    PCSPECIALIST New Laptop Completely Locked Up and Won't Shutdown

    Ah that's interesting. I have an integrated battery however and no means of being able to remove the casing, but at least I'm not the only one who's had this issue.

    PCSPECIALIST New Laptop Completely Locked Up and Won't Shutdown

    Hardware was my line of thinking but I'm not hardware savvy enough to diagnose properly. There doesn't seem to be anything in the Minidump folder and no Memory.dmp file either. Might be somewhere else?

When playing Stellaris with High settings the CPU shoots up to 90 degrees and around 60 for GPU. The fans are basically running...

    PCSPECIALIST 17.3" VYPER vs 17.3" DEFIANCE VII

    I've just purchased the Defiance and I too was comparing against the Vyper. For me, one of the deciding factors was the location of where the webam on the Vyper. It being placed at the base of the screen doesn't sit well with me.

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil IV Power adapter

    Cool thanks for the advice. I'll look into getting the Defiance as soon as I'm able to login. Seems like a bizarre design choice for the Vyper to have the cam where it is.

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil IV Power adapter

    I appreicate the advice. Thats rather unfortunate. In which case, it falls to either the Defiance or the Vyper. Comparing those two laptops with pretty much identical specs: (Apologies for format. Unable to link specs due to web error, have emailed PCS regarding the issue). - i7 10875H - 64GB...

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil IV Power adapter

    Hi I'm currently looking at the Recoil IV but Im curious, does it require 2 power adapters plugged in? On the options it lists as giving 2 power adapters, and Im thinking it isnt for spare. If i've identified the chassis correctly, the Recoil IV uses the Clevo x170sm-g model which would seem...
