    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Power Delivery issue crippling Laptop underload.

    Thanks I will do. Another thing i've just noticed. when I load up a game and the benchmark actually the laptop went from being "plugged In" to being "on Battery" because the screen dimmed as it changes into battery power plan. and then came out of the game to find it saying on battery, despite...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Can't Deside Which Laptop 🙃

    Hey Luc, I use the IONICO 15 with R9 5900HX and RTX 3070 What do you want to do with the laptop? is it going to be a mobile workstation that needs to travel with you for work and therefore be able to perform off power and be portable? or will you be mostly using it for gaming... so plugged...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ionico 15 (2021) first look

    Really cool look at your laptop cheers. I'm waiting on this exact spec but with different SSD config. The only thing i was worried about, was the cooling solution in such a thin and light but your GPU temps seemed reasonable and as you say i think the ryzen 5000 chips just run hot. can't wait to...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Mobile Ryzen only being offered with RECOIL atm?

    Haha that's funny. Certainly true, anecdotal evidence is always crap but there's definitely value in compiling benchmarks of real world use from the machines. needs more data ha.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Mobile Ryzen only being offered with RECOIL atm?

    But That's not to say the Ryzen Zen 3 chips have flawless security, just recently with the discovery of the bug in the Predictive store forwarding of the new chips similar to Spectre Variant 4 vulnerabilities in the Intel's. Granted, a very difficult vulnerability to exploit but people will...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Mobile Ryzen only being offered with RECOIL atm?

    I agree and I think people shouldn't be paying the massively inflated prices over MSRP for the Ryzen CPU's because of the hype and therefore demand, when they could save lots of money and still get a quality machine with an Intel based model.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Mobile Ryzen only being offered with RECOIL atm?

    I know, That's why everyone wants one! However, Yesterday the Price of a RECOIL 15.6 with Ryzen 9 5900HX and RTX 3070 with 16GB of RAM clocked at 2933MHz, a 500GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO SSD and a secondary 1TB PCS SSD was £1755 as of today that has increased to £2097 including VAT so a 19.5% increase...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST IONICO 15.6 - What do you think?

    it does seem the PCS website is a bit behind. As you say the chassis from tongfang all share the same motherboard and therefore IO so you'd assume it'd be DP1.4 direct to GPU and HDMI 2.1

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST IONICO 15.6 - What do you think?

    Yeah I agree driving the 4k panel definitely need the DP1.4. There are good moderators on the forum who are usually very active and helpful. I think some are employed by PCS but not sure. I'd try @Scott @SpyderTracks @ubuysa these guys know pretty much everything there is to know about everything!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Mobile Ryzen only being offered with RECOIL atm?

    Just noticed the RECOIL models starting price has risen to £1920 from £1560 and intel I7 CPU's are not available for selection, only the Ryzen 9 5900HX. (I Imagine the price increase is due to the lack of supply of the Ryzen chips and PCS have decided to focus only including the Ryzen CPU's in...
