They effectively deliver on their promises within the announced timeframe. The PC produced is exactly what you choose and looks even better in person.

Poor Quality Assurance

The build was terrible. Bent CPU heat sink, USB-C ports not working, and the back of the case I/O panel was not installed correctly, where the metal "tabs" were touching the internals of the USB-C port, which meant the PC kept dying due to eletrical shorts.

I will never purchase from this company again.

Reply from PCSpecialist

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with your system.

We do aim to highlight any known configuration limitations before purchase so expectations are clear from the outset, and we’re sorry if this wasn’t as clear or helpful as it should have been in your case.

Before dispatch, we take detailed images of every system, which are available to view in your account. These show the PC fully built and in good condition prior to shipping. While this suggests everything left us as expected, we appreciate that components can occasionally shift during transit, and we’re sorry that your system hasn’t arrived in the condition you would expect.

We also appreciate your comments regarding the rear I/O panel. Feedback like this is taken seriously and shared with our build team as part of ongoing quality improvements.

We haven’t seen any recent contact regarding these issues, and we’d really like the opportunity to put things right. A member of our team will be reaching out directly to discuss this further and help resolve things as quickly as possible.

We’re sorry again for the frustration caused, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,
PCSpecialist

Excellent hardware and logistics, but generic digital support.

Assembly, QC, and shipping were notably efficient. The system arrived expertly packaged, with all mounting materials and spares well-conditioned. Performance is exactly as expected for the hardware specified. However, the provided documentation and driver links remain generic.

Top notch service from PCSpecialist

Top notch service from PCSpecialist, solid build, smooth running machine, and excellent communication. I highly recommend. I managed to get a machine built exactly to my requirements, from millions of possible combinations, and within my budget. The site provides automatic help in case some of the components are not fully compatible, and the customer service absolutely tops many of the major computer brands out there. 5 Stars!

Great product, and great process!

The website was very easy to use to choose all of my computer parts. The process was smooth and easy, and I was updated at every step of the way, including with a 360-degree view of the assembled machine. Well-assembled, clean and neat, with great cable management. Shipping was on time, and the computer came very well-padded and secure. And the computer itself is everything I hoped for!

My Recoil is a BEAST! :)

Let me start by saying that the laptop (Recoil III) is a beast! As it should, it chews through the most recent AAA titles, every kind of Power Bi table and all that while streaming 4k videos from YouTube. As I said, a beast.
The fans ramp up, but hey, if you want silence you just don't go and buy a 5070ti laptop.
I had trouble placing my order, since it assumed my name as a company name, I still can't figure out exactly how but, it all worked out. It took more time than expected but, the order was placed (with great help from Renato - kudos to you, mate!) and after that, the assembly and expedition went by pretty fast. A week after the order being placed, I had my Recoil at home.
The setup process, after installing my OS, was straight forward, except for the 12th step where the manual adds an install which is not present on the downloaded folder, and the IRSt not installing, for some odd incompatibility. (it was fixed on the next Windows update so, no harm done.)
Using the laptop is a delight, but I've had 3 BSODs, all related to ntoskernel, which I expect to stabilise as updates keep flowing in.
All in all, well worth the money spent! If you have doubts about TongFeng laptops, rest assured, this one delivers, big time!
It's my first time buying from PCSpecialist, but it probably won't be the last. I've already recommend it two a couple of work buddies so, word will get around, eventually.
Get the order form fixed and you will have the last "full star"; as it stands, it's a 4,72 rounded up!
Thank you, for the great service, product and, above all, your help and dedicated support.

PCSpecialist assembled a big unit of a PC and besides a small niggle with a slightly loose HDD bay (which also comes down to my choice of tower), the availability of components, communication, service and build quality were excellent.

Highly recommended for custom builds!

Excellent experience

Build setup was simple and delivery was within normal timeframes. Very good customer service, very responsive, with descriptions and photos throughout the whole process. A bit more expensive than building a PC manually, but worth it, given the support and warranty they offer. The only thing I would say is that there isn't much variety in some of the parts (for example NVIDIA's GPUs only had the 50 series when some GPUs from the 40 series would have also been interesting). Otherwise excellent website and service.

My Experience with the Laptop Purchase

Overall, I'm quite pleased with the service and the laptop I received. The device arrived in excellent condition, and from my initial tests, everything appears to be functioning well, with the exception of the battery life, which is notably short.

My only significant piece of feedback concerns the order tracking and customer communication. I experienced delays due to the support team responding only once per day, in the mornings. This led to a three-day delay in my order being dispatched, as my responses weren't reviewed until the following day. I recommend improving the responsiveness of your order tracking support to avoid similar issues in the future.

The PC Specialist website is easy to use and I was able to select the components that I wanted. After I placed my order the communication from PC Specialist was first-class, they kept me informed of progress during the build and dispatch process.

Perfect solution for custom made PC

PCSpecialist offer the perfect solution for people who like to specify exactly what they want in a PC, but do not want to physically built it.
The website is very user friendly and assists in making the right choices.
Customer support is excellent.
