Hello everyone. As the title suggests, I’m trying to decide on a new monitor for my order, which is currently in pre-production (PC Specialist build). From a monitor perspective, I have to say I’m not impressed with the major drawbacks of both technologies (IPS poor contrast and VA smeared...

Hello all, I hope you're doing well. I'd love to invite some feedback on the following spec for the uses specified in the post title. My main use will be Neural DSP guitar amp simulators and recording, hence why I feel like a CPU with a good amount of cores may be preferable. I use my PS5 for...

Good afternoon everyone. I’m looking at the new Ionico 16 inch laptop, and just had a couple of queries. Is this a new chassis to PCS, as I cannot seem to find evidence or reviews of this elsewhere. I assume it’s a Clevo chassis, and, if so, does anyone have the model number to hand? It...

Hello guys, My laptop refuses to display 60hz at 4k over a 2.0 HDMI connection, even though the monitor supports it. I'm using an Acer RT280K 3840x2160 display. I've had the same issue when trying to connect to my 4k TV. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks! Steve.

Hello all, When running 'Balanced' in Clevo Control Center my CPU tends to boost and hang up to around 3.6Ghz even when carrying out simple web browsing tasks. This causes the laptop to heat up significantly and the fans to become quite loud. Setting 'Power Saving' mode rectifies this by...

I've seen a lot of recommendations for cooling pads for laptops purchased here and elsewhere, and I'm looking at options for my new laptop (which I very much like). However, is a cooling pad even worth it for this model? The intake vent is on the rear and the exhaust is on the right side...

With news of the Intel/ AMD partnership for 8th Gen Core H Series Laptop CPU's (CPU and GPU on same die) , am I likely to see these chips outperform the above CPU/ dedicated GPU in tasks such as gaming? I leave to study abroad in late February and need a laptop pretty soon that can handle...

I’ve noticed that the Defiance III 14 has no USB Type C ports, and appears to use a proprietary port at the rear to charge the laptop. I want this laptop, but awful battery life is a real concern. Does anyone know of any power banks that would charge this laptop? Thanks.

Hello all, I have a few questions regarding the Optimus VIII 15.6” model, any help would be appreciated. 1. Battery life is fairly important, will I see a massive drop in battery life if I choose the 4K panel over the 1080p screen? 2. Is the 1050ti likely to run much hotter than the 1050? I’d...

Hello, Does anyone have any experience of the battery life for this laptop? When not playing games, I'd like to use it away from mains power for Office based applications. I can't seem to find any solid information on battery life, the thin chassis makes it an ideal option, decent battery...

Good afternoon everyone, I've bought a couple of systems from PCS in the past and have had a great experience with them (2 desktops). I'm now looking at buying a Pascal based notebook, but I'd like to know if the Octane III 15/17 incher is able to have a CPU upgrade in the future. I'd opt to...
