I just checked the current line-up and saw the 15.6 Defiance is now refreshed into a Defiance XS. As an ownder of the predecessor I noticed the following main differences: Thickness: 18.6mm vs 25mm on previous model. Weight: 1.9kg vs 3kg on previous model Less HDD capacoty: 1 x M.2 and 1x 7mm...

..ended up being pretty great to be honest :) Laptop died on 12th, PCS shipped a box on 13th, DPD picked it up on 14th, PCS got it on 15th, PCS sent me an automated 3 day "sorry it isnt fixed yet" message on 18th, PCS sent me an update on 22nd and shipped it on 22nd and I got it today. I...

My defiance III passed away last night in its sleep, at 9 months... so young... Funeral is on thursday, waiting for PCS to confirm the RMA arrangements. Really appreciate everyones thoughts being with me during this difficult time.

Anyone else having this problem? I went out and everything was working. I got back, the laptop had restarted after windows update and now the HDMI port just doesn't work. I tried 2 cables, 2 different monitors and a TV in all possible combinations. Reinstalled the Geforce drivers. Tried to...

From the GDC conference: 35% better than GTX 1080 3584 cuda cores 11GB 11Gbps Globally releases next week for $699, no doubt we will have to pay a lot more. No idea when PCS will get it though but probably soon

Hi In using my new laptop, I found a few tricks by accident, and further digging. So here is some information which is hopefully useful to some of you. Clevo Control Centre and CPU utilization Of the four profiles in the Control Centre, three of them have an impact on CPU clock speeds: 1)...

I could have sworn I got like a score of 6 one time! I don't know, but I always tested the laptop in the optimus mode and I got 6.8 when I tested it 10 minutes ago. Then I put it into discrete mode and managed to get this: Strange. EDIT: the above was an anomaly and I can't get that score...

I'm new here :sorcerer: :tooth: :whistling:

OK I will try to be brief but you all know I struggle. I was playing with keyboard lighting and realised that the flexikeys software custom profiles only give limited options (setting colours per 3 zones and 3 brightness levels) but the other colour profiles in the software demonstrate that the...

Everything else works in FlexiKeys but whenever I scroll to the colour picker it crashes immediately... "combokeys has stopped working". It has a problem signature 09: System.ArgumentOutOfRange. This has only been happening since 10/01/2017 and I noticed that my system did a "Cumulative Update...

And finally.... And please try to ignore the dust. I cleaned this thing like 10 times whilst taking this pictures but it just loves having things stick to it. And who am I to get in the way of such love

To follow up on a couple of things, I recently had an issue with installing an NVMe in the system. Main point here is to ensure your OS drive isn't on an M.2 SATA if you want to put an NVMe in because you have to remove the M.2 SATA for it to work. It involved 2 bouts of drive cloning from an...

I finally got round to installing my SM961 but it isn't being detected. I can't see it in disk management or in the BIOS. The slot does work fine when I put an M.2 in there so I know the slot it working. I am running windows 10 pro, I saw some posts about UEFI being enabled and in my BIOS, it is...

Just to round things off for now, the individual 3D test scores are below, compared with the selected baseline GPUs: DX9 scores showed a broad range for the 1060s, but were significantly lower than Maxwell DX10 saw the DX9 scores and started to fight back DX11 saw the DX10 and DX9 scores...

So firstly the overall scores: The main ones are the CPU and GPU ones though, the memory and disk are down to your personal configuration. I also added a bunch of GTX 1060s to compare with, as well as a couple of 970m's, 980m's and a GTX 960. One 970m baseline was higher than my 1060, the...

Flexikey screens: In addition, I did a preliminary overclock with furmark as shown here, compared with the base clock: With +265 core and +535 memory this was stable for furmark but unstable elsewhere. After doing heaven, valley and 3D mark tests, my final OC that I am happy with is...

Gather round, its time for a review :chef: Specifications highlights as follows: i7 6700HQ, GTX 1060, 16GB DDR4 HyperX Impact 2133MHz, 128Gb M.2 SSD (to be replaced soon with a 256GB NVMe), 250Gb Samsung 840 SSD* (see the note), 2Tb Samsung Spinpoint M9T HDD I also paid for the gold warranty...

...because I received an email about this recently and since then, also noticed the number of 3 sentence reviews of laptops start to increase.

I have checked online on other fora and my battery life seems to be complete ****ake mushrooms :chef: compared to everyone else's. I can only squeeze out 3.5hrs or so, have been fighting for at least 4hr runtime for a few days. I installed hwinfo and some other software to monitor my realtime...
