    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST A Proper Drivers Download Section

    It would be great to see the Drivers download section in the PCS account area used more. For me it's pretty much blank. Reasons faster download speed than clevo servers (200 KB/s) for me, when I get 1000 KB/s elsewhere if you upgrade OS (e.g. from 7 to 8) the CD sent by PCS isn't of much use...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Optimus II wireless card / hardware "unconnected"

    Hi all had a search through the forum but couldn't see anyone one with a similar problem. I've had a long running problem with my wireless (~6 months) Sometimes, when I turn on the laptop, the computer is unable to 'see' a wireless card physically connected. It's almost as if the hardware...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vortex III 15.6 gaming laptop! What are your thoughts?

    Hi all - what do you think? I don't know much about hardware been doing my best with reviews. Am selling my Optimus II to my gf, as her macbook is too slow :wheelchair:, which means I can get a new laptop! I have my own SSD (Crucial CT128M4SSD1 128GB M4 £90) to install. £1,200 is about my...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vortex III mSATA as ubuntu (or any OS) boot drive

    Can you boot from an mSATA SSD in the Vortex III? This would be great as I could use the mSATA disk for ubuntu and have windows 7 on an SSD in an optical disk caddy. This way I don't have to mess around with bootloaders, which are generally ugly and a little annoying. I would be more than happy...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vortex III without fingerprint scanner?

    This request is a little bit strange but I was wondering if it possible to get the Vortex III without a fingerprint scanner. I never use them so they tend to just collect dust and become something that I have to keep clean. Thanks =]

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Installing Windows Problems with SSD

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST i7-2760QM Order?

    Bad times. I'm on my 11th working day and my Optimus II 15" has only just left pre-production. Its now awaiting i7-2760QM. Do any of the PCS people know when they're due roughly? I'm tempted to just get a refund and to get this from [another source] (they have the things in stock). Probably...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST eSATA on Optimus II 15"

    Hi all, Is the eSATA port on the Optimus II 15" powered? i.e. if I inserted an eSATAp cable into this port would it power a hd? or are esata and esatap entirely separate type of ports that I've confused? Also is it eSATA II or III? With an eSATAp to SATA cable I thought I could use some old...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Optimus II Gaming Laptop

    Hi all, I was looking at this build for a gaming laptop. It would be great to know what you think! I'm confused about which cpu would be best suited to me though as I can't find much information out there to make and informed decision. (I've generally been using passmark to judge things so...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 2nd Hard drive

    Hi all! I was checking out the 15.6" Optimus II. It looked great from the photos much nicer than my old khlb2. I want to find my own SSD and add to the laptop post-purchase as an additional hd, since I think i can get a better deal. On the configuration page there's the option for a 2nd hard...
