    PCSPECIALIST Just ordered the most expensive laptop I never thought I'd need.

    The GPU only has a MUX switch, not advanced optimus. so If you're in dGPU mode, the GPU will always be on and wont sleep when its not being used, you'll need to set it to iGPU mode and restart the laptop, then the Nvida GPU will only fire up when it's call upon, but this will be in a passthrough...

    PCSPECIALIST Any recommendations for this Recoil 16?

    Hi, I think I saw this same post on Discord. I'll repeat what I said there. It will let you add the liquid cooler if you click the drop down arrow, not the text. Seems a bit of a glitch with the configurator. I personally went for the AMD as an extra months wait seems worth it if it performs...

    As the other user said, you'll need to first upgrade your existing laptop to 11, otherwise you'll need a fresh install of 10 on the new laptop. But, if your license came with the laptop, rather than retail. then it's likely OEM locked to the motherboard

    PCSPECIALIST New Recoil 18£

    The intel spec sheet for the 275HX confirms this although doesn't give the numbers. I believe you can also get faster speeds with XMP ram using 4 slots, but don't take my word on that.

    PCSPECIALIST New Recoil 18£

    I'm not sure how this specifically relates to the 275hx. But I know that with the 13th gen CPU's with ddr5, if you're using 4 slots with each stick single ranked (32gb per stick) the max speed you can achieve is 4000mt/s. you can have faster speeds with less sticks, but the limitation is the...

    PCSPECIALIST PCS RECOIL 16 - 2024: DISPLAY ISSUE - ADVANCED OPTIMUS & G SYNC NOT SHOWING IN NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL

    I asked out of curiosity if he ever got it working, I'm not expecting it to have any effect on my purchase. Jeez are people not allowed to ask each other questions on this forum? From my last email with PCS, they're still yet to receive the 2025 model, so they have no info on it either.

    PCSPECIALIST PCS RECOIL 16 - 2024: DISPLAY ISSUE - ADVANCED OPTIMUS & G SYNC NOT SHOWING IN NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL

    Its not ignorance, I'm merely asking a question to someone who has the equipment and the ability to give an accurate answer, but any question on here seems to face a response from you and your serious case of Dunning-Kruger effect. I'm aware that the the laptop does not have Advanced Optimus...

    PCSPECIALIST PCS RECOIL 16 - 2024: DISPLAY ISSUE - ADVANCED OPTIMUS & G SYNC NOT SHOWING IN NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL

    Why do you feel the need to respond to everything without any knowledge at all? If you have a recoil 16 and can test this for me, then great. Otherwise, I'd rather my question was unanswered, than my time wasted.

    Would G-Sync show in dGPU mode? or simply not at all?

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil 16 G-SYNC

    I've recently pre-ordered A Recoil16 AMD 9955HX3D with an RTX 5090. There's not too much info on the PCS website in terms of features other than the Spec Sheet. Unlike other SI's of the same system, the Recoil does not have Advanced Optimus, nor does it have G-SYNC. But is anyone able to...

    I tried, you can complete the purchase with no SSD

    PCSPECIALIST Just ordered the most expensive laptop I never thought I'd need.

    I expect that RAM is needed to verify the system prior to sending, but I know XMG sell this laptop with the option of no SSD so I wondered if PCS would. I'm not too worried about saving £35 on a £3,000 system, its just reducing the e-waste. the SSD will end up in the secondary drive for when I...

    Will there ever be an option to have no RAM or SSD? as I plan to use spares that I already own

    PAL vs NTSC is no longer a thing, that's in reference to only analog display standards. this laptop will have DP and HDMI, which supersedes the PAL standard. The NTSC here is in relation to the colour gamut, of which DCI-P3 is 86% of the NTSC gamut, compared to sRGB which is only 73%. Yes this...
