    PCSPECIALIST Recoil 17 Touchpad

    Thank you. its a pity there seems to be no manual/guide available. I have to agree about not sure why you would want to disable 1/2 the touchpad

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil 17 Touchpad

    The latest version of CC available in the PCS web site for Win11 is 5.1.50.6 dated 03/04/2024 - so the version supplied with my machine is actually newer than the one available for download on the web site.

    PCSPECIALIST Review of Recoil 17in i9/RTX480

    I went for this laptop as I wanted something, not to play games, but primarily for Photo Editing, a bit of video editing and some general office type work and this one seemed to fit the bill. Wanted something that would be equally at home, in the office or on the move. I went for the ‘full spec’...

    PCSPECIALIST Is there a Manual available?

    Keys for BIOS and BOOT MENU - are these listed anywhere As for the NVME ports I saw a YouTube video that suggested there were 2x2080 and 2x2042

    PCSPECIALIST Is there a Manual available?

    Is there a manual available for the Recoil VIII beyond the 'Welcome' leaflet that is so generic as to be useless? I believe the system is based on the GM7IX8N but I can't find a manual for that either. Any links to a PDF? I'd like to know what key to hold to get to the BIOS. Wether the USB C...

    PCSPECIALIST Windows not activating

    Got my Recoil 17 with Win11 Pro Today - Went through the setup, updates etc, but Windows is not Active and refuses to activate without a Product Key. I was led to believe that activation was built into the BIOS and I do not have a Product Key. Is there a work around? Have messaged Tec Support...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop for Photo Editing

    I was hoping to avoid the water cooler to aid portability. How noisy are these machines without one? Ideally I want something I can sit on my lap in the front room without anoying everyone

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil 17 VIII Review (i9-14900HX / RTX 4070)

    How noisy is it? Is there a 'whisper' or 'quiet' mode and if so how easy is it to switch between the two
