FIXED IT !!!! .. :cool: So, Thanks to SpyderTracks (y), I was able to identify the laptop is also known as an Osidian-PC PA71. There are a few Youtube videos on it, but, what I found was the keyboard was not securely clipped into the motherboard. I removed the keyboard and tested it using...

Hiya Folks, I wonder if someone can help me, before I shell out some hard cash with the possibiloity of ordering the wrong parts ... ok, so back in 2018, I bought a top spec Defiance Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) + G-Sync Laptop .. For 5 years, she has...

Its for my wife, not daughter .. Daughter already has her Laptop, and its just coming up to 2 years old. My wife doesnt play games ... It will be for Medical related work, so mainly theoretical and presentational / Zoom / Teams Regarding Futureproof ... I really mean longevity ... I see what...

So just re-worked the config .. in summary, I think this will be more than she will need, but certainly futureproof for the next 4 plus years. Slightly less RAM, and a single drive, but as my daughter users hers for gaming too ... Chassis & Display Defiance Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 240Hz...

Cheers for the suggestion Davhun .. My Laptop is an 8th Gen Defiant Series 17.3" Monster, so I think a 14" might be a little too small. My Company Lenovo is 15.6 and that is a good size ... Actually, as I type, I might drop down to a 15.6, something like my daughters spec ... What do you think...

My third Laptop from PC Specialist ... Wife starts a UNiversity Degree in September, so it will stop her from using mine. !

Thankyou for the input ... I double checked the order and spotted the £40 discount, so added it.(y). The 6TB external storage was just a belt and braces thing ... Im not a fan of cloud storage, so the plan is to use the 6TB external drive as a family backup (extra to the budget) .. but easily...

Understood. Much appreciated.
