Hi The new Optimus III 15.6 laptop now states in the specs that it has a fingerprint reader but the pics don't seem to show this. Is the chassis different for the III version and if so are pics going to be put up? Or is the fingerprint reader a mistake? Thanks EDIT: also the GPU states in...

Hi I'm considering going from a desktop to a laptop due to portability issues and have a budget of approximately £700. As I only realy play Football Manager as a game and most other tasks will be internet, word processing, etc I was considering whether I could just have integrated graphics and...

Hi Just a brief query, on the website it states that the above laptop has an integrated 1.3 mp camera: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/optimusII/ However when you then click on the '?' by 'Webcam' (the question mark to the far right not the one right next to the title 'webcam') it...

Hi At some stage my aging 3 year old PCS PC will need to be replaced and I have a budget of approximately £650-£700. I mainly use the PC for internet and mid-level games so it doesn't have to be a fantastic spec but obviously I want the best spec for my money. I've made the below spec: Case...

I'm hoping that my existing PC can be repaired but if not I am looking for a new PC with a budget of approx £600-£700. The PC will mainly be used for general gaming use, internet, etc but I do want it to be as high end as I can get for my price in case this changes. I am thinking of the below...

Hi I have a previous post about my PC not booting and as I think it may be the above GPU that has failed I just wanted some advice if possible. I may be looking at replacing the above and have seen some that quote DDR3 where as my RAM is DDR2. Probably a stupid question but I'm assuming that the...

Hi My PC has just froze while I was on the net. No bluescreen it just completely froze and nothing was responsive. Due to this had to power it on and off via the power switch. When trying to turn it on now all the fans spin, the lights come on as normal, but there is no post beep as normally...

Wonder if anyone can help. I have a PCS system that I've had for about 2 and a half years. Been running fine and speedy but all of a sudden today it seems to lag quite a bit. Internet bit slower, clicking on Control Panel slow, etc. I've checked the Windows Task Manager and it is constantly...

Over the last few months I have noticed a funny irregular noise which I think is coming from the PSU fan. It almost sounds like it is touching something as it spins round but when I look in the case there doesn't seem to be anything obvious it would come into contact with. If needed is it easy...

Been using the above for quite a while now just to keep my PC and laptops as junk free as possible via their registry cleaner and the usual CCleaner of files. Many people now seem to say that these types of software are not needed and that they don't offer much practical help with your PC in...

I am having issues with our Acer laptop (am a PCS customer but the issue I have is with a non-PCS laptop so hope you can still help). It was recently sent to a 'technician' due to a faulty DC jack which was replaced but ever since the technician has changed the jack it would not boot at all...

Hi I've recently been looking at new PC's and due to a lack of space I've been considering mini pc's and all in one pc's (the pc and the monitor all in one). Do PCS have any plans to launch all in one pc's?

Hi I'm in the process of (hopefully) getting a replacement motherboard as mine appears to have failed. When I re-connect the CPU is it ok to just re-connect it as it was or do I need to clean the existing paste off and re-paste it? Any help appreciated.
