Got a fancy laptop. Pretty high spec, so understadably the battery life isn't going to be great compared to most other laptops out there. But this particular one was advertised to have a big battery with up to 7 hours. With light usage (surfing the web), I'll get less than 2 hours. Maybe a bit...

Used to be a good company. Driver today lied about no one being home. Checked reviews and seems like it's a common thing now with DPD messing up everything.

Hi all, I received my Vortex a week ago and would like to share my experience with it so far. I'm a chef and have been super busy with work lately, but so far managed to have a play with it a bit. This is a replacement for my previous PCSpecialist Defiance I laptop, purchased in 2015. I'll be...

My Defiance Model 1 has a 2880x1620 resolution (3K) and was purchased in 2015. It runs great still, but the left screen hinge is hanging on by a thread and I was thinking to just replace the laptop. Was looking to Spend £1500+ on a new laptop, had my eyes on the Defiance V RTX, but it only has...

Hi all, I opened my laptop and unplugged the battery, then put it back in. Now it doesn't work. Laptop will not switch on and powers off immediately when unplugged from the mains power source. Strangely enough, the battery in Windows shows it's fully charged and at 100% Only thing...

Let's say in three years time I want to get a new laptop, what sort of problems will I run into regarding installing Windows 7? Would I just lose the ability to use the multimedia buttons or will I likely face a serious lack of drivers for important hardware? There is just no way I'll ever...

Sometimes when I put the Defiance II in my laptop bag, I come home to find that it has become a sauna inside the bag. The laptop turns itself on. It's done this quite a few times, and I assumed "oh the lid must have moved, causing it to wake up". But the other night, I was asleep, probably...

I tried in Nvidia control panel to set it on globally and specifically for the program I am using (LightZone - an image editing software) but doesn't seem to work. Confirmed by opening GPU-z and seeing clock frequency at 0mhz and no temp readings. It works fine for games, but was just...

I got my laptop back today from pcspecialist to sort out some heat issues. I kept the SSD since I needed to access some data. So anyway, I put the SSD back in and fired it up but it says there is no boot device. Oddly enough there seems to be no option to access bios menu. Not even the...

Can someone recommend a cooling pad for Defiance 15, thanks. CPU is reaching almost 100C when many tabs in chrome open or gaming. Surely can't be dust since the laptop is only a few months old. Maybe the thermal paste dun goofed? It's definitely running hotter. Then again, maybe it's the weather...

Hi all, I am soon to be ordering an Optimus 6 soon I think, with an i7, 16Gb DDR3, 1TB SSD, 4k screen and a 960m. My current laptop is pretty much on life support, I've rebuilt it several times to keep it semi-functioning. What are the operating temperatures to be expected under load and idle...
