Hey all, So recently, I had to send my HDD back to PCS for repair/replacement. Because Irish post can be quite slow, it only arrived at PCS the other day, but so far, technical support have been great (I had to call them before I sent it off), so thats a +1 for PCS anyway. In the mean time, I...

Ok, there is no way to describe this other than a disaster. I've had my Vortex II for nearly a year now, and it's literally been phenomenal. Over the last 2 days though, something has gone catestrophically wrong with it. I'm not sure what, and I don't really know what is the best course of...

Hey folks, I've a Vortex II, and I noticed that now, there's a Vortex III. I'm currently maxed out at 16Gb of RAM, but, i think that's cos at the time, there was no 8Gb RAM for laptops. Now that there is, can I upgrade to 32Gb? Cheers, N

Hey all, I ordered a laptop about a week ago, and as of today, it's in its 7th working day of pre-production. I know the lead times say that pre-production is often the longest stage, but it also said it typically takes less than a week. I'm not using this thread to have a go at PCS, because so...

Right, so before I get into my recent order with PCS, i'd just like to point out that I was one of the more recent casualties from Kobalt. However, during the time between i placed my order and they went bust, they were actually very helpful. With some much appreciated help from my credit card...

Hey all, So i've just ordered a new laptop (Vortex II) and I'm very excited! :D I was thinking of somehow personalising the case of the laptop. I know stickers are an option, and there's actually a great printhouse just beside where I live that will custom print vinyl stickers. Assuming I stick...
