Didn't know where else to post this so stuck it here. Feel free to move as required. I thought I'd post about my laptop. It's now twelve months since I purchased the laptop. Specs as below: Vortex II 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen i7 Quad Core i7-2720QM (2.20GHz) 6MB Cache 8GB SAMSUNG...

My Vortex II HDD is running out of space. I was going to get another internal HDD but most of the stuff is music, TV progs, films that I've ripped from DVD. I figured it might be a better idea to stream them from a NAS to either the PS3 or the laptop and means other family members can also use...

I have a Vortex II 17 laptop. Can the keyboard be removed or adjusted to allow for cleaning the area under the keys?

It's been something like three months since I've had my Vortex II and I love it (apart from the adapter which needs to be longer IMO, and the ODD which I accidentally open - used it being on the other side!). Didn't go for SSD originally but am now contemplating it. Which one should I go for...

I've noticed that there are times when I run my hand very lightly across the palm rests of the laptop, I can feel a vibration. But this is only when I run my hand/finger across it. If I just rest my hand on the palmrest, there's no vibration. If I press more firmly, it doesn't happen. I thought...

Has anyone on here tried older games to see how they play? Dug out NFS: Most Wanted and loaded up to have a blast. Was able to knock up the settings to max and see it in its full glory - something I couldn't do with my old laptop. Very smooth gameplay. Running into problems though - it doesn't...

Can't seem to find a way to do this. My previous laptop came with a program for the trackpad which allowed you to define certain areas which if pressed could act as shortcuts eg rightclick, double click etc. But it also came with a feature to adjust the sensitivity by getting you to type...

Since I've had the laptop, the Intel My Wifi Utility displays an error, stating that the adaptor is not found. Wifi via Windows' own configuration utility works - am connected to my home router. How can I remedy this?

After 8 working days of preproduction, the laptop was built, tested and despatched in one day. I could have received it on Friday but because of real life issues, I couldn't be at home. So it arrived today and I spent the entire day waiting to get home. First thoughts: it's frikking huge! 17.3"...

Has anyone used a laptray thing? Big bit of plastic (I think) with a cushion underneath so you work on it etc? Has anyone used a laptop cooler with one of these?

Can we have a laughing smilie please? Or even a ROFL one!

A thread for those who've ordered but are enduring the agonising wait between order and receipt. Put it in the laptop section for now but please feel free to move. -------------------------------------- After 8 working days of pre-production, my order was built this morning, tested this...

To stop those multiple "I'm waiting" threads, how about a single superthread where everybody can talk about having to wait xxx days for their system? EDIT: I'd start one but no idea where to start it. So will put it in the laptops section.

I've been nosing around a bit more and it turns out the 580M should support 3D. Now, I still think it's a bit of a gimmick, probably best on a large screen (eg cinema) and not worth going for. But.......... If I later changed my mind, can the screen be swapped? Does anything else need to be...

Gah! Logged in at 1300 to use the live support. Hit refresh as there was no activity (eg change in queue etc) and I've had to start all over again! :taz: Any way of disabling user refresh to stop the problem?

At the mo, have a 17.3" vortex II on order. But I've been wondering whether it's worth going for a SSD or not. At the mo, have only one HDD - 500GB 7200rpm. Is it possible to retrofit an SSD later and use the HDD in the second slot? Or is it best to spec the ssd, go for a smaller hdd and...

I've ordered the Vortex II with a matte screen. My old laptop was matte and my netbook is matte too, so I had no qualms about deciding whether to go for matte or glossy. My sister has a glossy screen laptop and it's annoying to have the light reflecting off it, which would be a PITA for working...

Posted a couple of times and then saw this section. :stupid: Anyway, figured I'd say hi. My old laptop broke after seven years of duty. Loved it - Acer 1682WLMi but during the last few years, it started to fall apart. The first to go was the wireless antenna. No problem - plugged in a PCMCIA...

My seven year old Acer laptop broke after my sister spilt some water on it. So after some deliberation, I've decided to go all out. A few years ago, I ordered a £3000 laptop from Rock, but after much messing about (including them not delivering during the week I had taken off work, despite being...
