    PCSPECIALIST Laptop performance issues

    Indeed it seems to be driver related for the GPU , as for the RAM .... not every SODIMM might work at full speed in the laptop and unfortunately there is nothing to be done about it from the laptop`s point of view . No BIOS settings to adjust etc , either they work or they don`t .

    PCSPECIALIST Keyboard marks on screen on 17.3` Valeon

    This kind of what I expected from the get go , it is a design flaw and it cannot " be fixed " . My keyboard looks brand new , but that is because I use a external keyboard to it on my desk . Considering that the flaws of the chassi cannot be sorted and that there is no guarantee that PCS will...

    PCSPECIALIST Video Editing Laptop

    I have seen laptops though with Intel Xeon CPU`s and Quadro GPU`s solely meant for workstation use , obviously not PCS machines , but still they do exist . So one should not be so quick to write off laptops as workstations . But generally speaking higher clock frequency DIMMs mated with the...

    PCSPECIALIST Advice appreciated

    I have made some minor amendments that will benefit overall , 1st a larger SSD from 1 TB to 2TB , better to think larger before buying as it is easy to run out of storage , 2nd I added the Silver Warranty as it makes more sense and gives better protection just in case and third a bit faster...

    PCSPECIALIST RAM timings Elimina PRO 32GB Corsair 2666MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 16GB).

    I agree in general with @ubuysa that most laptops are not built for overclocking , only a very few laptops have the cooling and thickness to sustain it , and these tend to be DTR`s or Desktop Replacement laptops , weighing in at +4kgs . My previous laptop was one of such laptops , but these...

    PCSPECIALIST RMA Problem!

    This is one of the reasons why I`m hesitating to handle in my Valeon for RMA , if it is going to take 6 weeks or more ( worse in summer due to staff holiday`s ) I would likely be better off selling it, and hope that next buyer does not care as much of the imprinting of keys to LCD panel when...

    PCSPECIALIST 17.3" Elimina screen - failing after nine days

    Yeah , I say RMA... that does not look good at all and not something you would be able to resolve yourself .

    PCSPECIALIST Video Editing Laptop

    Another option is to buy the lowest amount of RAM with the laptop , and separately order 2x 32 GB 3200 Mhz DIMMs . It is a well known fact that Ryzen CPU`s thrives with fast memory and reap benefits with it. However be aware of the voltages and latencies of the memory before buying and check...

    PCSPECIALIST Are you getting vaccinated?

    I guess my father and their parents/grand parents was lucky not to be involved in the war . But I guess being Swedish protected us a bit . That being said , it is a no brainer to grab the vaccine if being offered . I`ve had my 1st shot and will soon get the 2nd , by being vaccinated you protect...

    PCSPECIALIST Does anyone use a laptop other than for gaming?

    I`m not actually using the 17"3 screen on my laptop when on my desk , I`m using my 35" UltraWide monitor . Only when travelling I would use the laptop screen.

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Build

    Usually that should indeed be possible , 1 via HDMI and one via DisplayPort/USB-C . Most of laptops offered here can do that . Any specific model of laptop in mind ?

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Keyboards

    Usually a 17" laptop can have the same size keyboard as a regular keyboard as it has a wider chassi to fit the keyboard in. Some manufacturers even goes as far as implementing mechanical key switches and per-key backlight .

    PCSPECIALIST Keyboard marks on screen on 17.3` Valeon

    I`m hesitant to do an RMA for the issue with the screen and keyboard marks on it when lid is closed , mainly because it might take 2-3 months before RMA is done . I might just sell it and then purchase a different laptop.

    PCSPECIALIST Keyboard marks on screen on 17.3` Valeon

    I might look into that myself after the summer holiday`s . But yes.... the frame is too thin to actually protect the LCD panel and one can actually feel the panel touch the keys when lid is closed , when the frame should prohibit that from happening. This is nothing PCS can " repair " as it is...

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus series 17.3" - Keyboard keys peeling off after 2 months.

    It is just poor quality. My old Asus ROG G752VS never had these issues over the almost 4 years I had it . Keyboard looks the same as when I got it . Maybe PCS need to up the quality check on their laptops ?

Now I rarely close the lid as my laptop is placed on a cooling stand with screen open , but when I do close it , I have similar issues . I think that the frame is not deep enough to...

CPU was set at SPL 45W as per design and sPPT 55w boost , also within AMD`s specs . I don`t normally run the laptop in an overclocked state . This was just to...
