Thanks for your responses. I've since spoken to my friend again and they are adamant that space and portability are the key concerns, despite my championing for a desktop. They have suggested they might be open to spending up to £1,500 but I'm not an expert in this field. I came up with this...

Hi thanks for the quick reply! Here is the reconfig link: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/elimina-iii-15/YS52vdKsjP/ To answer your questions, I take your point about the 17.3" and will double check as that might be preferred. The laptop is mainly for space reasons I...

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I understand what you're saying and that makes a lot of sense. This sounds like a great build. I don't know a great deal about the current state of new GPUs but how future-proof would you estimate this at before i need to think about an upgrade? Thanks again!

Hey guys I'm currently on a trip to Australia for a few months and I wanted an app or program that could map my journey, essentially an electronic version of the pins on maps idea. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi all Thanks to the help of the PCS community I've recently bought and received my Proteus II laptop. I wanted to write a review soon but thought I'd like to test it through games etc. to see how it performs before writing this. So another question from me: What is the best way to put my...

Hi all I've recently ordered a Proteus II laptop and want to ensure I treat it right! When gaming, is it best to remove the battery and charge it from the wall? Or is it best to play from the battery til about 15% and then charge it back up? Many thanks
