What are the speakers like on the new models? I had a Defiance laptop before and I didn't like the speaker quality on it so I sold it.

I installed all the drivers that was available to download. My laptop runs Windows 11 but the fans were also like that running Windows 10. Maybe I should go back to 10 see how it runs then.

It’s not my first plastic gaming laptop I had. I’m looking at returning it and getting a more sturdy aluminium laptop that will make cooling better.

I read on one forum that selecting intergrated graphics helps and only use the card when playing games.

Here they are. It's strange. It only happens when I have my charger plugged in.. I run Windows 11 on both my PC and laptop and my PC runs fine it doesn't overheat. Chassis & Display Defiance Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 240Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™...

I bought a Defiance laptop in March and I notice that the laptop is not cooling properly. The CPU temp is at 90 degrees whilst plugged in. It’s my second gaming laptop with this kind of fan software and I have created another RMA for a refund so I can get a different model. They said after the...

So I'm planning on upgrading my desktop PC to the new Ryzen 5000 platform since I had my Intel 9th gen system since December 2018 and there's a new Oddworld game coming out next month called Soulstorm and I want to build a faster system for it to handle streaming that game and my Unity game...

Basically, I will be using the laptop for playing games and game development work on Unity and audio/music production work on programs like Cubase, Mixcraft, Audacity etc.

So I'm planning on ordering an RTX 3070 laptop. Ideally, I want an additional drive for storage and a large drive for Windows and my programs. Would this build be good enough for my needs? Chassis & Display Defiance Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 240Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor...

Yeah I think that's a good idea. I'll wait till I'm ready to order my next system and I can have a look then.

So this year I am due to be ordering my next custom PC and I was wondering what you guys think of this build. Hopefully I will get a job again working as an IT technician and I am more likely able to afford a system like this once I'm back to work again. For my next system, I want it to be...

That's good to to know.

Yeah this laptop weighs slightly less than the Intel laptop I seen, the other one weighing over 3kg.

Yeah I was speaking to someone on the live chat the other day and they were also suggesting I should get either a Viper or a Recoil 4 but both of them have webcams on the bottom of the laptop which might be a bit awkward position when filming YouTube videos or streaming.
