After realizing that an i3, i5 or i7 is too much for my needs, and consumes too much battery, I'm now desperately looking to buy a laptop fitted with the N3540 CPU. However, PCS is only offering a single one, and that has the screen too big (15.6") thus negating any battery gains I might have...

I received my laptop on the 6th and put in a right to cancel on the 19th. That's 13 days in my book, but they declined it on the reason that the term has expired. I don't see how that's expired. What can I do? To whom can I report a business that does not honour the 14 day right to cancel...

I got a 13.3" Optimus. Won't post spec as it's not really that different from all the possible combinations. It has a 4710MQ and a 120GB SSD, that's the important part. Now the review: Don't buy this junk. 1). The screen (top lid) is very thin. Credit card thin. Wiping it with a soft cloth is...

My W230SS just arrived and I already started testing. So far, here's my list of tweaks: 1. Is your W230SS mSATA hot? If you download SpeedFan or HD Tune you can see the temperature of your mSATA SSD. If it's around 55 Celsius in idle, that's too hot. The operating temperatures of the drive...

Windows 10 Technical Preview is out! It installs easy, it runs good, it looks good, however since it's a Technical Preview, expect bugs. You can download it for free (because it's a pre-view) here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview

Check out this baby: This is going to be mine soon. Optimus V 13.3" No idea from where to get the clear bottom, but I'm dead set on getting it even if I have to make it myself.

Based on the amounts of complaints about: a) Overheating laptops. Laptops which fail to work upon delivery. Laptops who aren't even put together right upon return from RMA b) The number of orders that have waiting times already which are TRIPLE the approximately estimated timeframe. I have...

I just bought an Optimus 13.3" I want to amend my order and get a cooling pad for it. Can't find one that's only for 13.3" (ok maybe max 14") OR SMALLER. All of them are either up to 15.6 or even worse, up to 17". I don't want to buy a 17" cooling pad for my 13.3" laptop. It defeats the very...

While PCS lists manufacturers for SOME of the components they use, they don't list it for all. For example, who is the manufacturer for the graphics card they use? I understand it's nVIDIA, but that's just the chipset. Who is the actual manufacturer of the graphics card? MSI? Asus? XFX? EVGA...

Hi, I've just bought an Optimus 13.3" - it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm concerned about the drivers. What I want to know is if the drivers are modified in any way by PCS or if I can get them directly from each manufacturer individually? Why am I asking? Well, because frankly, PCS is putting...

Chassis & Display Optimus Series: 13.3" Matte Full HD LED IPS Widescreen (1920x1080) -- Because the QHD, although supposedly better, would be more power hungry and the resolution would be too high for a small screen. I would still run on 1920x1080. Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core...

I have all my savings in Bitcoin, and while I would love to use my credit card, there's a fee for using it. I'd rather not pay a fee to the credit card companies. (I do appreciate PCS putting that fee as an extra and not just adding it in the total price. I know they do not get that money, which...

Why isn't there no mention of any motherboard anywhere in the specifications? I'd like to know for example, what is the exact model of the motherboard used on the Optimus 13.3" - among other things, there are some important specifications when making a decision - such as: is mSATA SATA2 or SATA3?

I have been watching the 13.3" laptop for months now. I wanted to buy it at first but then couldn't for a bit and now won't. I mean, here you have a planet onto which technology changes so fast you need to upgrade everything every single year almost, yet here you have this laptop which for the...
