    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil IV battery upgrade

    Hi damole I'd like to replace my Recoil battery as well. Currently I have the 11.4V, 3-cell model. I'd like to go for the 15.2V, 4-cell model to benefit from longer "unplugged" sessions with my laptop. Can you confirm you were able to install the 15.2V, 4-cell model in your Recoil and got it up...

    I live in a major city on the East coast of Spain. FTTB (or FTTH?) was installed in 2017 in my building, the fiber network being pretty recent here. Though, as you suspect, you never get to fully enjoy full speed, except for some rare P2P downloading cases (not encouraging piracy though, just...

    Well unfortunately the alternative file explorer test was a failure. Good news is I solved the problem by going for a Win10 re-installation (full SSD format)!

    Thank you for answering so fast ubuysa Exactly, that is where I find myself dumbfounded... Here is a screenshot of the internet speedtest by the way. I did not get the occasion to do one for the file copying speed so far. Yes I ran the test with Ubuntu running live on an USB pendrive on...

    Hi everyone, I’m encountering a weird bug that is, oddly enough, pretty common with Win10 from my research on the internetz. Setup: - Synology NAS - DS114 with WD Red HDD inside - Mitrastar router (the standard one from my ISP for my FTTH connection) - PCSpecialist laptop (Recoil 2019) with...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II RTX - The gaming laptop that can look like a regular laptop

    Final update just to confirm that we finally sorted it out. Main problem was the company responsible for picking up the laptop as you might have understand from my previous posts. Hopefully once PCSpecialist received my laptop things went smoother and faster, including delivery.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II RTX - The gaming laptop that can look like a regular laptop

    Quick update: still no pickup from the company supposed to pick my laptop up to send it to PC Specialist... Planned 5 times (2 different addresses, trying to solve the "issue"). Took 2 days off for nothing... The pickup guy never came. Not even once. My appreciation for PC Specialist is...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II RTX - The gaming laptop that can look like a regular laptop

    Sure where can I do that please? Thanks, I'll definitely check that out. A quick heads-up 3 months after: the screen just detached itself from the chassis! No idea how this happened, I've really handled the laptop with care so far (never fell, never even left the very same room I first put it...

    Thanks a lot for enlightening me! Wow you can buy a battery with a longer duration? That's awesome, I'll definitely look into that! (Can it be bought through PCS though? I've seen your link has been removed) They've sent me the little EXE to fix it indeed, worked like a charm (will edit my...

    Thanks for the advice, will do then ;) I'm a bit shameful but it's an ego thing actually 😔... My old laptop already had 16gb RAM (DDR3 though, way behind DDR4 performance), and still I experienced hiccups with Premiere Pro more recent versions (switched to Sony Vegas for some time, which...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil II RTX - The gaming laptop that can look like a regular laptop

    Hey guys! Looks like we’re quite numerous having ordered and received a Recoil II RTX recently! Here are the specs for the one I received a few weeks ago (I’ll just delete all the “non-relevant”, meaning standard, information as this is fully detailed, as usual; also sorry for the Spanish words...
