THERMAL PERFORMANCE: First, I exported some small video 1080 clips and got these max temps with the default -0.50V undervolt. Next image shows results with a -0.125V undervolt, basically doing the same stuff - exporting some videos. ] Temps indeed went down. It was a warm summer day when I...

Hi all, I received my Vortex a week ago and would like to share my experience with it so far. I'm a chef and have been super busy with work lately, but so far managed to have a play with it a bit. This is a replacement for my previous PCSpecialist Defiance I laptop, purchased in 2015. I'll be...

I just bought a Vortex IX. Screen is very nice. Will post a review in a week.

Reminds me of this

Just for a laugh, I tried to make an insanely high quote. What's the highest you can make? QTY 999 TOTAL £3,822,174.00 inc VAT and Delivery This includes a £59,940.00 bulk buy discount. Current estimated lead times: 3 to 5 working days. Yeah good luck delivering that in 5 working days lol

I've been using high-spec laptops for over a decade from various manufacturers (Acer, dell, Asus, pcspecialist) and always get around those temps or more when a process is running. Your CPU will run hot until it gets the job done. My current Defiance laptop bought in 2015 has been running hot...

Okay it doesn't let me proceed with the 180 watt adaptor now. Possibly a glitch on my end or they updated it. Fantastic review by the way

Why is there a choice of 180 Watt or 230 Watt adaptor? The website seems happy to accept both for a 2070 GPU config. Is there any reason for this? Excuse the ignorance.

Nice, I didn't notice that before. I will keep an open mind and have this as a possible option for me. Will be waiting to see if anything else pops up in the meantime. Thank you.

What's the refresh rate?

No chance. I wouldn't even consider that a laptop. God knows how much just the 330 watt power brick weighs.

So I emailed them late at night, and quite impressively PCSpecialist replied very promptly at 7:30am. What time do these poor guys start work?? lol Anyway, the response was: "Thanks for getting in touch with us regarding our products, I did check into this not so long ago as a few people have...

Okay I will post an update here. Just awaiting a response. Thank you.

My Defiance Model 1 has a 2880x1620 resolution (3K) and was purchased in 2015. It runs great still, but the left screen hinge is hanging on by a thread and I was thinking to just replace the laptop. Was looking to Spend £1500+ on a new laptop, had my eyes on the Defiance V RTX, but it only has...

I've travelled a lot. If you want to see the world, don't bring a gaming laptop, otherwise you might as well just stay at home. Just my opinion anyway. Although when I lived in Bangkok for a year working as a chef, it was nice to have a powerful laptop to play games on quiet nights. But it...

Hi all, I opened my laptop and unplugged the battery, then put it back in. Now it doesn't work. Laptop will not switch on and powers off immediately when unplugged from the mains power source. Strangely enough, the battery in Windows shows it's fully charged and at 100% Only thing...

Let's say in three years time I want to get a new laptop, what sort of problems will I run into regarding installing Windows 7? Would I just lose the ability to use the multimedia buttons or will I likely face a serious lack of drivers for important hardware? There is just no way I'll ever...

Sometimes when I put the Defiance II in my laptop bag, I come home to find that it has become a sauna inside the bag. The laptop turns itself on. It's done this quite a few times, and I assumed "oh the lid must have moved, causing it to wake up". But the other night, I was asleep, probably...

I tried in Nvidia control panel to set it on globally and specifically for the program I am using (LightZone - an image editing software) but doesn't seem to work. Confirmed by opening GPU-z and seeing clock frequency at 0mhz and no temp readings. It works fine for games, but was just...
