I have two on order - a desktop and a laptop. I get the automated emails every 5 days but ignore them. I ordered the laptop a week after the desktop but they both showed the same build date. Now the laptop is showing an earlier date. I am confident they will be built, tested and shipped in time...

I have ordered an optimus 17" laptop and now concerned about this. I'll keep a close eye on the keyboard when it arrives.

My old desktop has 2 - one DL and one for Lightscribe. They get used twice a year normally but last xmas I needed to produce 80 copies of a DVD for my daughters dance show (with full permission from the author) and then it was invaluable. But I doubt I'll need to do that again. My new build...

Thanks. I've just looked at the technet products and ordered the larger unit as this is for a 17" laptop.

Thanks Ubuysa - lots of useful info there :)

Has anyone used a cooling stand for a laptop? Are they externally powered or from a USB port on the laptop? Any strong recommendations? Are low budget ones any good? Any to avoid?

Brands more than Retailers here. Back in the early days you could only by direct from the manufacturers. Acorn - I had an Atom kit in the early 80's. A bit cheaper if you could build it yourself. I soldered it all together then had to take it back to Acorn for them to solder it properly. :) I...

I just found this. The Hardware profile. Set everything to Black. https://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=192009 https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043423432-How-to-Configure-hardware-profiles I assume each device holds a number of profiles and one of them is the default...

I haven't used RGB lighting before. I have a PC on order which should arrive mid Dec. I've tried to find out more about the lighting but so far no answers. I do not want the lights on until I have logged into Windows. Can they be disabled on power-up and in sleep/hibernate? Motherboard is...

Thank you UBUYSA. That would explain the labelling. I checked my drive - ST2000LM015 It is 7mm .... so I should be ok.

A 2.5" SSD is identical size to a 2.5" HDD, with identical mount points and SATA connectors. This is why the format was created so that the SSD could fit in the same space as the HDD. I hope there is no reason for the mention of SSD (and not SSD/HDD) . Otherwise I'll be looking for an external...

Many of the cases (i.e. Corsair 220T RGB) have provsion for 2x 3.5"/2.5" drives in the base and 2x2.5" units on the back plate. The info on PCS shows them as 2.5" bays But when I checked the Corsair website it mentions SSD's. I have a 2.5" HDD I want to install into a new build. Are there any...

If I use his Microsoft account he may get notification of a login on a new machine. I'll dig out instructions for setting up with a local account instead. The next Windows update on/around 9th Dec. I'll get this one done and then rebox it. Shortly after xmas I'll need to transfer the Office...

Thanks. I guess Xmas morning will be 'Dad, what do I put in this field?' for half an hour :)

What is the Windows install state when PCS ship a completed PC/laptop? It's been a few years since my last PCS purchase in 2011, Windows was partly installed and at a page where I needed to supply a few details. Then it completed the installation and detected all devices etc. I cant remember...

Juanherrero, I'm in a similar situation. My PC is used for Lightroom 75% of the time and Photoshop for 20%. I play no games. My PC is from PCS bought in 2011 - AMD Phenom 4-core and Radeon HD 6570 GPU, 8GB Ram I use a single 1920x1080 display Photoshop and Lightroom have been working on this...

The GTX 1650 is not on the supported GPU list on the Adobe site, but the 1660 is on the list. This is to get the full benefit of all features in PS. I am using an old HD6570 which fell off the Adobe list 5 years ago .... it still works, but I don't have many of the accelerated features. My new...

I'm watching too. I have two purchases I want to make before xmas - Desktop and Laptop. Neither of them are 'stock' models but if they do appear on the Black Friday list at good discounts then I may compromise a bit.

Thanks :)

if I order a laptop with M.2 SSD and no SATA device, is it possible to add my own SSD later? .... i.e. is the space still available. Would it invalidate the warranty if the case is opened?
