No problem with the reviews. Happy to talk through the calibration if any photographers want to know more. It was a very very very simple process which took all of about 15 minutes tops. I relied on the reviews back in 2012 when I first used PCS and appreciated all the help the forum gave...

Review: Optimus X 17.3” PCS Having used PCS way back in 2012 to build my own laptop a Vortex 17.3” laptop it seemed obvious to return to PCS again when my mother needed a new laptop. The Vortex 7 years later is still going strong, with just the odd little niggle. Pre-sales with them was just...

Certainly. It is for my mother who will not use it to its limits but I have the joy of setting it up and doing all the installs of software etc so I will be checking it out. Will report back.

Thanks for the help and yes you were spot on with the pricing. Now ordered so sitting back and waiting for it to arrive. Then the setup will begin before handing it over to my mother. Getting that itching feeling for a new laptop myself now.......

Thanks, for this really appreciated. Yes the faster RAM is a smaller difference in price than I thought it would be £16 so makes sense. Did you have any thoughts on the hard drive, I am thinking real world the difference between write speeds of 2300MB/W and 3200MB/W she will never notice but...

Hi I am looking at a new laptop for my mother, currently she is on an old (10 year old) 14" inch laptop that was picked up cheap. However it is nearing the end of its life, its near enough not useful anymore but she would not replace it until it gives up. The heaviest stuff she is into is RAW...

Thanks for the thoughts, sadly no improvement it still wishes to throw a strop, did it three times last night. Have tried 2.5 & 5Ghz and both have the problem. This is the only Wi-Fi device in the house that has the problem.

Thanks, the "allow windows to turn off this device" was already unticked. I have set the roaming aggressiveness to 1, it was on 3. The laptop is a desktop replacement so never moves more than a few inches. The channels are identical and free from interference. We are the only house using...

Hi, Can I enlist some help and ideas regarding the WiFi issues that I currently have. I have one of the older Vortex III laptops (i7-3610QM) from 2012 which is soldiering on. The Wifi Card is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-Ac 7260, its not what the laptop came with the but was upgraded...

Hi I am after some advice / thoughts on a new laptop. Currently have a Vortex from 2012 (i7-3610QM, 16Gb, 256Gb Samsung 830 SSD, GTX 670M), still going strong but would not mind something a little faster and lighter this thing is a brick (4kg) and that is without the powerpack. Usage...
