My laptop has now been with PCS for 3 weeks. I appreciate COVID is going on so I'm not going to spit my dummy out i understand these aren't normal times. I was just wondering what time frames people had on their RMA's during COVID. My RMA tracker just says received by PCS. When I spoke to...

I have had my Defiance 3 for about 8 months now and i have run into what looks like a broken screen. About a month ago the screen started to randomly flicker black. I thought it could have been software incompatabillity with Windows 10 so i reinstalled the OS. This has made no difference. As it...

Has anyone here tried the above? If so what are your specs and how well does it run?
