What kind of docking station are you using and are you trying to use a monitor with it? If so - many docking stations use DisplayLink to output to monitors connected to them. DisplayLink is a solution for outputting video via USB - it's not Thunderbolt or Alt-DP so will not have the performance...

Personally I would be looking at the 16 for that very reason if I were looking to buy a new laptop.

The new 2025 recoil 16 has an AMD CPU option which many would consider superior at the moment so unless you have need for an 18" screen I would be looking at the 16".

My 2023 Recoil has GSync - not sure why they would remove it from the 2025 model so I expect you'll be fine. PCS would be able to confirm.

I think this policy is ridiculous. Part of keeping a PC running well and ensuring ongoing compatibility with drivers etc is keeping the BIOS up to data as well as Windows.

That would indeed do the job but as has already been said, if you have lost USB functionality - you are screwed anyway.

If you specifically need PS2 ports you can get this from Amazon PS2 to USB adaptor

There should be no leakage inside the laptop as the cooling pipes go to the outside at the back. They are "quick disconnect" couplings as well so you can just pop them off (not while the cooler is running though) and only a couple of drops might escape on to your desk. It will run better with...

I'm currently running on Kryosheet. Thermals are good. The Liquid Metal was a real pain to clean up though.

It probably was at one time but would have been overtaken by better options.

I didn't see any mention of that.

You manged to get a 5080FE?? 🤯 You must have one of only about 3 in the country! 😁

You've understood it correctly. And it's more than just a smidge. ;)

The PCS Recoil Laptops usually use the same chassis as the XMG Neo laptops. System integrators get these and add their own options to them. The chassis is made by a company called TongFang operating out of Hong Kong. XMG previewed their upcoming 2025 model of the Neo 16 at CES and it's looking...

I wasn't referencing the Recoil specifically. The new AMD CPU would go very well in a more budget gaming device. The recoil is a beast of a device (very happy with mine) and I'm interested to see what TongFang and specifically PCS's implementation offers for the Recoil range in 2025.

True but AMD are promoting the Max+395 as being good for gaming. I think if you're staying on the laptop screen it probably is for all but the most demanding games but yes, if you're using an external monitor you'll want higher end dGPU as the iGPU in this case is supposed to be equivalent to a...

Hopefully we will see a gaming laptop/mobile workstation with the new AMD Ryzen™ Al Max+ 395 sometime soon. That would be nice. It has the CPU (16 cores 32 threads) and GPU (Radeon 8060) in a single package. AMD likes to call them APUs...

Looks good but I would wait for the 5070 GPU to be available as this would be a significant step up in performance from the 4070. The 9800X3D is definitely the right choice for the CPU. You might also benefit from faster RAM than 4800 too. If 5600 or 6000 speed is not significantly more...

Also known as Mobile Workstations. That said - mine does live permanently on my desk. Also - point to note - the new 2025 models should be out soon utilizing the newest generation CPUs and GPUs. For water-cooling, I run my Recoil 17 with the water-cooler full time. When powering on I switch on...

With Trump talking openly about taking over the Panama Canal and Greenland, and hinting on trying to incorporate Canada into the Union, not ruling out taking them by force, I think your paranoia might be well placed. Scary times. :(
