Hello everyone. Currently I am awaiting for the new laptop from PC specialist - Recoil II. Because I have to wait , I have some intension to speak and discuss all about this laptop, my experience and some info that I have found.
History:
My last laptop was MacBook air mid.2013 13 inches. And actually I didn't use it a lot, since I were in that moment in Ukraine , and I have a PC at home. Later, I move to Italy for studying, and the only machine I have was already old MacBook mentioned before. And of course I was struggling with power-demanding tasks like video and photo editing (specially due to not enough space), gaming. The only weight was perfect. From this summer I started to think about and search around for the laptops. So the laptop is only possible way for me, because I don't have enough possibilities to host a big pc.
In reallity it was difficult to find a good enough laptop with 2kg weight and still slim shassi. There few possible laptops, but all of them were much expensive and I have some drawbacks on each of them.
We are coming to the specs of my Recoil II.
I decided to go for 60hz display, cause for me it is an overlay for 120 Hz display, I am not a cybersportsman. For ram 16 GB maybe is more than I need. But for the future could be nice to have a lot. Also I didn't want to have the same amount of RAM as my smartphone .
Graphic card was a crucial criteria - 1060 in my opinion is a good deal-breaker in this moment and for the future.
The most difficult part was the storage.
I was thinking about few ways, and finally choseed HDD+SSD. In particular, 1tb 7200 rpm and intel 760p 256gb.
Since summer time, I was wondering for the new laptop while I were saving some money. And watched like 7 text reviews and 10 videos. And I am a little bit disappointed by the fact that there is not enough reviews in the internet. So I had to observe additionally some Spanish and Polish one without a decent knowledge of these languages. After all, I found some videos about tongfung shassi .
I also think, could be nice, if the owners of Recoil II (and other shassi ) could have their own forum section, or at least a topic with particular FAQ, tips, links to the some threads (like the ones about battery replacement for recoil). Because a lot of threads in different section is just threads without information of particular model.

2) Decided to add sub-order, changing the ram from 2133 to 2400 and 760p intel ssd to similiar samsung 870evo with a small additional payment.

4) Test Date 30-10-2018
