Pro 64
3 Year Gold Warranty
I understand that keyboard isn't very hard to change on these beasts. Can PCS provide other than English keyboard. Swedish/Finnish would do the trick but Estonian would be ideal. Would like to keep the English as well, in case I'll try to sell this one and come back to PCS in few years time and get an upgrade.
I couldn't find any word on thermal paste. Do you use that on CPU & GPU and which one.
I don't mind waiting for better screens. Any pre-order possibilities. Have to leave UK for few weeks anyway. Just don't wanna wait for another 11 weeks, as it happened somewhere else. Hope my credit card provider will sort out refund quickly, so I can move on. Still staring at my 6 year old Dell Inspiron 9200. Just wanna get it right for myself, since they are highly customizable and hopefully we can work together on that.
Probably have to send an e-mail to the sales as well, for final pricing.
Regards
Edit:
Think the hassle with the screens don't make sense. But still does anybody already got the matte screen and how is it?
