    PCSPECIALIST Refund for 2 Month Old Laptop?

    Of course, I have called them and they have turned the RMA into a refund request, but I was just wondering whether anybody had gone through this kind of thing before to get some more reassurance :)

    PCSPECIALIST Refund for 2 Month Old Laptop?

    Thanks! This is helpful. So the fault is not the same one as the first RMA, but it is good to know that it is valid to ask for a refund. The system is very young as well, so hopefully they can still sell it once the second issue is fixed.

    PCSPECIALIST Refund for 2 Month Old Laptop?

    Hi all, Just wanted to reach out to the community for some advice. While I did love my Defiance VII when it arrived, and I think PCSpecialist is an excellent company which does provide some great laptops and PCs, due to issues regarding heat on the CPU & a broken screw on one of the heat sinks...

    PCSPECIALIST 17,3" DEFIANCE VII audio quality

    Tbh tho with loud laptops like this (because of the form factor) if you’re not playing with headphones it’s a bit of a strange one imo, just fan noise alone is a deterrent even if you have excellent speakers. My best advise would probably be to just get external speakers.

    PCSPECIALIST Seriously Impressed by PCS

    I do have to say that PCS were extremely quick in my case, although my laptop was only 4 days old when I had to RMA it for high temps. From the day they took it it was about 24 hours after they received the package until they gave me a status update saying thermal paste had been reapplied and it...

    PCSPECIALIST 17,3" DEFIANCE VII audio quality

    I have the 15.6 inch version and I agree the speaker quality when volume goes above ~20 is terrible, but tbh if that’s the compromise for the performance and the full keyboard and good webcam placement that’s fine imo. Not sure about replacing a laptop’s speakers, someone more knowledgeable...

    PCSPECIALIST Anyone with a recent RMA? | After a month they send with the same problem

    Mine just got delivered to them, but my laptop is only a couple of days old so apparently they’re going to try and be quicker.

    PCSPECIALIST Nova 15.6 overheating

    Just to add to this, I have a new defiance VII that reaches 100 C without even going above 40% utilization atm so it is getting RMAd but they were super friendly about it and helpful, always worth calling and even if you have to RMA it is worth it to get these issues fixed because I really don’t...

    PCSPECIALIST Defiance VII CPU Temps

    I just today received the new Defiance model (15.6 inch), and I noticed that under 30-45% processor load (HW Monitor PRO) I sometimes peaked at 100 degrees celsius CPU temps... Is there anything I can do or do you guys think this is a build fault? The laptop was built extremely quickly (4...

    PCSPECIALIST Defiance Replacement (Defiance Reborn or Vyper)?

    Hey guys! First post on the forum, but basically I have a Defiance V (or IV? It's the one with a 970m in it.) and being two-three years old its time for a replacement. My "W" key sticks when gaming due to the high heat or some other problem, and the laptop regularly shuts off due to overheating...
