    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Clevo N150RF (Optimus Vll Pro, 15.6 inch) - How to open it?

    Just received my Optimus Vll a couple of hours ago, and I see no obvious way in which to open it? There seems to be no images or videos online of the laptop's insides, so I can't for the life of me see how it comes apart.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Laptops in the next gen era?

    How do you guys think the new next generation games will fare on slightly older gaming laptops? I've got a 675M myself, and was wondering whether or not buying myself a 680M or 700M card off of ebay might be 'necessary'. The consoles don't seem to be all that amazing, spec-wise. So I'm hopeful!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vortex lll and the new Haswell/Nvidia chips.

    So, I just noticed that the new Haswell processors and 700M Nvidia cards are now in the new Vortex lV chassis and was wondering whether or not these would work inside my Vortex lll? Love my laptop, but would love to ditch this 675M for something, new, shiny and kepler. New processor would be...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Screen "bleeding?"

    My Vortex lll has, for quite a while now, had faint red line areas on its screen for a while. While these were initially minor, they are not only slowly becoming more and more noticeable during everyday use, but are becoming bigger and bigger. The initial line is actually "bleeding" and has bled...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Oxidation on heatsink

    Just curious, would large amounts of oxidation on a laptop heatsink negatively impact it in any way? Also, what do you guys reckon the best way to remove it is? Thanks.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Thermal repaste, CPU idle temp spike

    Hi, after playing Crysis 3 and seeing how much hot my laptop got playing it (Vortex lll, 3610qm, 675m) I decided to reapply the thermal paste to both my CPU and GPU. At first, everything seemed fine. My GPU temps went from 95 degrees to 75 and my CPU was maxing out at 65 degrees. The problem...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Red smudges on Vortex lll's screen.

    ^ the title, really. I'm not sure if it's always been there, or if I've only noticed it recently, but when my screen is black or dark etc. there are distinct red smudges on my laptop screen. It doesn't bother me, but they appear (It might just be me, though) to be getting bigger, and I'm afraid...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Clicking hard drive warranty?

    Hi, the hard drive from my Vortex 3 has broken and makes whirring and beeping sounds and doesn't boot Windows, it isn't detected by my laptop and I'm pretty sure all my college work is gone. My question is: Would my silver warranty cover this? And how would I get a replacement? Call? Send my...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 95 degrees 3610qm.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but 95 degrees while rendering a 3D animation, and 80 degrees on Far Cry 3, aren't good temperatures for a CPU. Any ideas why its so high...?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Extremely paranoid about my temperatures.

    Posted more than once about this... But it's worrying me, so. My GTX 675m is hitting 90 degrees on AC3 and the new Hitman game, as well as games like BF3 and Crysis 2. Repasting, cleaning, no bottom lid, laptop cooler... Nothing seems to lower the temps, and well, I'm afraid my card's lifespan...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 675m heat.

    Hi :) I've had my Vortex lll with a 675m for a good couple of months now, and have begun to notice how hot the GPU can get and was wondering whether anyone could provide any tips on how to cool it down? It climbs to 90 degrees very quickly when playing World Of Warcraft, and beyond cleaning the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Back lit keyboard colour.

    Is it possible to change the Vortex lll's back lit keyboard colour from blue to anything else? And if so, how? I can't seem to find anything about it.

    I could not find any information on this site, or on several others, so I quite simply want to know whether SLI could be possible in the Vortex lll? http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/673583-p150em-upgrading-675m-680m.html If you scroll down on this page, the poster has uploaded a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST No Bluetooth?

    I received my Vortex 3 a couple of days ago, and have realised that even with drivers installed, a Bluetooth device can not be found. Could this be due to an actual lack of a Bluetooth device, or is there something wrong with drivers etc.? Any ideas on how to fix?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vortex lll LE card...

    I made a thread a while back regarding this laptop about whether it would accept a 675m, and was told by PCS that it wouldn't. All well and good, I accepted this and looked at several other purchases, but recently I noticed on the detailed specification page that the laptop battery life was...

    I am currently adamant on purchasing a £900 system from this site, but my income only allows me to pay via the finance method. However, I am really concerned about the strict requirements regarding credit rating... What factors would contribute to the declining of my purchase, and how strict...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Overclocking 3610qm?

    Getting a laptop from this site tomorrow that has an i7 3610qm, and was wondering whether it would be overclockable? I enjoyed reaching 2ghz on my old m11x r1 from the stock 1.3ghz and have read about some m17(18? Cant recall) talking about reaching 4.6ghz on the same CPU using a single core...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Upgrading 660M GPU possible?

    I plan to buy a £900 15.6" Vortex III LE in couple of days, and plan on getting the 660M 1GB GPU. I am concerned about longevity however, I bought an Alienware M11x last year which was a horrible experience, and am wondering if this GPU could be upgraded easily when the card becomes less...
