Oh wow! I found the fix, but is really weird! PCS support emailed me and suggested I uninstall and reinstall the Control Centre application. Just by chance, whilst Control Centre was uninstalled, I looked at the Touchpad/Mouse properties in Control Panel (as your first reply suggested), low and...

According to all my web searches and Windows Updates, I already have the latest.

That was the first thing I tried. There is no such checkbox.

I have a new 17.3" Octane VI laptop from PCS running Windows 10 Pro x64. I am an old fashioned user who only likes mice for pointer input. I have an MS 6000 Comfort mouse connected via USB and want to disable the built in touchpad. I have spent many hours searching the interweb and have tried...

Well to end this thread where it started...I emailed PCS asking if they would offer a promo code for a first order from a new customer, and although they did not send me a specific code, my order miraculously reduced in price by £15 overnight. So, a little persistence and patience goes a long...

I think this just about sums it up, and so yes, I will just go ahead with my order. It'll just be my luck, I get a "promo code" after paying full price for my build!

Thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated. However, the "price challenge" is not really what I was looking for. I do believe PCS are competitive on price compared to others of an equal standard; i.e. we will always find "cheaper" for a lower standard build. As I mentioed in my original...

Thanks, much appreciated!

Apologies for posting a link, I know better for the future. Thanks for the "too good to be true" advice.

ggabu would be good. Don't ask, it's a long story, but ggabu has personal meaning to me :)

I am on the verge of ordering a new laptop custom build from PCS, so I was wondering if I should sell my current (soon to be redundant) laptop. “Sell your laptop” seem to be offering the highest quotes, but their reviews/feedback is not very positive. Any ideas?

How do I change my forum username? gargur was somehow auto-generated and is just weird!!! I've looked at all my profile settings, but I cannot see a way to change the username.

If the only promos were for less than £50, then I may not bother; I was hoping for something more like 10% of the build cost. I am quite happy with my build configuration, but equally, I appreciate any help offered, so here it is: Chassis & Display Octane Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72%...

I fear you may be right! But at £3000+, I will not be making more than one order any time soon!

I am on the verge of ordering a new custom Laptop build costing in excess of £3000. I saw during the ordering process that I can add a "promo code" to ease the cost a bit. However, I have spent many hours trawling the interweb but I cannot find a valid "promo code" anywhere. Does anyone know of...

Fantastic!!! Thanks SpyderTracks. I simply swapped the the drive capacities around i.e. a 250GB NVME for the OS and a 2TB 860 EVO 2.5" SSD for storage and saved myself £200. Thanks for the advice.

Here is a new quote for a laptop I am thinking about getting from PCSpecialists: Chassis & Display Octane Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) + G-Sync Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i9 Eight Core Processor i9-9900K (3.6GHz) 16MB Cache Get Total War: Three...
