Ordered my (all parts in stock) laptop on 8th May and am still in "Pre-Production" unfortunately on the 18th. I'm thinking I will be lucky to see it in May now. Although the estimated lead times state 9-11 days for laptops, when I messaged them it was estimated 3-4 weeks before going into...

My order has an estimated 3-4 weeks until it's built while in stock, so I don't think that will make any difference - a vyper 3. Also I would guess for uni it's needed in July or September, so should be ok. The cosmos is 3mm thinner (15%?), has usb 3.2 over the 3.1 and a mini display port which...

That's a good laptop for the budget to be fair. Would definitely add the £9 for the 'better' thermal paste. Laptops run hot, and that £9 could improve cooling and therefore device performance / lifespan. I do like the design of the Cosmos too. It's a thin, elegant chassis - albeit with the 45%...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I went back and upgraded the M2 for a larger capacity while my order is still in processing. Lets hope that moves on to production soon!

Ahh ok thank you. Would the same thing not be an issue though? That the cloned drive was configured for different hardware? Perhaps it will be best for me to install fresh on the new 250gb - I just shudder at the amount of setting changes, registry entries and such I have made over the past...

Ahh yes, I have another 250gb m2 in my current laptop which I plan to put in the new system. Also have a couple of 500 GB Samsung evo SSDs, so will put one of them in it too. Haven't decided the best way to go about that yet though. I'm considering either; - Put my current 250gb drive in as...

Hi guys, Ordered my first system from PCS! It's a 2nd gaming system which will also be used for work. I travel a lot and in the past 18 months have probably done 80% of my gaming on a £600, 3 year old Dell machine rather than my £2500+ desktop unfortunately for me. Excited and slightly anxious...
