    No troubles at all installing Windows. Took about 5-10 minutes. Then just grabbed all the drivers from the PCS Download section. One battery is fine for me as I’m always going to use it on mains. Might even benefit if I remove it entirely. Up to you though if you need 2 batteries and you don’t...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Review for the Optimus PRO XI

    I agree. However these are pretty poor even by laptop standards. It could be a driver issue. The sound is just low and there is zero bass. For example if I’m gaming and the fans go above 50% I can just about make the sound out. It’s nothing major. I use headphones 90% of the time. The laptop...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Review for the Optimus PRO XI

    I've had this Laptop for 3 days now. It's superb! What a beast. It's crunching numbers and Multi Tasking hooking up to 3 Monitors is a breeze. The RTX 2060 is playing everything I throw at it at high/ultra settings. Where this Laptop really shines is the CPU. The Ryzen 7 4800H is a beast. I've...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST In Testing - Problem - Can't find the issue?

    Hey guys, I've just checked the order status of my Laptop and it's saying In Testing - Problem. I can't see what the problem is? I've tried calling but no answer in over 90 minutes. (Currently at work) Does it normally state what the issue is when there is a problem? I'll have to try emailing PCS.

    True, he specced the 3600 so was just letting him know it's probably weaker than the Laptop 4800h :)

    The Nova has a desktop Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and the Laptop has a Ryzen 7 4800H Mobile CPU. However the 4800H is more powerful it would seem. The Nova has a nice upgrade path though to stronger CPU's down the line if you need to upgrade.
