    Hey everyone, I've had a 17" Defiance for about four months now, and while I am generally happy with it, I do have a few concerns regarding the cooling.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Defiance VII 17.3" - Almost unusable on battery

    Hey everyone, I've had my Defiance VII 17.3" laptop for about a month now, and while I am generally extremely happy with it, the one issue I cannot seem to solve is the performance on battery.
