So really pleased with my laptop so far after some months - i7 9750 and m2 Samsung ssd with 32gb ram used primarily for astro photo processing. Its made a huge difference even just opening my 900mb images! One question- the space bar does appear to be relatively small in comparison to my other...

It’s the Samsung m.2. Ssd that appears to slow down as the cpu increases.

I wanted to upgrade my laptop for processing Astro photography images in pixinsight. Things that were important to me are cpu, m2 ssd and ram. Pixinsight developers haven’t integrated the use of the GPU yet but the Optimus X came with an Nvidia GTX 1650 as standard so very pleased if they do...

Ok I may have a look. The tests were at exactly the same time and doing the same process - pixinsight benchmark test. The picture are his tests on the benchmark with the ssd speed reasonably stable. On mine (don’t have a pic) my cpu increases but my ssd decreases

I’m definitely happy :) Just thought it was a bit odd as I’m using the same Samsung 1tb m2 ssd as a friend and he consistently gets 1400mb/s +. Whereas my ssd speed goes slower the more the cpu is pushed.

My laptop arrived on Friday. Looks a real quality machine, well built and packaged from pc specialist! I’d definitely buy again! I ran the pixinsight benchmark a few times and getting great results . One question though- When I run the benchmark for the first time after switching on I get...

Got an email on Tuesday saying my laptop is in testing ! This is exciting, can’t wait to test it it on the pixinsight benchmark !

It’s the i7 9750. One question I have is that I’ve chosen 32gb 2666mhz ram but is that going to be much different to the 2133mhz ram ?

Just ordered an Optimus X from pc specialist which I plan to use for processing astronomy images in Pixinsight. I went for the Samsung m.2 1tb ssd and 32gb ram. The graphics card isn’t important to me as I don’t play games but it’s nice to have in case the pixinsight developers try to use the...

Hi all, Ive noticed on quite a few of the laptop models they only have a 2 in 1 card reader (SD, MMC) So this presumably means i couldn't use my SDHC cards? Thanks ken

Hi all, I’ve configured a laptop which I’m planing to use mostly for astrophotography processing with pixinsight. Pixinsight developers do recommend very high end processors and lots of RAM so I’m hoping my configuration will be adequate. I’m currently using an old 3227u processor with only...
