Grantham, Karen

Score 10.0/10

+ Fast, massive, quiet and powerful. Ideal gaming and multimedia machine. Flashy blue lights that make it fum to look at and a lit up keyboard that makes it easy to play games in the dark. The mouse comes with a weight control system which is fabulous.

- The monitor setting up instructions were a bit vague.
