Morning All, I’ve been waiting for an AMD/RTX laptop combo and the new Recoil chassis seems to tick the boxes with its Ryzen 9 and RTX 3070/3080 options. It also has the added bonus of a 1440p screen. The cost seems comparable to other non-PCS laptops on the market. I’d be interested in any...

Hello, I have a Vortex laptop that was purchased in 2013 that I'm trying to keep going until some AMD CPU//RTX3000 combo laptops are released later this year (hopefully). The laptop works well for the most part but, recently, the GPU (GTX 675MX) has stopped working. I get the following note...

Hi All, I'm looking for a laptop to replace a family desktop. A 17" screen is preferable and the laptop will be used for the general MS Office applications, light photoshop use and a design/drawing application for woodworking projects. Gaming is a possibility! I also have a lot of photos that...
