    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Please check this for gaming potential

    I originally posted a spec for a Cosmos IX 15.6" for my son (See https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/just-checking-this-spec-for-a-15-6-cosmos-ix-is-ok-for-casual-gaming.77112/ ). It appears the graphic card (GeForce GTX 1650) I wanted is no longer available. The one that is...

    It seems there are supply problems around graphic card so I shall have to wait in hope. I don't think the 2GB GeForce MX350 will be appropriate.

    Thanks for this. I can see the Graphics Card we have chosen is not up there performance wise but budget constraints dictate at the moment. All the best.

    Many thanks for your suggestions. They make a lot of sense! I have kept them in but gone for your 1TB PCS suggestion as well. The battery life is less of a concern as he does keep his current laptop plugged in most of the time. On the subject of transferring the windows 10 licence that looks...

    Yes. If the GTX 1650 had been available in December the price would have been about £770 (the configuration process allowed an i5 at the time but said the GTX 1650 would be available until January 15th). Now only the i7 is available so the price now is £904. An Asus S200E with an i3 processor...

    Hi, I'm getting this laptop for my son. He will use it for his work etc. but wants to do some gaming as well. He is happy with what he calls "casual gaming" and is aware the graphics card is limited to 1080p gaming. Price is a bit of an issue which is why we've chosen this model. My...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Does this spec look ok?

    I'm doing exactly that - 500gb M2 and a 2TB SSD - it is a bit more cost possibly because it's SAMSUNG but it should be worth it.

    Thanks, I understand now. I've now swapped the sizes of the drives, so the 1st Storage drive is the larger one. You were right about the browser. The correct message came up on Edge. This is the message I got on Firefox yesterday. " We note that you have selected an M.2/PCI-E SSD drive and a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Does this spec look ok?

    I'm pretty well ok with it but I'm a bit confused about the hard drives, since I got a message when saving the quote about where to install the operating system - on SSD or on mechanical hard drive (not recommended). As far as I can see I ordered two SSDs, and no mechanical hard drive. Now I'm...
