Just an update on this... I just popped in the CD with all the drivers on it which came with the laptop, despite it seemingly being all setup. I selected "Install Drivers" and then "Install Audio Driver". The process advised that it would first remove the audio drivers, and then install them...

I've been experiencing exactly the same problem with a brand new laptop, just received... What I found was, when I clicked on the little popup that said about installing it, it opened the Windows Store.. I clicked on the "Get" button and nothing seemed to happen. This process was repeated...

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. I bought the same laptop, with a very similar spec and have exactly the same problem. I've yet to find a solution despite having a fiddle. Any updates on this would be really appreciated, I'm sure it'll be something easy to resolve once we know. Thanks in...

LOL... that's very true, and also very funny, that gave me a good laugh... I suspect if analysed the bottleneck would be me! :D Thanks for the Unreal info... you really have gone above and beyond in these replies, and that's hugely appreciated. Aside from the £500, I can't think of a good...

I'm not 100% certain how I could tell. Unreal Engine is probably the most resource hungry development software I'm using on my current laptop where everything starts to grind. Frame rates with a very empty level can be less than 10... Laptop in general has been even slower since recently...

Ironically, the weight isn't so much of an issue. I would have preferred to have got a desktop PC, but, due to some logistics, this wouldn't really work for me... My lad spends half of his time with me, half with his mum, when he's with me, he has the bedroom - as such, if I had a desktop PC...

Hi, Thanks again for this. I'm quite torn now.. lol.. originally I was reasonably happy with the £1600 cost but having then looked at the higher performance model, its hard to not want that... its really hard to know which is the best choice to make as until I experience either of them and...

Thanks again for the reply, that should have read "not set in stone" btw... typo on my part!.. I've had a look at the Octane, with the same components, its about £500 more, but that's with the i9... I have also just noticed the differences between USB ports too... the type C are not likely to...

Hi, Thanks for the response, appeciated. "TDP" ? No specific reason for that chassis, I needed to start somewhere so picked one that was "initially" a reasonable price, knowing that by the time I'd added a few bits it would go up. Whilst not listed on the spec here, I searched for the...

Hi again, Sorry for the delay responding... I've posted up the spec from here and also what I currently have... https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/spec-suitability-comparison.66779/ Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated :)

Hi all, I'm considering the following purchase and would like to get a second opinion before clicking the "Buy" button! The laptop will primarily be used for game development, 3D modelling/rendering, Unreal Engine etc.... plus, if I find some time I might even play the odd game. My current...

Ah, sorry, I didn't realise that was how you wanted it, I assumed you just wanted a bit of an "idea" of what I was after and then you were going to make some recommendations. I'll put in the details I entered the other day and see if I can share it in here.

When I went through the configurator I tried to pick some of the highest spec components, partial for a bit of a future proofing. 3D modelling, rendering, animation, Maya / Blender, 2D / 3D games, Unreal Engine, Unity etc.. high res textures, Photoshop. I was looking at the £1300 ish base...

Hi, Thanks so much for a such a prompt response, really appreciated and the info regarding the M2 drives. The laptop will be used for game development, so I'm looking for a fairly high spec, but because I need it to last for a good few years to (knowing I won't be able to upgrade much on it...

Hi all, I'm after a little advice if I may, specifically regarding the above, and also the configuration using PCSpecialist. I'm considering ordering a new laptop but the M.2 SSD Drive option through me a little bit. I've had a quick read up and this appears to be another form of storage...
