A 13.3in laptop with gaming credentials. Thinking of buying a new system from PC Specialist? Then here's a tip: check the company's list of recent reviews, as said systems tend to be offered at promotional prices. It's a simple formula that works - if you buy the system in its as-reviewed configuration, the special-offer price applies. Choose to change any parts, and the price tag quickly spirals out of control.

Rival system integrators consider this an underhand method of gaining favourable reviews, but hey, if the specification is good, and you can get it relatively cheap, it's a win-win situation for consumers, isn't it? With that in mind, we're turning our attention today to the PC Specialist Optimus VI 13, priced keenly at £899 should you follow the buy link at the end of this review.
