Thanks Neumie, yes I had to find gaming centre to change my keyboard colour scheme, it was called control centre previously which temporarily confused me coming from a six plus year old machine. Is nvidia Optimus not a thing anymore ?, my old Vortex laptop automatically switches to the GPU for...

Hi all I was just wondering what the button to the left of the power button does. It looks like some kind of turbo button judging by the speedo graphic but i'm wondering what it "turbos". It's currently lit orange. Im guessing it's a feature for gaming ?? for the graphics card but would really...

Hi Craig you can modify your order quite easily if you want to change it (until it goes into production). There are far more savvy people than me on here who will tell you the relative merits of the current Intels vs AMD's.

No probs, to be fair I didn't actually specify that in my original post so you weren't wrong. Thanks for input (y)

I think possibly that may be the intel version which allows 2.5 inch drives, the AMD version only uses M2 drives.

Chassis TongFang GK7NP5R (4GB GTX-1650, R7-4800H, 120Hz, Blank KB) (y) It does indeed (today) but didn't do that last night and I definitely selected post to forum. The configurator is still playing a bit strange this afternoon and added the adata 2.5"SSD under the first storage drive option...

Yes thanks SpyderTracks, I'd noticed a few posts where the chassis was stated in the quote, however I did as you suggested and it still doesn't state the chassis. It does however add an adata 2.5" drive as a storage drive which I didn't order (as 2.5" drives aren't allowed for an AMD...

Hi all Does anybody know the chassis that the above uses please, just so I can forensically research as I like to do. Many thanks ;)

https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/optimus-pro-optimus-xi-temps.69819/ @theb52s It's about 10 conversations below this one but there isn't any information on a solution just an agreement that there's an issue.

OK many thanks for that. I take it that spec came from the Optimus XI options not the the Pro XI, the reports of the fans only going to 50% on the Pro put me off. Edit just noticed it is the Pro. I might wait and see what comes to pass with peoples experiences of the fan issue. I'm not in a huge...

Thanks for that. ;) I had considered something down those lines but I decided that the extra screen real estate was more important to me than a better graphics card. I'll certainly take on board the good advice regarding the SSD. (y)

Thank you, that's really helpful. (y)

Hi I have exactly the same fan performance question, it does sound like there isn't any information available yet. If you decide to go ahead with yours would you let us know how the fan performs please ?

Bump.. I was also wondering if anyone knows if the Optimus XI is prone to the same reported issues as the XI Pro regarding the fan only ramping to 50% with high temperatures ? Thank you.

Hi all I just noticed the AMD chips will soon be available for the 17" laptops (7th July). I've been hanging on as the intels sound a bit toasty for my liking and over heating is my real bugbear also I don't really feel competent enough anymore to go down the under clocking route. I noticed...

Hi all Been doing a bit of window shopping as i'm contemplating a new laptop to partially replace my slightly creaky but still useable Vortex IV. I'm somewhat out of the loop with components, so a bit of advice would be very welcome. On the machine I was looking at as an example (Optimus in...

Hi all I was just window shopping and noticed the Optimus VIII "special offer". I've configured it to my requirements and it does seem a good price. A couple of things i've noticed, firstly the battery is stated as Cosmos VI series. Is this just a typo, as I thought the Optimus would require...

Hi all Just looking at the specs of the current laptop offerings with a view to possibly upgrading/replacing my nearly three year old Vortex IV. One of my primary requirements is an internal blu ray writer....something that is as rare as hens teeth with the current range of chassis, and I...

Hi all As above I've lost the 5G option on my Vortex IV laptop 2 1/2 years old, 2G still works. Windows 7, Killer N1202 network card, VM superhub 2 router. 5G is still seen by other devices. The router admin page reports 2.4G is on channel 11, whereas the 5G is on "auto compatability"...

Hi all My webcam has never worked, the installation shortcut on the desktop just refers to a missing path to the driver. It hasn't bothered me so far, but now I would like to use the webcam so need to get it working. I've looked at my account in the driver download section, but there are at...
