    PCSPECIALIST Will cleaning affect my warranty?

    Just to double check, I got my laptop with 3 year silver warranty around a year ago, and I'm pretty sure it's high time to clean the fan intakes out, and have arrangements to have a professional do it. Just do double check, would opening it up to do that affect the warranty, assuming that...

    PCSPECIALIST Kensington Lock

    I'm planning to take my new Vortex IV to university with me, and naturally want some protection against theft. My model has a kensington lock slot, however as I'm completely unfamiliar with these locks I thought I'd ask for some advice. When looking for kensington locks I find products varying...

    PCSPECIALIST Half of Backlit Keyboard Not Lit

    My new 15.6" Vortex IV arrived last week, and this afternoon I noticed that one side of the backlit keyboard doesn't light up anymore. At the time I was running Space Engineers, so the laptop was working fairly hard, but I didn't notice it being particularly warm, and certainly no warmer than...

    PCSPECIALIST Would this setup work well for gaming? Also, upgrades in future?

    This is my first time getting a custom-built laptop, and was wondering if this setup would be a good setup for gaming, or whether I'd be better off with a few tweaks in select places to optimise it. Budget-wise, I can add a little more money, but don't want to pay all that much more than is...

    PCSPECIALIST Vortex IV Fingerprint Scanner

    I have two questions regarding the fingerprint scanner option on the 15.6" Vortex IV. Firstly, I notice that it only appears in some of the attached images, and not others. Is it specific customisation option or are the pictures without it of a different model of laptop? Secondly, what is it...

    PCSPECIALIST Warranty covers dead pixels?

    I notice that on most laptops I've seen here (though if it matters, the one in question is the 15.6" Vortex IV) dead pixel cover is separate option to the warranty. My question is does the warranty cover dead pixels in any way or will that only be covered by a dead pixel guarantee?
