HI guys, looking for opinions. Bought a PCS Vortex laptop in October last year and it's a cracking machine but I did notice a tiny bit of light bleed on first boot - nothing too dramatic though. However, it seems to have gotten worse over time and it's starting to put me off from using the...

After about eight months of forum lurking, the i7 discount has finally persuaded me to bite on a new Vortex laptop. 9750H temperatures concern me... wish me luck that I get a good one :)

May or may not be related, but I noticed a similar issue with my desktop about a week ago (could've been a windows update but I'm not certain) - with no changes from myself, my mouse speed seemed to change by itself. I've messed about with the mouse option in the control panel and the mouse...
