    Hey there everyone (Mods - Don't close this one because its based in this thread instead - and its a different sort of question)

    Okay, uhhh - I've never bought from novatech before and I'm thinking of buying this:

    Screen:
    15.6" Full HD Screen 1920x1080p
    Processor:
    Intel Core i7-2760QM Processor
    Memory:
    4GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory
    Harddrive:
    Seagate Momentus XT 500GB Hybrid SSD SATA Hard Drive
    Optical Drives:
    8x SATA DVD Writer
    Graphics:
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1.5GB Graphics
    Chassis:
    Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset
    Windows 7

    The "Elite Ultimate 2760" - for £1190 --- Do you guys think this is a good laptop to buy? --- Because I've had no experience with novatech - But I've read some bad reviews about the website saying that some of the reviews arent genuine and that since they don't have many stores in england at all, I was wondering do you guys think it is WORTH BUYING from novatech? - Is it worth the money you spend on it and do they have a good techsupport section?

    Do you think that novatech is a good company in short? - and worth buying stuff from?

    Thanks,

    (Again mods don't close please - because this Is actually in the Novatech section)

    I'm looking at the same notebook eggman100. Last week it was on offer for about £100 less, with 16Gb ram too. It's between this and the Medion Erazer x681(3/5/7) for me. I like this one because it's better spec, non-glare screen is an option and it looks boring so I can take it to clients without getting the eye-roll. The Medion is glossy (*hate*) and even has the WASD keys highlighted, but the prices are good. Only thing is their highest spec machine doesn't have a full HD screen. Weird. Anyway - Novatech - yes they had some really bad rep a few years ago. I hope they've cleaned up their act - I their blog has some survey from 'Which?' magazine which put their service second to Apple (who won top spot). Link to Novatech blog.
    I'd just like to point out that I have nothing to do with Novatech, I just really fancy their hardware and am looking for reasons to click buy. I'm also a paranoid git though - my previous gaming laptop was an Evesham Quest as they had a shop up the road from me; I bought a 3 year warranty with it and they went bust before the 2nd year was out. Damn thing still works apart from the memory card reader which never did.

    Any *current* Novatech customers around? The internet has a long memory but all I'm saying is, maybe they have upped their game. I checked out Cryo who do lovely desktops, but the laptop prices are eyewatering.
