Uhh, it has 33% fewer cores. And the 3900 in this laptop doesn’t perform that much slower than the desktop full fat, which is MILES ahead of any 3700x. Multithreaded workloads are crucial for me ngl and those extra cores are a welcome plus

Thanks.

Was wondering, is this a good build for physics simulations? CPU power is king here and honestly I don’t mind splurging a bit more cash on a 2070 over a 2060, the card I would have originally gone for. In-game future proofing blah blah... (Probably move me to a new thread or something to not...

I’ll do that. Thank you. It’s really been incredibly frustrating so far and I’ve yet to find a silver lining, heck your compliments might count as one! I’ll wait for them to contact me again and I’ll look at the options they present to me but will ask for a replacement like you said. Maybe even...

I don’t know why it kept having issues, anyway they were the laptop either dying or slowing down and glitching

I did complain. I don’t know what they’ll do now. This was on the optimus x, a * piece of tech that won’t * work no matter what I do 😡

i've had 3 RMA's within 5 months of ownership. yes i'm starting to question the quality control with PCS :( anyway, first time round it tookk 2 weeks before they sent it to me. second time, they took 5 weeks to send it back and within 3 days of it returning it began sutting down and glitching on...

Check this out if you want a big screen that badly. The difference between rtx 2060 and the 1650 is over 70-80% so I would think twice before wasting money on your pick. Chassis & Display Optimus Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen™ 7...

Gotcha thanks

Yokes gotcga. Do you know the ADATA SX6000? Is it a good Ssd?

I didn’t find any 2933MHz ram in the Configurator. 2666 is the best I guess? I hope OP sees it and changes it I can’t be arsed to go editing all that on mobile lol. Didn’t know the intel is a bad SSD tho. On a budget build of £12-1300 it’s an acceptable SSD I hope?

Thank you for helping. Out of curiosity, would you change anything in the builds i suggested?

the Optimus is available with r7 4800h btw

alternatively, this spec is also good. slightly cheaper too Chassis & Display Vyper Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor 10875H (2.3GHz, 5.1GHz Turbo) Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair 2400MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 8GB)...

do you want to use it for gaming or for productivity/CPU intensive tasks? also yes, per-spec PCS make significantly cheaper laptops. I've had quality control issues but i don't know if they're the norm or not. anyway, assuming it's for gaming, this is the best you can get from PCS. Chassis &...

it is best to call PCS and ask this, the forums wont be able to help

Uhh, use a single 1TB SSD so you can add another one later. I don’t know how much data you will be working with in the future so I don’t know which of the two is better for you, Forgaming 512 is the minimum as I started to get storage issues if I had more than 8-10 titles downloaded with...

you really have no reason to go above £1200, the one i picked should be the best for your needs apart from lower than optimal storage (You can bump this up with external SSD/HDD or install a new SSD yourself down the road). Also, the rtx 2060 is a pretty capable GPU so you might find yourself...

i had exactly the same symptoms with my laptop (optimus x w/ i7 9750h and rtx 2060). totally unresponsive, screen was unmoving from an in-game image. It happened three times, and on top of all this were the heat issues you advised a repaste for. The cure (that i am proud to say i figured out by...

pls consider sharing your specs in case you bungled some choices, the mods can save you!
