Hi all I finally ordered my long awaited laptop as follows.... Chassis & Display Vortex Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4710MQ (2.50GHz) 6MB Memory (RAM) 8GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB) Graphics Card...

Hello Can anyone confirm if the 15.6 and 17.3 screen Optimus V's do or don't have a backlit keyboard. There seems to be a bit of contradiction between the "configure a laptop" main screen, the compare 3 laptops screen and the configurator screen. My impression is that the 17.3 probably doesn't...

Hello all, i've noticed there have been a few changes on the configurator recently. I see that now the basic 15 inch Vortex IV costs £1130 and the 17 inch version costs £960. I think the 17 inch has been that price for quite a while so i assume the 15 inch prices are wrong ?

Hi I have a quick question about the optional blu-ray writer with the Vortex IV 17. I had assumed that it was internal, but looking at the info tab it seems to me to suggest that it is an external drive, it describes it as having a cordless option. Could anyone clarify what i would get ? I do...

Hi guys n gals I've been agonising over the exact configuration of my proposed Skyfire 3 17 inch to almost OCD proportions as i want the machine to be as trouble free as possible with me spending the thick end of £1200 on it. My latest concern is the wireless card. Whilst i won't need...

Hi all, just looking at the recent testimonials on the pcs website. Very impressive and the sort of thing that can help you decide whether to order. I did notice however that testimonials 2317 (26.10.13) and 2316 (24.10.13) were identical (including spelling mistakes) apart from the persons...

Hi guys n gals I've been contemplating a new laptop for a while now, hastened by my desire to buy one before Windows 7 is no longer an option. My main uses will be HD video conversions and medium to high (but infrequent) gaming requirements although the video work takes priority. I'm also a...
