    PCSPECIALIST Laptop not booting after Recovery

    I have an Optimus V13.3 Laptop that was endlessly crashing on boot. I recovered the PC with the USB Recovery Disc I made recently.

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus V 13.3 Laptop - After a week of use

    I previously had an Optimus V 17.3 Laptop and was VERY happy with it. I however had to give it up as it was way too heavy to lug around all day long, and work gave me a laptop.

    Hi Does the Optimus v 17.3 support an mSATA disk ? If so, which part of the laptop base would I need to open up to get to it ? Mine already has a SSD boot disk and normal disk for data, but I was wondering if I could also add an mSATA ( or replace the SSD with an mSATA) Thanks in advance for...

    PCSPECIALIST [Q] What are the self adhesive strips for ?

    I just received my Optimus V 17" (hello baby !!!!!), and in the small bag with the user guides, there are some narrow self adhesive strips (could be used as feet / silencing / cushioning I guess), but no (obvious) indication as to why they are included in the packaging. Could anyone let me know...
