    PCSPECIALIST Defiance VII 17.3" - Almost unusable on battery

    Hi. I have the same model (2070 Max-Q). After 3 days of mixed usage, I can tell you that: - build seems, overall, good. Chassis not perfectly aligned with mic jack (but it works), good keyboard feeling. Screen is really nice. Laptop is wide, yet light and slim. Perceived quality is very good. -...

    PCSPECIALIST Just Bought This?

    On a second thought, also my mic jack is not perfectly in line with the chassis (less than yours, though). No problem in using it.

    PCSPECIALIST Just Bought This?

    Received my new Defiance VII a couple of days ago. As far as I can see, I can tell you that: - keyboard letters are not faded (at least not yet...) - mic jack is OK, no problem fitting with the chassis - space bar is like yours, not fully lighted (I'd say it's by design, not an issue)

    PCSPECIALIST Just Bought This?

    Hi. Bought exactly the same model as yours, not yet delivered. I was undecided between the defiance and vyper. Basically same price but vyper was way more powerful (RTX 2070 Super in it) Can I ask you why did you opt for the defiance? Did you consider the vyper chassis?

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming laptop

    No problem at all, mate. This thread explained a lot about CPU and available options, very useful to me! At the end of the day, I made up my mind and opted for a Defiance VII. I am wary of Vyper chassis (several complaints about that) and Optimus seems to me a desktop replacement. I need a...

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming laptop

    Hi all. I'm trying to figure out an acceptable configuration for a gaming laptop, but it seems I can't make a decision, due to to the many chassis available. If anyone can give me a hand in pinpointing the target configuration, it would be greatly appreciated. Laptop will be used for gaming (I'm...
